Do what I told you to do.

put a product in a category, use EP to download it. then you knoe you have the right format - upload the same thing, make sure that ep uploaded it right... now you know EP works... then add another products,,, do another upload... verify that it added the new product to the same category... do another product in a new category in the spreadsheet... upload the spreadsheet, verify the new cat was created, verify the new product was added...

This is all really basic stuff...

It sounds like you have not read the docs on how to use Easypopulate, as you are not understanding the basics.

Read the docs here

Follow the instructions in the docs, and it will work for you.

Yes, I created the category, then added the inventory files to the excel, exported to a tab delimeter file, then uploaded it.

Why did the shopping cart import the file?

What is product _mode1?

Thanks

I am reading the docs and I do not understand this?

If you have made database changes to the products, products_description,
or other product or category related tables, you may have some
issues running the stock EasyPopulate.

EasyPopulate requires the use of the product_model field (model number).
It won't work without the model number. The model numbers you assign
must be unique, i.e. you can't give all your products a product_model of "test".


Should this be the name of the table of the inventory item name?

Why just not give me example that works and I learn from that?

Irrelevant. Ignore it.

EasyPopulate requires the use of the product_model field (model number).

Exactly what it says. Each product must have its own unique model number.

Why just not give me example that works and I learn from that?

metoo gave you an example and you didn't understand it. So I pointed you to the docs.

You can make your own example. Create a test category and a test product in your store using the admin panel.

Then go to easypopulate and export it. There is your working example.

Yes, can you please tell me whats wrong with the example I posted here?

Thanks

I attached a working csv file. It is no different than one that you could generate too.

Just follow the format, filling in your product details. Per the easypopulate docs, do not change the format of the file. All columns must remain.

You cannot add empty categories with easypopulate.

[ptaylor2008]

I did everything you told me. Why can you jut take a look at the example I posted above and tell me whats wrong with it and I make the proper changes?

Yes, the category Home Decore exist.

What is wrong with your example is that it is missing the EOREOR at the end of the line.

Follow the instructions in the docs, follow the example csv file I sent you.

[ptaylor2008]

I clicked on browse file then click on the tab delimater file and I got this

Easy Populate 2.76-osCMax2 - Default Language : English(1)


File uploaded.
Temporary filename: /tmp/php6t3Vx6
User filename: TESTIMPORT.txt

| | | | | | | | | | | | No products_model field in record. This line was not imported



THen I did this
