this contribution will not make pics bigger for you. it needs to be larger then the largest size you wish to have, then the contribution will reduce it as your specify.

A link to your file would help. See the support section of the latest version I uploaded for details.

what's the OS on your computer? what are you using to edit the file? since this is an older version, I probably won't be able to help much. The latest version (2.76i) has much better docs and far more bug fixes, BUT I'm not 100% sure it supports the latest version of SPPC. If my latest version doesn't support it, I believe the version you tried won't either.

You should make sure you are not hosted on a plan with a remote SQL server. That is always trouble with osC. I don't know what osCommerce flavor you have, but 3.0 easypop was never adopted well here and it's author asked folks to use something else. So replacing what you have could be trouble if your shop is not osCommerce RCx. there isn't any reason to replace your EP version. just download the latest version uploaded by me (2.76i) and look at step 6 of the html docs included. search the contributions section for easypopulate.

I can't help you with 3.0. which is why you didn't see that setting in the file I suspect. But there is a pretty good detail in the latest version's installation instructions that should help with timeouts.

you're looking for this section of the settings //**** 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! // If you increase the Model Number size, you must increase the size of the field // in the database. Use a SQL tool like phpMyAdmin (see your host) and change the // "products_model" field of the "products" table in your osCommerce Database. define ('EP_MODEL_NUMBER_SIZE', 12); // default is 12

I can't think of any problems this would cause. there is a setting at the top of the code page in the settings.

if you remove that line and the page works, it sounds like a problem with xamp's interpreter. That code is fine.

the default is 12 chars. you have to change the setting in easypopulate.php and change the field length in the products database table using something like phpMyAdmin usually supplied by your host.

check out post 1397 on the previous page.

double check that all the included files actually got uploaded to your site. Then double check that PHP errors are turned on with your host so that you may be able to debug future issues.

sorry, not sure what mickthehat updated in that version. It appears by the description the docs were updated. Most folks haven't had trouble with the version I uploaded. The support for other contributions are quite specific to those contributions. I would not expect them to work with other contributions.

not sure what you are referring to.

any html can be included with the product description.

it's really more of a community project as VJ hasn't been involved in over 6 years.

step 3 says: STEP #3 - Add a link in the Admin Panel. Edit file "/catalog/admin/incudes/boxes/catalog.php" Find this code (Around Line 25): '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES, '', 'NONSSL') . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">' . BOX_CATALOG_CATEGORIES_PRODUCTS_ATTRIBUTES . '</a><br>' . Directly AFTER add this: '<a href="' . tep_href_link('easypopulate.php', '', 'NONSSL') . '" class="menuBoxContentLink">Easy Populate</a><br>' .

I would. the install is pretty easy.

the froogle part is quite out of date. please use a contribution specifically for product feeds for full compatibility with latest Googlebase standards.

please see the support section of the docs for the complete list of items needed help you further.

my bet is a problem in your admin configure.php. for deleting, it will look for the file by combining the DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES from your config plus the image name in the database. DIR_FS_CATALOG_IMAGES is a concatenation of DIR_FS_CATALOG + 'images/' (stock). DIR_FS_CATALOG is usually a concatenation of DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT + DIR_WS_CATALOG. You need to make sure the combination of all those items equals the correct path to your images. Equally important is not having duplicate slashes in the path. DIR_WS_CATALOG usually has a leading slash and a trailing slash. one of the more common mistakes is to also add a trailing slash to DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT, which is incorrect. Hope that helps. PM me your admin configure file if you need further help.

you should examine why <table width="900px"> is in your code just above the images. it will cause problems

if you are looking for a mouseover, I believe this is the only images contribution that offers that kind of display. There are other simpler contributions that will do the additional images, but you will have to code the mouseover yourself. you should get use to using a compare tool. once your shop gets to the point where using a compare tool seems difficult, doing a "find this, change that" method is impossible since the "find this" part has most likely changed. You can try comparing to the stock osC shop for each page first, then it should be very clear what need to be inserted in your code. Beyond Compare software (purchased) has been great for me. WinMerge is another that is free.

you are missing the step "D" in the instructions: D. More FILES MODIFICATION (Search and Replace)

osCommerce version? has to be there or your admin will error-out

step 6 of the install instructions. If you didn't understand the process there when installing, please let me know where you got stuck.
