my web designer installed the easy populate feature and I am having some issues trying to use it. I was

hoping you might be able to help clear up some questions.

 

MODIFYING EXISTING CATALOG

I exported my current catalog to a spreadsheet. I made my modifications, saved and then tried to upload the file back. I get a time out error?

 

when do you use one of the following over the other? in otherwords is there any documentation or instructions available?

 

Upload and Import EP File

Upload and Split EP File

Import EP file from Temp Dir

 

ADDING NEW SUPPLIER FEEDS TO MY EXISTING CATALOG

my suppliers all send me csv files that I want to be able to import. I am not sure if am suppose to export the existing catalog and add to it OR can I just upload the new files which will append to the existing catalog? how do you get the pictures to appear since they are in another file? do you include references or points of some sort?

 

any help would be much appreciated! thank you

If you are not changing your current catalog you only need to add the new products. Thus is should not timeout.

 

Try up loading 10, then 20 etc until it times out and you will know hw many products you can upload in one go.

 

There is loads of documentation that comes with the EP contribution, go get the contribution and have a hunt around.

 

Supplier feeds, up to you, reload everything or just the new ones.

 

You specify the path in the EP file to the image. Then use ftp to put the image there on your server.
