Hello all,

I'm working on an auto parts web store using this contribution: Year Make Model (YMM) "Select Vehicle" box ...here's the link to it: http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/6684

It's a really cool contribution and works well. However, there are over 10,000 auto parts that need to be populated, so I want to use this contribution to do that: Easy Populate & Products Attributes ... here's the link to it: http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/500

Unfortunately, the easy populate contribution does not understand or work with the YMM contribution. Does anyone know how to get around this? or to get these two contributions to work together?

Any help is greatly appreciated!

Vivida

The changes are to products table of the database as far as I can see for the YMM mod, in which case the easypopulate has a set of very simple instructions on how to add the new fields so you can download and upload using easypopulate.

This can be found in the easypopulate.php file in admin when you look at the file you will find the instructions on how to do it.


Then it will be case of filling in the correct column of the csv file before uploading.

shouldnt take long to create fields and then its a case of uploading the new data.
Getting better with mods but no programmer am I.

As I read through the easypopulate.php file it says that it only works for the table_products and the table_products_description files. YMM creates a new table named products_ymm and if you read down the easypopulate.php file it clearly states the EP will only add fields to these two files.

Am I reading this right??

Has anyone actually added custom fields (in a new table) to EP?

Thank to all for this great collaboration!

Jeff

Jeff,
What I am thinking is why would you need to add custome feilds? Tables are in a database using MySQL. You can have the two fields relate to each other. my SQL is rusted.. a base where table1.table = table2.table .

Anybody? How can you have one table pull data from another table?
