The e-commerce.

easypopulate help!

Recommended Posts

I have tried for hours to get this to work... nothing!

 

I used the "split files" to break down a large inventory excel file and nothing happens, I get no files created...

 

I have searched the forums and none of the posts really help.

 

Is there any easier to understand instructions?

 

I think I am doing it right but it's not working, I know it's got to be something simple.

 

Thanks,

Gary

try this create a directory in your catalog called easypopulate and set the permissions to CHMOD 777 all rights to all things.

 

Next change these two lines in easypopulate.php to this

 

$tempdir = "/easypopulate/";
$tempdir2 = "/easypopulate/";

Nothing...

 

I uploaded the file to my directory and then attempted to split... nothing!

 

I also tried the "Import from Temp Dir (catalog/easypopulate/)" then inserted into DB....nothing.

 

Are there any idiot proof step by step instructions anywhere?

 

 

Is it the list?

It has over 20K items.

lets start at the beginning is your site located in the root or in a directory called catalog

It's in "store"...

I figured that out and put the temp dir in the "store" file and gave it 777, I then uploaded the .xls file to the temp dir and tried inserting into db... too big right?

So I tried splitting with the EZ program and nothing happened...

 

I am I wrong here so far?

ok so you have the temp directory in store and what do you have in easypopulate.php for $tempdir

 

have you saved the file as a tab deliminated file with extension .txt

I give up, this is pathetic... I will try another script.

 

I have never had so much trouble as this... I have hacked through everything from UBB to PHPadmin and never encountered this kind of headache.

 

Install instructions are almost idiotic... They don't tell you "exactly" ... ANYTHING!

 

ahhhhhh... now that that's outta the way...

Anyone wanna help out a crazed lunatic with this?

 

LOL!!!!
