easypopulate uploading but no database insert

[mousehunt]

running ep 2.6 wiht oscom 2.2

I have my temp directories configured corrently, with 777 set as the mode

I have changed all tep_array_.... array_......

 

I have read many, many posts and did not come up with an answer.

 

I look in my database using phpMyAdmin, and no data found

 

I am using csv-type text files.

 

The upload runs fine and my uploaded files are found in ....shop/catalog/temp as expected

 

I receive no errors, from what I can tell.

 

Please help

 

Thanks in advance.....

I need more info about what is happening when you run easypopulate.

 

Does each product have a unique product id? it is the first column.

I had sort of the same problem. Try 'downloading' your .txt file into your temp folder. then from ftp, download that file to your computer. open it in excel. If you are missing the first column labeled "v_products_id" , you'll need to create it. Just move all the data over 1 column to the right, and insert the new column heading at cell A1. Give each product a unique product ID #.

 

When done doing that, save the file as text-delimited. Go into your ftp program, and go to your temp folder. Rename the .txt file you have in there to something else, so you can now upload your newly edited, and updated .txt file on your hard drive.

 

Go to easypopulate.php page and now update your database through the temp, directory, not by uploading the file directly.

 

That was the problem i was having, and through TONS of trial and error figured out a routine that helped.

 

You can read this post of mine to see for yourself and maybe in more details:

What version are you all using that doesn't have the product_id column?

Or is there a difference in the MS2 product database that could be causing the difference? I haven't used EP with MS2 yet.
