In the admin/includes/boxes/catalog_easy_populate.php file right after the */ add this line:

For the other error, in the osc_addons_compatibility.php file, change this line

Thanks, Did the code changes.  Did a reload of the page and the errors are gone.  I only use 2 functions, csv file dump and restore.  I did both a dump and restore and no error messages.

Easy Populate 3.4 Free version
@Jack_mcs When I select specials from the options, my special prices are not shown in the spreadsheet?

Please try the latest version.

[SCH_001]

@Jack_mcs I downloaded your 3.6 but the file still says 3.4?
// Current EP Version
define ('EP_CURRENT_VERSION', '3.4');

And it did not resolve the issue
Running osCommerce Online Merchant v2.3.4.1 CE which I believe is Frozen

If running a custom report I am only ticking "specials" and choosing a manufacturer, all I get from the report is

Does it work if you run a full report? I seem to recall there was a problem in the free version where it didn't work in custom mode, though I may not be remembering correctly.

[SCH_001]

There is no option from the drop-down box for a full report?

[Jack_mcs]

The menu option says Complete.

Yes that worked, So what needs to be done so it will work with custom?

It's only available in the Pro version.

[SCH_001]

So you have to pay for the pro version, which gives me no extra features I need for the free version to work correctly?
That does not seem right.

I have 35115 products in my store, doing a complete report to check on the specials take a while

But ok thank-you for your time

The free version works correctly. It just doesn't have all of the options the Pro version does.

Fairness runs both ways. The days of free addons has mostly passed. It takes a lot of time to write an addon and to keep them updated.  In both V4 and Phoenix, there are some free addons, some of which are limited, but many more that have to be paid for. If paying for the developer's time is not something you wish to do, you are not forced to do that. 

[SCH_001]

Jack not trying to be argumentative, but the free version does not work correctly as only selecting name and specials does not work. The option for getting specials working in not listed as an option in the pro version that I can see.

I agree fairness runs both ways, so as "Check Image Usage" does not work with images store in separate directories there is no point me purchasing the Pro version for AU$103.94 what price would you put on fixing the specials tick box so it works for myself and others?

Thanks, Troy

Sorry. That is sloppy documentation on my part. As you found previously, the free 3.6 version shows it is 3.4.

I don't know how you would know this since you don't have the Pro version. But it works fine with images in sub-directories as long as that is how they are entered in the products table, which is how the addon for that feature works. If you are using some other method, I've no way to know if it will work or not.

And, to be clear, the option is for checking products that have an image in its settings but the image cannot be found. This is another mistake in the docs. I plan to add a check for unused images but haven't done that yet.

Because you told me
Now I am confused as you are now saying "it works fine with images in sub-directories" which is different to what you told me "If you have the product images stored in subdirectory's, it will not work with those. I have worked on a change for that and it may work, though I haven't thoroughly tested it yet."

Anyway this is not what my issue is.
What price would you put on fixing the specials tick box in the free version so it works for myself and others?

I didn't realize you had emailed me. I don't have an easy way of identifying usernames to email addresses so, unless mentioned, I treat each one separately.

In the email you sent, you never mentioned the question was about Easy populate. If you look through my replies, you will see I was talking about the Image Interrogator addon, which is not related to EP at all. The image checker in EP works with subdirectories. The one in the Image Interrogator does not, at this time.

I'm sorry but I am not interested in creating another version at this point due to my work load.

Ummm the subject line of my email was "Pro version easy populate" <- but anyway not relevant to this conversation

I am not asking for you to create another version, I am asking you to quote me on fixed this error in this version, very surprised you are not interested in paid work, but fair enough.

Ok I will leave it at that, I will seek pricing elsewhere to get this resolved

 

[Jack_mcs]

I apologize for missing that but I rarely look at subjects since so few apply to the actual subject, in my experience.

It's the same thing. I don't know what parts of the code deal with the specials issue off the top of my head. So to do what you want, I would install the addon in a test shop, find the problem code, apply the change and test it. The end fix will probably just be a few lines of code. Finding that code and testing it could take hours. So doing what you want would not save you much in the final cost. I don't know how long that will take so I can't accurately quote it. If you want it done for $20 under the code of the Pro package, I will do that, though it doesn't sound like a good deal to me.

Good morning everyone,

I am a long-time osc user and I no longer find the possibility of downloading the modules for previous versions such as: "Easy Populate 2.76i-MS2". Does anyone have a direct link where I can find it?

Thanks anyway for your attention

[lampino]

looking better the version I was looking for was 2.76D MS2 (still having osCommerce 2.2-MS2 with PHP Version 4.4.9). I have kept the sources of all the contributions installed but I have no longer been able to find the sources for those that I had not posted in his time.

[Jack_mcs]

@lampinoSome old addons can be found here. You can get updated versions here. The latter has a version that should work with your shop.
