you cant use ep for displaying one product but it is meant for two, you will need to use attributes.
unless someone knows another way . .

I'm having issues with my image sizes.
using EP STS and osC2.2

Here are my image properties:
Small Image Width 	 100    
Small Image Height 	 Info 
Heading Image Width  60  Info 
Heading Image Height 	 Info 
Subcategory Image Width  57  Info 
Subcategory Image Height 	 Info 
Calculate Image Size  true  Info 
Image Required  false  Info

The problem is that my images are the same small size where ever the products are displayed. If I set all the numbers to 0, then it displays the full size image. There doesn't seem to be any inbetween. No of the other numbers seem to do anything. Help

Thanks,
ZAch

whether u r using easypopulate or adding the products manually you will get the same thing.
you need to add a thumbnailer contribution or have multiple size images (small and large) and use mopics, something like that.

I am posting because I am not sure if this issue was specific to me(maybe I am using the wrong version or something) or not. I realized that my Froogle feed was sending ALL my prod to froogle wether the product was actually active or not. Nothing was telling Froogle about the quantity or availability. Froogle has a field for telling them about your stock. It is set in EP as a default to 'Y' which is in stock. I needed to tell Froogle if the product was not in stock. So this is what I did:
Find this:
// Other froogle defaults go here for now
  $row['v_froogle_instock'] 	 = 'Y';

And replace it with this:
// Other froogle defaults go here for now
                $row['v_froogle_instock']                 = 'Y'; // default is active
        if      ($row['v_products_quantity'] == 0) {
                // if zero qty products, tell Froogle
                $row['v_froogle_instock']                 = 'N';
        }
//   $row['v_froogle_instock']                 = 'Y';   Replaced this so Froogle does not
//  Think EVERY prod in the catalog is available, status setting was not being used

Backup first as I cannot completely guarantee that this will work for everyone. You may not even need this, but I did. Hope it helps someone. Craig :)

BTW If this issue is specific to me, then ignore me.
Happy Coding!

When people say "download file from database", are you exporting the database? How are you doing this, a mysql dump?

I got easypopulate functioning but not working.

I'm getting this in my easypopulate, I assume it's an error with my data but I'm not sure what that is.

With the contribution EasyPopulate you can export the articles from the (relational) osCommerce database in a flat file (non-relational) form. This makes it easier to get to your list of articles.
Also, you can import articles into the osCommerce database from e.g. an Excel spreadsheet through a flat file.

Thanx JimmyJam. I figured it out after the fact. That's how I followed up with the second post. Still having issues with data formatting(i think).

Why on a clean install of OSCommerce when I upload an EP file with some new field it's never shown in the right place?
And also why is it Inactive by default when I did the correction in the easypopulate file and its quantity is not zero?

Nothing is getting updated...

I haven't changed anything at all in my files. Anyone know the reason for this.

When using osCommerce, where is the association between category and product made by index.php?


I see the associations exist in the "categories_to_products" table after running the installation with osCommerce. However, osCommerce doesn't bring up the products after navigating through the categories.

Hi all

I have just used the easypopulate and everything worked fine except that out of 400 products whici there are all active, only 91 showed but active and the rest inactive.

I tried a few times and every time I had the same amount active/inactive. Checked the file I am uploading and the all active expect 4

Why this pecularity?

Thanks

did you read thru your easypopulate.php file and edit accordingly to active/inactive with stock?
do you have inventory counts in the items marked inactive?
those two things tie together. and the installation file explicitely states very strongly to get it working properly you need to read the file.
