ukracer Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 ... I installed it very quickly . can you confirm that if I have already got sub categories and I just download the test file and add to it that I need to do nothing else in regard to sub categories? Hmm, a few years ago I did a big excel spreadsheet that would build an XML document and submit it to a webserver which updated a database. The user never saw a web page, just the excel macro. We've got the makings of that here... Imagine working with your web store data completely in excel, never hitting the web with a browser, no downloading uploading, saving files. What if it could be as simple as: 1. fire up an excel sheet, 2. Click "Get my data", and it appears. 3. Edit at will. 4. Click "Upload changed data". Done You mean it can't :) THis is what I am aiming for the biggest problem is I know very little in excel. I usually have some good ideas! My mate has programmed a few that I initiated but sadly my skills rarely overlap to generating code and his do not extend to exel. Perhaps there is a nice excel user in amongst us that could give me some directions and pointers as to what I would need to do.? It would be nice and sensible to hide the nitty gritty from a non computer user who can just fill in a form. I await the masses of replies I will get on this subject........ 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 10, 2003 Share Posted January 10, 2003 Tim, this is a great contrib. Thanks for the hard work. I've been having a bit of a problem and can't seem to find the answer here in the BB. Here's the error I'm getting: Fatal error: Cannot redeclare tep_get_tax_class_title() (previously declared in /home2/forks/forksdrumcloset-www/catalog/admin/includes/functions/general.php:1135) in /home2/forks/forksdrumcloset-www/catalog/admin/easypopulate_functions.php on line 34 Any idea's.

I'm using a snapshot from may. OK, look in the file easypopulate_functions.php and comment out the function named tep_get_tax_class_title(); I had copied the function in there because it was missing from a very old snapshot. That functions file only gets included if the tep_get_uploaded_file function is missing, which would be the case in a snapshot from May. But apparently the tep_get_tax_class_title function had made it into general.php by then. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"'"); // $classes = tep_db_fetch_array($classes_query); return $classes['tax_class_title']; } } Sorry, I didn't say what I meant very specifically. In PHP, a function starts with a curly brace and ends with the opposite curly brace. Other statements also use the curly braces, like if's and for's. These curly braces must always appear in matchng pairs - one open, one closed. What your edit did was remove the first portion of the function, but not the last part. The function actually continues thru to the second closing curly brace. So your code needs to look like this: // function tep_get_tax_class_title($tax_class_id) { // if ($tax_class_id == '0') { // return TEXT_NONE; // } else { // $classes_query = tep_db_query("select tax_class_title from " .

Christian OK, I think you are confused about the difference between a path you put into a browser to get to a page, and the filesystem path on the disk of the server. They are not the same. If your filesystem path on the disk to the directory you have told Apache to use as it's document root is D:ApacheApachehtdocs Then DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT needs to be set to that. You would never set DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT to localhost. Now, to access the pages stored in D:ApacheApachehtdocs in your broswer, you would put in http://localhost/whatever.php But once you upload to the shared server, your DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT is no longer D:Apache... What you've got is basic OSC configuration problems, not EP problems. To test your config, you can try using the Admin->Tools->FileManager part of OSC. I will lay you odds that doesn't work either at this point. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasson65 Posted January 14, 2003 Author Share Posted January 14, 2003 Warning: Unable to create 'localhost/catalog/temp/EP1042537160.txt': No such file or directory in /homepages/35/d17789206/htdocs/test/test/ admin/includes/functions/general.php on line 789 You need to understand what the error message is telling you. It says it can't create a file, and tells you the *path* of the file and the line number in the file where the error occured. Try this. FTP to your shared server. In the htdocs directory, do a pwd. See what the path is. That's going to be the path that DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT needs to be set to. Now I can also guarantee that you haven't actually done a chmod 777 on http://whatever/catalog/temp, because to do that you would need to ftp in and do a cd to http://whatever/catalog/temp, and at that point you're going to get an error because there is no directory on the servers filesystem that start with http:// I do however believe that you did do a chmod 777 on /homepages/35/d17789206/htdocs/test/test/catalog/temp See, where you point your browser is not the same as what the server has for a directory structure on it's disk.

sidcologne Posted January 14, 2003 Share Posted January 14, 2003 Hello Tim, thanks again for your posts. Now I got it. :D The problem was exactly what you described in your last sentence. I have to know the local file path on the webserver. That might be clear for all other users and for me now it is also, but I didnt got it exactly from the documentation. Maybe its because I got confused about other stuff (googlebot and SID-Killer) earlier. Luckily the server gave me a hint in the error-message. I had to define 'homepages/35/d17789206/htdocs' as DIR_FS_DOCUMENT_ROOT. Thanks again for your quick and helpful advice!!

Welcome to OSc - it's really kinda fun once you get used to it... 8-) Tim[/quote'] I am having a spot of bother getting the file created by EP to show on the server while using FTP. I know that it does in fact create these files in the catalog/temp folder because it I select the option in admin to create the text files and then choose to delete the folder I see the text files being deleted in the log screen of wsftp. I also can see the files if I use the file manager in the admin of oscommerce. I can also select the download option and it does in fact download a file...different name everytime but it does not reflect and changes I have made in the admin manually.......so I seem to have two problems and I am not sure if they are connected or just coincidence!! Yes Tim I am using a windows machine :roll: any suggestions appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Ok I have now solved the missing files.......they were there as I said but did not display after creation even with refresh...after deleting the temp folder AGAIN and then using your beta 7 script they do display after a refresh. so thats solved but the store does not look like the file that is created..........I can sent the text file if you have got time to check it out and give you the URL of the store so you can see what is really there. There is not that much really as I am only just making sure everything works before trying to upload several hundred items later. You say you have never had this before or had it reported even??

loxly Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 2003 Tim, You are working so hard and making my life so much easier, I hate to bother you BUT..... :lol: I thought the header fields would download with the file export from my database if I uncommented them in the ep.php? Could i have missed something? I didn't get them when I did my first download after having the mod active. Also, I thought I read somewhere in all the ep threads that it supported MoPics? Was I hallucinating? Could be ya know, it's all running together...... I saw the explanation of how to add an extra field, but I would screw it up, any chance that I could use the separate prices fields? MoPics allows 6 photos, but I would be happy with 2 per product, 3 would be awesome but I could live without it for now.

ukracer Posted January 17, 2003 Share Posted January 17, 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
