Easy Populate with Products Extra Fields

[PattyM]

I have Products Extra Fields 2_0 installed along iwth Easy Populate 2.7. I realize the instructions only give directions on how to add extra fields to the products and products-descriptions tables thru the easypopulate.php file.

 

However, I also need to add the tables used in the Products Extra Fields contribution which are table names products_extra_fields and products_to_products_extra_field. How do I add these extra tables in to make them work with Easy Populate?

 

I'm using OSC 2.2rc2a

 

Thank you in advance.

Part of the installation instructions will be to run some sql to create these table.

 

I think you need to check you have followed all the installation steps.

The tables are all created. Both programs work fine seperatly. I just need to be able to put the Product Extra Field tables in Easy Populate. As of now, Easy populate only adds the products and products_description tables from the default OSC installation.

 

How do I modify Easy Populate code to add the two additional tables used in Product Extra Fields?

Read the excellent documentation that comes with EP which explains what you need to change in /admin/easypopulate.php.

 

Then your import file should be in this format.

Thank you for your quick reply. However, my documentation does not give the instructions on how to do this. In the section that reads, X. OTHER CONTRIBUTION INTEGRATION HELP under EXTRA FIELDS CONTRIBUTION, it reads

-----------------------------------------

 

(sorry, ran out of time)

 

So I do not have the instructions on how to make Extra Feilds Contribution work with Easy Populate.

 

Also, in easypopulate.php it reads,

 

// FINAL NOTE: this currently only works with the "products" & "products_description" table.

// If it works well and I don't get a plethora of problems reported,

// I may expand it to more tables. Feel free to make requests, but

// as always, only as me free time allows.

 

 

If you could provide me with instructions I would greatly appreciate it.
