Easy Populate Too Many Fields

[dlyxzen]

Hi,

 

I am currently trying to install EP_v2_76c_MS2. If i download a complete EP tab file and try to import this into excel i receive the error message from excel saying it cannot handle the amount of fields that is being imported (probably due to the amount of attributes i have) alot of information gets cutoff on the end of the sheet (category, sub category etc:) and hence is not a complete file when if i make any changes to it and try to upload it again, no product i enter in are created because some important information is not included in the file.

 

Is there anyway to cull the amount of fields that get exported in a complete file, or an easier way to work with hundreds and hundreds of attributes. (have had a look through alot of threads and cannot seem to find anything)

 

thanks for your help

 

cheers

Try this below. It worked like a charm for me. I used version 2.76d-MS2

 

To toggle attribute data download, change this config variable (in easypopulate.php):

 

// change this to false, if do not want to download product attributes. If you have

// a large number of attributes, you may want to this false. Attributes adds lots of

// additional data to the export.

 

global $products_with_attributes;

$products_with_attributes = true;

This seem to work, thanks :)

 

however i am now getting a problem, i am trying to use the contrib with SPPC , i have uncommented the v_customer_price_1 and _2 lines (i have retail and wholesale) except the EP file i am downloading still does not have a column for either of this fields. Do i need to uncomment only v_customer_price_1 or _2 as well, i would have thought retail pricing would go in the normal field for pricing and wholesale to go in v_customer_pricing_1 .

 

any help would be appreciated !!
