mark27uk3 Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 Hi Guys, I am trying to import my products (3 test products to start with), I entered one producy manually and then exported it using the 'Download Complete tab-delimited .txt file to edit' option. I edited the file using microsoft works spreadsheet, added two more different products. Now when I upload the ep file, I am told that all products have been updated, but only the first product is actually there and then part of the actual product name is missing! I am now stumped! :huh: Is this an easypopulate problem or am I doing something wrong? Thanx Mark Quote Lifes a bitch, then you marry one, then you die!

Guest Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 save the file in excel, if you don't have excel find something close...and save the file as text file. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeke Posted March 12, 2004 Share Posted March 12, 2004 You don't need to export only save as TXT Tab-delimited. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark27uk3 Posted March 13, 2004 Author Share Posted March 13, 2004 Hi Guys, I have managed to save the file as tab delimited, but now when I try to upload the file I get this error: File uploaded. Temporary filename: C:\DOCUME~1\MARKCL~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\php94.tmp User filename: ep1.txt Size: 149872 41Nokia 3310 Dicks House "Muff Diver"... ERROR! - Too many characters in the model number. 12 is the maximum on a standard OSC install. Your maximum product_model length is set to 25 You can either shorten your model numbers or increase the size of the field in the database. I have changed the product_model length to 100 and it still does not work, any ideas on how to sort it? Thanx Mark Quote Lifes a bitch, then you marry one, then you die!

poddan1 Posted March 14, 2004 Share Posted March 14, 2004 First of all.. In easypopulate.php you have a standard field that tells you how long the modelnr should be maximum //**** Size of products_model in products table **** // set this to the size of your model number field in the db. We check to make sure all models are no longer than this value. // this prevents the database from getting fubared. Just making this number bigger won't help your database! They must match! global $modelsize; $modelsize = 15; modelnr should be a short number.. It?s for you so that u easy can order that the customer wants. My nummers reflect the numbers that mine Manufacturers have... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark27uk3 Posted March 14, 2004 Author Share Posted March 14, 2004 I have uploaded the products ok, when you view the product it shows all ok. The problem now is that when I click to enlarge the image it opens the window but just shows a red cross. Mark Quote Lifes a bitch, then you marry one, then you die!

mark27uk3 Posted March 15, 2004 Author Share Posted March 15, 2004 Hi, All my gifs and jpegs appear to be in the right place, I have even tried uploading the image again by editing the product in admin but still no joy! :blink: I am really starting to get a bit peeved with the whole thing! :angry: I dont understand why the small image shows but not the larger version! If this cannot be solved is there anyway to get rid of the click to enlarge option and just display the large image? Help Please! Thanx Mark Quote Lifes a bitch, then you marry one, then you die!

mark27uk3 Posted March 16, 2004 Author Share Posted March 16, 2004 (edited) Sorry to bump this one back up guys, but can anyone shed anymore light on my problem? I have noticed that when I go to load images using the main page editor contrib that no files are shown in the image root!

findtim Posted March 18, 2004 Share Posted March 18, 2004 you probably have the image url/link in the wrong field. i had the same prob and fixed it by downloading the original/default EP file and seeing where the image links were. i had my LARGE image url in large when it should have been in medium. didn't amke sense to me but fixed the problem tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
