stevenrwoolley Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 I installed EP and had no problems during the install. I downloaded the text file and edited the file in excel to update my model numbers because I left several of them out when I added the products in the first place. I then went to EP on the admin section of the site and uploaded the text file and inserted it into the db. I even tried to insert it from the temp dir and I can not see any changes to the site and I am not getting any errors. I know it is hard to see the model number but when I look at the product in the admin section I noticed that the model number is still not their. Does anyone see what I might be doing wrong, or is EP only set up to upload new products and not help edit existing products. I have read the EP manual and tried everything in the troubleshooting section and tried to search the forum but it has not seemed to help. Any suggestions would be grateful.

Guest Posted November 26, 2005 Share Posted November 26, 2005 if the product was existing on the site and then you added model #'s it should have created a new product. better off to just copy the products without model #'s to a sep sheet and upload, see what is going on from there. start with one product.

I just finished trying one product and I even made sure I had a unique model number. I also allowed For use with Linda's Header Controller v 2.0 contrib even through the contrib did not say linda's and turned off the "zero qty products are made inactive automatically" Everything looks like it uploads and a file is created in the temp folder, but no change to the site. Do I need to Run something on the database or could I be missing a step. I have been following the directions, but I must be missing something...

My problem was that I needed to change the "tabs" to ";", but now I have two of every part, the old parts with no product number and the new ones. owell at least it is working thanks for the help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have the same problem as described. I did not test with one new product but I updated the VAT for the exisiting demo items. In an earlier attempt to install EP this actually worked. Same as with the original poster: the file is created just fine and downloaded onto my PC. I manipulate the file and save it with the original filename (EP_2005 etc. .txt) Then when I upload the file I see that it uploads (it's created in the temp dir) but nothing happens and there are no error messages displayed. This occurs both on osC 2.2MS and osC 2.2 MS2 Update 051113. In both cases I have used EP 2.76 MS2 (posted by Mibble). temp dir is in place and chmodded to 777. configure.php is set to $DOCUMENT_ROOT. I have not updated the $tempdir and $tempdir2 in my easypopulate.php so they're still set to /catalog/temp/ (full path is /opt/lampp/htdocs/catalog/temp/) Does anyone have any ideas?

I recently uploaded via EP with model numbers and I have found that all my products are now in categories they dont belong in. I am wondering how it did this?

I am wondering how it did this? I would look at the file you just uploaded and make sure that you did not past the wrong categories. I found that I space the cells out in excell to make it easy to read and I upload one product first, check the result and then do the rest. I also found that I make less mistakes by uploading one category at a time and that way it does not impact my site when I do make a mistake.

I fixed it using phpmyadmin and cleaned out the tables...that fixed it. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
