Great contrib, so easy to install too. One question when I add a example file to the admin section of the store it doesn't pick it up but it does in the root, eg it'll pick up store/zzz.php but not store/admin/zzz.php is that a problem my end or is the contrib not supposed to pick up new store/admin/ files Thank you.

Try setting in easypopulate.php $tempdir = "temp/"; In admin configure.php define('DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT', '/var/www/html/store/'); // where the pages are located on the server Where store change to whatever you have it set at catalog etc.... May not work but did for me so worth a shot.

Top man! thanks very much, very pleased to have this working at last. But as always there is something else :) nothing major just an option. On the images is there a way to have it called from a different server rather than inputing image1.gif into the column you could put http://img.sever1.com/images/(imagename).gif I tried messing with the options in easypopulate.php around //**** Image Defaulting **** but nothing I changed would allow me to do this. Thanks.

Hi, I've solved the above error at last. But now I'm getting the error: 1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax It does install a few products though, 6 to be exact. Any help would be very much appreciated, hoping to get this cracked for tonight (in uk) thanks for any light anyone can shed.

Anyone know whats wrong, here is the error message: Filename: EP2006Jun22-2008(4).txt Warning: file(DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT/var/www/html/store/temp/EP2006Jun22-2008(4).txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/store/admin/easypopulate.php on line 685 Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /var/www/html/store/admin/easypopulate.php on line 690 --------------- I have tried changing DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT to $DOCUMENT_ROOT but then I get error message: Warning: move_uploaded_file($DOCUMENT_ROOT/var/www/html/store/temp/EP2006Jun22-2008(4).txt): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /var/www/html/store/admin/easypopulate_functions.php on line 32 Warning: move_uploaded_file(): Unable to move '/tmp/phphVdmbx' to '$DOCUMENT_ROOT/var/www/html/store/temp/EP2006Jun22-2008(4).txt' in /var/www/html/store/admin/easypopulate_functions.php on line 32 File uploaded.

Having read the contrib and a few posts on this thread, im still unable to find out if this contrib adds extra images for each product? If not anyone know the best contrib for this. Thanks

Still having problems with this contrib. When I DL the contrib there is no SQL file in the package, and I am unable to find it in the readme or anything. DL Version: EP_v2_76c_MS2 I have a thought that this might be my problem as when uploading a file I just get: -------------- File uploaded. Temporary filename: /tmp/phpCeA2CV User filename: EP2006Jun05-1212.txt Size: 385 -------------- I can dl the files ok, but when editing them and just changing something as small as the title then uploading the changes are not implemented. Any help with this appreciated.

Now I'm really stumped :) Will have to try making a fresh install on another subdomain without any contribs installed, can't see that being the problem though seeing as I only have STS installed at this point. Will report back.

Anyone think the problem could be that I'm using a subdomain ie http://subdomain.normaldomain.com/store/ ?

Thanks for the reply, yeah I tried that. Even tried using a different comp with excel installed but still no joy. Am a little stumped.

Thanks for that, spent the last few hours reading posts. I can now edit the files in OpenOffice fine with cols* But for some unknown reason when i download the complete list make a change to the title and then save and upload it doesn't make the changes. Just get the same File uploaded. Temporary filename: /tmp/phpvt85DY User filename: EP2006May15-1503(2).csv Size: 923 File goes like: "v_products_model"|"v_products_image"|"v_products_name_1"|"v_products_description_1"|"v_products_url_1"|"v_products_price"|"v_products_weight"|"v_date_avail"|"v_date_added"|"v_products_quantity"|"v_manufacturers_name"|"v_categories_name_1"|"v_categories_name_2"|"v_categories_name_3"|"v_tax_class_title"|"v_status"|"EOREOR" "ade34"|"654656.jpg"|"product name here blah blah"|"description here blah blah blah"||10.99|170||15/05/2006 13:32:30|5||"Cat1"|"Cat2"||"--none--"|"Inactive"|"EOREOR" Does anything seem wrong with that? pulling me hair out :) Thanks

Still no joy. Could the problem be that I'm using openoffice rather than excel as when I open the downloaded txt file from the site with the products that are already added it just shows it as like a text file (not in cols*) so I can't edit that I have had to make my own with cols* that are easy to edit. (if that makes any sense) Thanks for any help.

Will give it a blast and yet you know if it worked, thanks.

Hi, After using Import catalog's file: I get at the bottom -------- File uploaded. Temporary filename: /tmp/phpf4tI0P User filename: testupload.xls Size: 20480 -------- But no products are added to the catalog. The headers I am using in a .xls file are as follows: v_products_model v_products_name_1 v_products_price v_products_description_1 v_products_weight v_products_image v_products_description_2 v_products_quantity v_categories_name EOREOR Any ideas on what the problem could be? Thanks for anyone who can offer any help. edit: using version Easy Populater 2.90.

Hi, On the older versions of sts you had product_info.php.html and you could add and take away attributes like $productdesc, $imagesmall etc and move them around to place them where they looked best. But on this version you just get the attribute $content. I don't want things like 'This product was added to our catalog on...' etc.. which files need editing to remove things like this? Thanks
