Help me for import data

[Di Iorio]

Hi to the whole community. I installed my PrestaShop, bought a template, installed the theme, but ut I can't import the sample files. When I go to Import data Install https://gyazo.com/fc23c0cef8c56fb48bb4c389cc2b238b it all seems blocked. The button: Browse Local Files is not accessible, you do not click, it doesn't even work drag it. What is happening? Can you help me?

Thanks Crizzur, but the problem seems to be by PrestaShop, not the template

I have the same problem. The import data functionality does not work.

Check that debug mode is not active

Thanks for the reply. I have a clean install of the latest version of prestashop. Debug mode is not active. When I go to:

JX Modules > Sample Data Install > Import Data

and click "Browse local files", nothing happens. and when dropping the file on the page, the file just downloads to the browser.

Have you guys tried to upload the data over phpmyadmin?

Or you might have not a high enough php.ini amount?

As far as I know there are multiple ways to import sample data and all methods utilize this page:

JX Modules > Sample Data Install > Import Data

The first option is to use the upload functionality on this page. The second is to ftp your files to your server manually, but then you still need to go to the same page and there should be an "install already updated data" option. Neither of these options works so not sure how to import sample data.

I bought a prestashop template and after installation it looks nothing like the demo so I'm really hoping I can figure out a way to get the sample data for this template installed.

If anyone knows any other options, I would be very grateful.

Thanks for the suggestion about the phpmyadmin tool, I found the instructions so I'll give it a try.

The fact that a simple task like importing sample data doesn't work doesn't give me much confidence in using prestashop.

If you need to blame someone than blame JX Modules developer. Your not working upload could have been caused by insufficient upload data amounts, set by your server. or have other reasons unrelated to prestashop or its modules.

if you look for stability and reliability go with PS 1.6.1.24

Contact the seller, open a ticket, it's a problem linked to the template. They gave me a non-exhaustive explanation. They told me that I had to deactivate or uninstall the Welcome module and that I had active debugging, but in a second installation I verified not to be these problems. Now I wait for some technician to access my backend to solve the problem

I gave up on the original theme and found another one, and it looks like the sample data got installed during the theme installation. Not sure why the other one didn't work the same way.
