Guest Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 hi all, i have just installed EP and at first all seemed to be well. i have downloaded a Model/Price/Qty tab-delimited .txt file to edit and changed one of my prices then uploaded it. When i upload it i get the message; File uploaded. Temporary filename: /tmp/phpi5E5lu User filename: EP2005May06-0808.txt Size: 134 but....the price hasn't changed on the website? any ideas? i thought mabey since there are no errors it is a simply thing that is not quite right. when i downloaded the .txt file in the first place, i open with excel and chose the following options, Deliminated file, Tab and semicolon deliminated, test qualifier " (default), colum date format 'general' any thoughts. Thank you. pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 did you create the temp directory per the documentation with the proper file permissions? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 6, 2005 Share Posted May 6, 2005 Hi all. I've scoured every page of this thread, as well as easypopulate.php and its instructions, and it is still not clear to me where to uncomment in order to use EasyPopulate with an image mod. (I have the Big Images mod installed, incidentally). Would someone please take the time to explain what needs to be uncommented? Or in the alternative, would someone post their functioning easypopulate.php which has been modified to allow the use of an image mod? Thank you greatly!

Guest Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 you have a document_root problem in your configure.php, use this: define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', $DOCUMENT_ROOT); should the address have 2 catalog folders in it? try opening easypopulate.php and alter $tempdir = "/catalog/temp/"; to $tempdir = "/temp/"; <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 so are you going to be uploading/downloading customer names with this all the time? adding a field to ep just find where you want to insert the field in the code and test . . I have added a customer field to my products database which is under products as products_sku, and I need EP to download this feild too when I do a full download. Anyone know how to make it do this? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 your field names need to match what you have in the database, easiest thing to do is add them after v_products_image and/or products_image As an afterthought... this issue has been asked numerous times in this thread, with no clear answer given.

pixelsoul Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Hmm your right i triedit with only the template plugin added and it still works wondering what it can be :s easypopulate is independent of sts, go back thru your sts installation. or dsable sts and see what you get. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chuckyboy Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 Hi! I have problem with downloading "Complete tab-delimited .txt file". I have ~1000 products and ~60 attributes. I think this is too big database to download, or put it in the TEMP directory. :'( and maybe timed out the server. I cant SET TIME LIMIT, becouse the server is in SAFE MODE. Any idae to solve my problem? :( Chucky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 edit easypopulate.php and download certain options at a time, until you have everything downloaded. best bet is to get another host where you are not in safe mode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥DAVID3733 Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I have spent many days looking through all the posts but do not appear to have found a post that answers my question (although I have found some that asks the same question) I have many contributions inc Admin with user levels In the admin page I have the link to the easypopulate page but when I click one of the links to create a file to be downloaded it just goes straight back to the admin login and does not create a file in the temp dir. tempdir \temp\ the dir has write permision its on a win 2000 server could someone please point me in the right direction Quote David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 it is because of your path setting in easypopulate.php, windows is different than *nix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
