Easy Populate

[Don R. Soucy]

Indeed there is and like most other things, the answer takes discovery.
I think that the existence of these forums helps to shorten that time,
while also increasing the goodwill of the community.
I am confident that one day I will help someone else.
Please take a moment to consider my need,
I need to know the Database table name and fields in that table
that corresponds to the easy populate V3.3 output named "v_attributes_values_price_1_1".
That's the whole post.
Please tell me where in the CE Phoenix v1.0.8.9 database the above field gets its content from.
I need to be able to edit that piece of data.
Thanks
Don

Dan, you could also use the backup database feature in Phoenix, download and open that file in a text editor and look at the structure yourself.

The big problem with easy populate is it fails to export all the data, particularly the `products_attributes_filename` field in the `products_attributes_download` table.
It does not appear anywhere in any of the outputs, basic, complete, attributes etc.
has it simply been overlooked?

The latest 3.4 version of easy populate does a better job of exporting and importing but without that piece of data it is useless for a store that sells downloads.

What does "Complete" really mean?
your guess is as good as mine.

The 'filename' data was also missing from 3.3 and I drove myself nuts trying to figure what was going on.
Finally determined last night for a store selling download-ables Easy Populate was not the answer for data management.

Re: "filename" not handled.
Yep it IS dealt with in the documentation.

It is one line of text in a large paragraph.
found in the Html file "contents.htm"
in the easypopulate/admin/ path

"EP does not handle "download" attributes."

Well that proves the old saw about reading the manual before testing your parachute.

At least I discovered why I couldn't get to the results I expected.
Zipurman's Data Wizard is my next line of discovery.
I hope he understands "complete".

Let this be a cautionary tale for any and all who try to use it for the purposes of managing a store that sell download-ables.

DON'T BOTHER!
