Fabie Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I am interested in a simple step by step installation process for easy populate. I have uploaded and installed, however, I am stuck with a couple of bugs. I have reviewed the documentation, however, I find it quite ambiguous. What are it's basic functions? I am looking for a module that will download and upload product information, mainly the the product images. Is this the correct module, or is their something simpler &/or easier? Looking forward to your responses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 EP is basically an easier way to load your products to your store. if you are having problems getting it to work, perhaps you did not create the 'temp' folder in 'catalog' with permissions of '777'. what did you find ambiguos? i opened the word file, followed it one step at a time, and then tried it. it worked. i then proceeded to add my additional fields to ep, and they successfully uploaded/downloaded. only thing left for me is figuring out how to add additional attributes.

CentralMass Posted March 3, 2004 Share Posted March 3, 2004 I am getting an error when I upload the txt file.... See this post I download the complete file, then immediatly try to upload it.

Fabie Posted March 7, 2004 Author Share Posted March 7, 2004 I receive the following error: 1054 - Unknown column 'p.products_master' in 'field list' SELECT p.products_id as v_products_id, p.products_model as v_products_model, p.products_image as v_products_image, p.products_price as v_products_price, p.products_weight as v_products_weight, p.products_master as v_products_master, p.products_master_status as v_products_master_status, p.products_listing_status as v_products_listing_status, p.products_date_available as v_date_avail, p.products_date_added as v_date_added, p.products_tax_class_id as v_tax_class_id, p.products_quantity as v_products_quantity, p.manufacturers_id as v_manufacturers_id, subc.categories_id as v_categories_id, p.products_status as v_status FROM products as p, categories as subc, products_to_categories as ptoc WHERE p.products_id = ptoc.products_id AND ptoc.categories_id = subc.categories_id [TEP STOP] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notset4life Posted March 20, 2004 Share Posted March 20, 2004 me too. can anyone help? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitter-girl.com Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 (edited) I hate to say it, but I'm getting the exact error as notset4life and Fabie. I do have a directory at catalog/temp with permissions set to 777. I did download one of the files listed under 'Download EP and Froogle Files' (in this case the Model/Price/Qty and Model/Category tab-delimited .txt files; I used the latter. It would not allow me to download the 'Complete' or 'Froogle' tab-delimited .txt files, it gave a 1054 - Unknown column 'p.products_master' in 'field list' error if I tried). After the file was downloaded and opened in MS Excel, I added model numbers to the v_products_model field -- a series going down the column as 1, 2, 3, etc...) and saved the file. Then I uploaded it via the Admin panel interface - "choose file", then "insert into db". This is the error I then got: Easy Populate 2.72-MS2 - Default Language : English(1) File uploaded. Temporary filename: /tmp/php7cD9Kq User filename: first-import.txt Size: 4053 1054 - Unknown column 'p.products_master' in 'field list' SELECT p.products_id as v_products_id, p.products_model as v_products_model, p.products_image as v_products_image, p.products_price as v_products_price, p.products_weight as v_products_weight, p.products_master as v_products_master, p.products_master_status as v_products_master_status, p.products_listing_status as v_products_listing_status, p.products_date_added as v_date_avail, p.products_tax_class_id as v_tax_class_id, p.products_quantity as v_products_quantity, p.manufacturers_id as v_manufacturers_id, subc.categories_id as v_categories_id FROM products as p, categories as subc, products_to_categories as ptoc WHERE p.products_id = ptoc.products_id AND p.products_model = '1' AND ptoc.categories_id = subc.categories_id Since I am running MSExcel on Mac OS X, I thought the file might have Mac endings on the lines. Opened it in BBEdit, and it did, so I changed them to UNIX and reuploaded the file / reimported into the db. Same problem. I'm stumped... (and I was SO careful about following the directions!) :o Edited March 21, 2004 by bitter-girl.com Quote Shannon Okey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
licensed2kill Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 Shannon, I'm no expert, but try to change the variable which gives the problem in easypopulate.php. Just an idea. Btw, I want to know what the point to your website? :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitter-girl.com Posted March 21, 2004 Share Posted March 21, 2004 And what variable would that be? (Which website are you talking about, btw? I have several. The one I'm running osC on is going to be an online boutique...) Quote Shannon Okey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charleyshipman Posted March 22, 2004 Share Posted March 22, 2004 Central Mass, Your problem seems to be ...catalog/catalog/temp. Try changing the two lines that have catalog/temp/ in easypopulate.php to just temp/. I think that's what I had to do. There is an earlier thread that explains this. notset4life, Fabie, bitter-girl, Are you using the version of Easypopulate that expects the "master products" contribution to be installed when it isn't? This is also addressed in an earlier thread. HTH Charley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekg22 Posted March 27, 2004 Share Posted March 27, 2004 All you have to do is remove any lines that have the following text on them: products_master products_master_status products_listing_status There are a few SQL queries where these are referenced, and you have to make sure you get rid of all of them. be sure to get the lines in the UPDATE statement that are like this: '$v_products_master', I did this and it worked for me. Let me know if you need more explanation. -dg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted March 28, 2004 Share Posted March 28, 2004 brando, if you edited the file, you could have space at the end of the file (blank spaces, etc) so go to the end and after the ?> hit the delete key a few times and save it. for the word docs file on ep, it is in the docs folder.
