EP_v2_77a_for_2.3_1

BUT, it has instructions for 2.2 in the download

[Benjjj6]

Hi
I have just installed EP_v2_77a_22RC2a by Roaddoctor (4 March 2012 package) on a MS2.2 store with about 3500 products.

I can download something simple such as a Model/Category file but When I click Create & Download I eventually (after about a minute) get an 500 Internal Server Error. What is the problem?


Thanks,
Ben

anybody?

[Benjjj6]

My host has now told me that the script does not have the correct log in details:

Apache-Error: [file "mod_auth_basic.c"] [line 264] [level 3] user admin not found: /test/admin/easypopulate.php, referer: http://www.mysite.co.uk/test/admin/categories.php?selected_box=catalog
Apache-Error: [file "core.c"] [line 3714] [level 3] File does not exist: /home/account/public_html/401.shtml, referer: http://www.mysite.co.uk/test/admin/categories.php?selected_box=catalog

Does anyone have a solution for running this script on a store with lots of products? Currently I can not even download the .csv as the server times out after 60 seconds.

I know we can split the file for uploading, but what about downloading?

[Benjjj6]

When uploading a .csv do all columns need to be in the file? ie. Are all the columns necessary?

And, Does EasyPopulate support the updating of attributes? I am not sure how to get that to work?

It indicates an error in the code around lines 1080 to 1083 in easypopulate.php.

If we could be  shown 10 lines before and after that line, might be able to help more.

SKU is not a standard field, open easypopulate.php and follow the instructions on how to add new fields in the product file.

Then use the Export EP or Froogle Products File and down load a cutom file.

You can upload using files that only contain the columns you need but read the documentation for the mandatory fields certainly the model no and EOREOR are 2 you need.

Either set the maximum execution time in php.ini  to a higher value or make a custom feed and filter on manufacturer of category.

PS Attributes can be loaded using EP but it took me ages workiing out how to do it, download a sample file of products that have attributes and then use that as a template to upload/amend products with attributes.

Hi there,

sorry to sound like a dunce here but does anyone know if the latest version of Easy Populate  works with v2.2 rc2 as it seems to be playing a few tricks with my products.


Cheers

This file is as it was from the download...I'll add a space, but the author may want to update the download

[geoffreywalton]

As it is open source you might care to contribute by correcting it and uploading it yourself.
