Virtual1 Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Using easy_populate_2.62-ms2 - well trying to - and it gives me some very crappy results. The most annoying is that it duplicates the category and products every single time. It also creates a "product expected" listing on the main page of my store.... Has anyone had any luck with this contrib as I see quite a few issues. Is there a better way to populate my DB? I have 1000's of products to add across 2 different installs and as much as I like OSC I cant be spending days on end trying to get my products in. Anybody?

Jack_mcs Posted December 5, 2003 Share Posted December 5, 2003 I use EP and it works great. I did have a hard time getting it to work though. One of the mistakes I made when I started using it was not keeping the product model number the same on each reload. I would add a new product in Excel and then re-number everything to make sure they were all unique. The problem you are having with duplication seems like it could be caused by this. To verify, go to your shops admin page and enable showing the model number. Then look at the duplicates and compare the numbers. I'll bet they are different. If they are, then it means you have added the items under different model numbers. If they are the same, then that's not the problem.
