Easy Populate - Having some issues can you help?

[greatdeals_007]

I am new to Easy populate and have some general questions I was hoping someone could help?

 

Export current catalog

when I export my current catalog I noticed it does not list some very key fields like cost, list and map pricing? these are key fields for me. can I manually insert columns and if so what are the column headers for these?

 

Pictures

I noticed there is a v_products_image that points or references my product images. do you know if I can upload a bunch of product photos to my site and then just have the easy populate lines reference the file names? where do I upload those photos exactly?

 

Product description

I noticed the product short description does not appear on the main page like the others. if I drill down on the item I can see the description. I didn't change anything I basically took the existing catalog erased all but 1 line. I created a 2nd litem with the exact same columns but different description.

 

item 1 description appears on the main page

item 2 description does not appear only the model number

 

can anyone help with some of these questions? thank you

Did you change the download type from custom to complete?

 

list price/rrp are not standard fields so wont be downloaded

 

You specify where the images directory will be in configuration.php so have a look in there normally catalog/images/

I downloaded the complete file and noticed there is no short description column? does anyone know if I can manually insert that column into the easy populate spreadsheet? what is the header name?

 

thank you
