Easypopulate 2.2 I need help with

[fantomen]

I am running Ms windows 2000 professional and I use MS Office 2000.

I am wondering about Easypopulate 2.2.

When I download from Easypopulate 2.2 and save it to my desktop and then rightclick to open with ms excel and I ad one product. I have for the moment 80 products with description and prices. Then I save it as a tab delimited file and save it in the same name I got when I opened it the first time. Then when I try to upload and save to database it runs but I am still back in easypopulate screen and I get no error messages and I can not see the testproduct I added in my store neither in categories/products in admin.

What is wrong?

I am wondering if it has something to do with my modelsize number they differ from 4 up to 12 characters and when I read insideeasypopulate.php file it says on line 139:/ set this to the size of your model number field in the db. We check to make sure all models are no longer than this value.

// this prevents the database from getting fubared. Just making this number bigger won't help your database! They must match!

global $modelsize;

$modelsize = 12;

I am wondering perhaps it must be 12 characters exactly no more or less?

Or please tell me what is wrong.

I have done everything needed as the instructions that comes with easypopulate2.2.

I am happy for all answers I can get on this problem.

Best Regards

No, it just can't be longer that 12 chars. Less is fine.

 

Do you get any output at all when you upload the file?

Answer:Nothing happens when I try to upload to database. No error messages or nothing.
