Easy Populate?

[sbojo32]

I just downloaded Easy Populate because I have 2000+ items I would like to get into my store easily, only I am not at all familar with this program or how to install it or run it. I've read the ReadMe and this is what it says:

 

2. Copy file easypopulate.php and easypopulate_functions into admin/.

 

3. For adding link to the Admin, edit file admin/includes/boxes/catalog.php by adding this line:

 

'<a href="' . tep_href_link('easypopulate.php', '', 'NONSSL') . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">Easy Populate</a><br>'.

 

After:

'<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES, '', 'NONSSL') . '"

class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_CATALOG_CATEGORIES_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES .

'</a><br>' .

 

I can upload the files to Admin/ - is that the right thing to do? Then what? I don't want to mess up what I've already done (although it's not much). Please help a newbie!!! Thanks!

You also have to create a directory called "temp" in /catalog/. Make sure you format your text file correctly, upload it to the temp directory, and use ep's "upload from temp" function.

 

As for installation, just follow the instructions. You may have to change some variables in easypopulate.php to reflect your own server paths, but I got it to work with 10,600+ products.
