mattyb Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 So has anyone ever updated just the model numbers before. Our POS system for our retail store crashed and all of the item numbers got messed up. I'm just looking to update the model number in osC. Is there a way to do it? After thinking about this for a while it doesn't seem like it's possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choosealogin Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 2.74? Okay, will try that tonight. Any other advice would be welcome? Yes, 2.74 dated 26 July 2005. The other versions inbetween looked like they had modifications that I didn't need. Your needs may be different. Try it and let me know.

Guest Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 I've got a problem which I think is pritty comon as I've found a few thread about it but none that explain the solution to well. I cant update the manufacturers URL through admin. I think it has something to do with how easy populate enters info into the database. How can I manualy enter the manufacturers URL's through phpmyadmin or somehow sort it so I can enter them through admin. I was sorting out some internal manufacturer info pages and this took me totally by supprise. I would love to get this sorted today so I can tick it off the list.

Guest Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 I sorted the above. The problem was that easy populate doesnt create any entery in the manufacturer_info table in the database. With no manufacturer ID in there you cant link a URL to the manufacturer. I couldnt work out how to fix it with phpmyadmin as I know diddly about mysql. But I managed to fix it using the database managment contribution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With no manufacturer ID in there you cant link a URL to the manufacturer. EP only fills in the regular fields on the product input page in admin. The manufacturer url isn't there either. How can I manualy enter the manufacturers URL's through phpmyadmin or somehow sort it so I can enter them through admin. When you go to the admin panel --> catalog --> manufacturers ...you can fill the url in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The manufacturer url isn't there either.When you go to the admin panel --> catalog --> manufacturers ...you can fill the url in there. As EP hadnt added anything to the manufacturer_info table in the database you cant add a URL through admin as the URL field isnt linked to manufacturer id. To fix it you have to manually edit the database using phpmyadmin or the database managment contribution. Further explanation in last post on previous page.

selmaboyd Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 Hello, I am trying to install EP version 2.76. I don't see any .sql files in the download. I also don't see anything in the instructions about downloading one, however, there was another .sql file in earlier versions and later versions. (I've tried a few and was unsuccessful so I'm hoping to have better luck with this version) My question is, am I going to need an sql file in order to install this successfuly? thank you, selma Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I've tried a few and was unsuccessful so I'm hoping to have better luck with this version) My question is, am I going to need an sql file in order to install this successfuly? thank you, selma Even though I didn't get a reply to my post, I found out on my own that there is no sql file needed for this version. So far so good. This is a note to anyone trying to install the EP contribution, well, this version at least. You MUST read the ENTIRE EasyPopulate.php file. There are really some things you can miss if you don't. I used the text editor in Dreamweaver 8 because it put codes and comments in different colors so it was easier for me to read. Also, be sure to read every documentation that comes with the download file. Good luck to all, Lets try to make the best of the upcoming Mother's Day shopping season and 4th of july. Also, don't neglect your early christmas shoppers who like to start buying christmas gifts in july.. . I will be posting an emarketing forum on here for fellow members so we can share marketing tips.... Best to all...good night! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selmaboyd Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 Hello Can someone please please help! I am using EP 2.76 with both the easypopulate.php and when I enable the easypopulate_functions.php I seem to realise that the function tep_get_uploaded_file ('$usrfl') is what is giving problems because from what I am seeing after searching the entire file the 'usrfl' is not defined anywhere, not even in the /admin/includes/configure.php file. Any help with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
choosealogin Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 I had a similar error when I had these lines commented out (in easypopulate.php) // If you are running a pre-Nov1-2002 snapshot of OSC, then we need this include line to avoid // errors like: // undefined function tep_get_uploaded_file if (!function_exists(tep_get_uploaded_file)){ include ('easypopulate_functions.php'); } I had assumed that I didn't need the function, but when I uncommented those lines it fixed it. You have easypopulate.php and easypopulate_functions.php both in the admin folder? One version I tried had the functions file in the admin/includes/functions, but I think 2.76 puts it just in admin.

Hi, Thank you so much for your response. I have tried what you said to put easypopulate_functions.php in the functions folder and I still get the same error: Call to undefined function: tep_get_uploaded_file() in /home/u5/selmaboyd1/html/admin/easypopulate.php on line 692 What version of EP are you using? Maybe I can have better luck with that one. Also, I have this software called "Compare and Merge" which higlights differences in documents for you and my EP file doesn't look any different from anyone elses who said they have a working EP file, so perhaps there is a file that I am missing that goes along. Any input? thank you once again, I sometimes don't have much luck with people answering my posts on this forum so I really appreciate this.

choosealogin Posted May 2, 2006 Share Posted May 2, 2006 (edited) I'm sorry, my message was confusing. I meant to tell you to make sure easypopulate_functions.php was NOT in the functions folder. Since you can't find any differences / problems with your EP file, I would just double check the instructions for the version you're using. Compare them to the EP manual. I found some discrepancies between the readme and the manual in some of my attempted EP installs. Then if you switch versions, make sure to compare the instructions in case there's more to "undo" before going forward. I'm using 2.74, dated 26 July 05. Functionally, it was fine for me from the 1st try. I got rid of all signs of old EP installs, installed 2.74, made sure it worked :o , then added the 6 subimages for Mopics. It still worked (surprise!). I had a problem with it uploading my "date added" as blank. So under the product it would say "this product was added to our catalog on." and that's it. I don't know what the proper fix for that issue is, but my hack worked. You may have different results, so I won't throw in any more confusing instructions here :blink: . But the most important thing for me was that it worked with no errors. Edited May 2, 2006 by choosealogin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is why I think maybe the problem is that I am not setting up the configure file correctly because trust me I have read all the threads in here and I have read every documentation that has come with this version as well as others. Can you tell from my admin/includes/configure.php file where I went wrong?

I just tried /boydlands.com/html/ and got errors I have to read a php manual and probably just try to rewrite the script to suit me cause I can't figure out the missing loop here.
