wasson65 Posted January 18, 2003 Author Share Posted January 18, 2003 I will persevere and get that file to you ASAP if the offer is still open. again sorry for not getting back to you earlier. First, I'd upgrade my ep to the latest and greatest: 2.41beta7. There have been quite a few bug fixes in the mean time. So you're saying that if you edit an item in the admin section and then dl with EP, the file doesn't change? Odd.... Tim Ok Tim thanks for that to save you worry I had misread what you wrote above and have done some more tests today. When I woke up this morning I edited an item and the changes showed in the next EP text file download. But still the new categories and sub categories do not show up. So I added a kit to one of these categories that do not show and yippee the category and the subcategory appeared. I then noticed that a category that has two sub categories in it BUT also some products in the root category does not show the empty subcategories but displays the products. So my conclusion is that an export via EP does not include any empty categories or indeed subcategories. I am sure I am not the frist one to realsie this and you will now tell me that I should RTFM a bit better next time............if not is there any way of changing it so empty categories and sub categories are also exported/downloaded so that an empty text file with categories can be filled up in excel etc. Thanks in advance You are correct, EP only downloads products, and if there's no product in a category, it doesn't exist as far as EP is concerned. I've never thought of it in that way, I've always been more product centric in my head... 8-) I've thought about having a separate download of just the category information, but haven't gotten there yet. I need a whole lot of those "round-to-its", and then I'd get this stuff really slicked up! Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just loads of work filling it up with dummy data just so you can download it and then fill it up with the real data. The biggest problem is until you download the file and see how EP lays it all out you dont really understand it! A lot of the contribs assume too much knowlege and OS itself is harder than it looks........I am starting to wish I had never taken the project on as its taken over my life and its only a favour. :x BTW any chance you can get EP to see empty fields and download them with thefile?? Also what would happen if you tried to populate a field with a different category than was already in place??

loxly Posted January 18, 2003 Share Posted January 18, 2003 BTW any chance you can get EP to see empty fields and download them with thefile?? Also what would happen if you tried to populate a field with a different category than was already in place?? Thanks for your reply Tim All you reakky have to do is enter one product to see how EP lays it all out. And if you change the category to a different one without changing the product number it over writes the current category with the new one. But it doesn't erase the category that was originally there. You can create all the categories and subcategories you want, right in the spreadsheet. I can email you a sample sheet if you want to see how it works and still don't understand.

I do think I sort of understand it quite well BUT my problem comes from trying to make it easy for my mate and in the future. MRtt was gonna try and help I believe so I was trying to get all the categories I needed in place before I sent that file and I have been ill so am getting behind now. What I am trying to come up with is a simple front end to EP with a number of boxes so a non computer literate user can input data without seeing the sheet behind it. SO as I say it was because I was trying to see how many boxes I needed before I tried to populate it! It just did not make sense to a new users why the category fileds aer ingored if they are empty they might well need populating and as I said to tim what happens if I try to populate a category already named with a different name etc. Thanks for your reply!

wasson65 Posted February 4, 2003 Author Share Posted February 4, 2003 As a programmer, I see that there's often an inverse relationship between how much effort it is to program something, and how much effort it is to use. In other words, to write something that 10% of the people would think is easy, is very easy. To write something that 90% of the people would think is very easy, is very hard. My hat's off to you for all the work you're doing for your friend! If this works, I'd be happy to include it in the contrib. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chriscknapp Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 Thank you very much! That did it... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> ...but! I downloaded the file and then went and re-uploaded the file without making changes. It deleted my inventory(new store-2 items...no biggie)! But it said it updated OK... My first thought is a problem with description and tabs....will check, but someone could chime in if they have any thoughts. --------------------------------------------------------- Filename: EP2005Aug25-2210.txt | C68 | c68.jpg | Duck Hoode | 12-ounce, | | Duck Hoode | | | Duck Hoode | | | 105.93 | 0.00 | | 2005-08-25 | 0 | 1 | Color | Farbe | Color | 16 | Carhartt B | | | +0.0000 | 17 | Dark Brown | | | +0.0000 | 18 | Dark Green | | | +0.0000 | 19 | Dark Red | | | +0.0000 | 22 | MED - REG | | | | 23 | LRG - REG | | | | 24 | LRG - TLL | | | | 25 | XL - REG | | | | 26 | XL - TLL | | | | 27 | 2XL - REG | | | | 28 | 2XL - TLL | | | | 29 | 3XL - REG | | | | 30 | 3XL - TLL | | | | 31 | 4XL - REG | | | | 32 | red | | | | 2 | Size | Gr??e | Talla | 20 | Tall | | | | 21 | SML - REG | | | +0.0000 | 3 | Model | Modell | Modelo | 5 | Version | Version | Version | Carhartt | Outerwear | Coats | | Taxable Go | Active Updated | C03 | C03.jpg | Duck Tradi | li>12-ounc | | Duck Tradi | | | Duck Tradi | | | 95.23 | 0.00 | | 2005-08-25 | 0 | 1 | Color | Farbe | Color | 16 | Carhartt B | | | +0.0000 | 17 | Dark Brown | | | +0.0000 | 18 | Dark Green | | | +0.0000 | 19 | Dark Red | | | +0.0000 | 22 | MED - REG | | | | 23 | LRG - REG | | | | 24 | LRG - TLL | | | | 25 | XL - REG | | | | 26 | XL - TLL | | | | 27 | 2XL - REG | | | | 28 | 2XL - TLL | | | | 29 | 3XL - REG | | | | 30 | 3XL - TLL | | | | 31 | 4XL - REG | | | | 32 | red | | | | 2 | Size | Gr??e | Talla | 20 | Tall | | | | 21 | SML - REG | | | | 3 | Model | Modell | Modelo | 5 | Version | Version | Version | | Outerwear | Coats | | Taxable Go | Active Updated | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | No products_model field in record.
