Don't know, but they weren't working in Google Shopping anyway.

Now I just set it to "false", and google is not giving me errors any more, I also added "MPN" for each product, so don't know which one solved google error issue. But I got another issue "broken images" on merchant center, but when I click through the links, all the images are there on my website! it seems that lately google frequently gave me problems even though I didn't change anything on my website.

Are you talking about the additional images when you view the product in merchant center? If so, don't worry about it. None of mine have ever worked. As long as your primary image is there, it's fine.

cant seem to get google recognising my model numbers as upc's is there anyway to solve this? ive altered the settings in the google merchant centre feeder config to show offer as upc and also tried it as ean but still no joy at all.
I was debating attempting to reinstall numinix product fields module for it anymore in the free software add ons search here on the site??

well, I finally hit my first problem with the apparel category - in jewelry for heavens sake. Google thinks that jewelry sellers have gender and age at a minimum as something that's important. So the only to do this right now is to add those attributes to each product but of course they should not be displayed on the product page (Unisex does not sound attractive).

Has anyone figured out how to do this yet? I suspect that I can set display only attributes not to display with some coding but this is no solution for someone who is already using the display (read) only setting for attributes.

Hi
Google requires ie

'<g:shipping_weight>3 kilograms</g:shipping_weight>'

if you use Global shipping rules outlined in there settings.

How can I get the shipping weight into the feed in the format:

'<g:shipping_weight>1.0 pounds</g:shipping_weight>'

right now only getting
'<g:weight>3 kilograms</g:weight>'

I have the same problem as you.

Looks like a boo boo in the code if so. Are you getting error messages because of it at google?

A UPC code must be at least 12 digits in length. Do your model numbers meet that requirement?

I haven't seen the issue with jewelry. But if that is the case, it may be easier to add this:

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=83814

It's only one file. On that one file, you can remove the below code and the attributes will not display on the products page. We've tested it out and the attributes do get included on the feed. Just don't show on the page.

Code:

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr valign="top">
    <td width="50%"><?php echo $left_col; ?></td>
    <td width="50%"><?php echo $right_col; ?></td>
  </tr>
</table>

Our first goal was to get the attributes listed in columns. But since we didn't have "variations", we didn't need the attributes to show on the page. So I removed the tables and it works fine.
