Damn Google took down my feed. I upgraded just so I can use this version.

Ok looking at this... The Country Section in Configuration is not allowing me to input anything.
Is this a required field? If so what can I do?

[milobloom]

There seems to be some XML error.

I am only getting about 1/8th of my products.

What can I do to fix? I turned the sanitation on but it did not go away.

[milobloom]

For some reason. Now I can only generate a file at 500 products at a time.
I have it set to no limits. Am I doing something wrong?

[milobloom]

Ok. Sorry I keep replying...


This is what I found out
My server company said when I try to run the feed it is spiking the CPU usage on the server
and then the server throttles back the allowance. Then my file cuts off.

What should I do other then find a new host?

You haven't said which version of Zen Cart and the Google add-on you are working with. If you are using Zen Cart v1.5 and v1.13 of this mod, you should post in the support thread for v1.13..

Oh ok I am running 1.50 with 1.13 I will go post in that thread.

Thanks

Another gentle reminder..

Probably time to post this since a few v1.5 questions have cropped up on this support thread in the last week or two..

Just as a gentle reminder, THIS support thread is for Google Base (Froogle) Feeder - Versions: 1.12.0 - 1.12.5

If you are using Zen Cart v1.5 you should be using Google Merchant Center Feeder - Version: 1.13.0. There is a different support thread for that version here: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=1115710

Carry on all..

1.12.5 on Zen 1.3.9h with SSU

My feed file now produces incorrect url's with /language/en/ in it.
Example: http://www.1234.com/language/en/pear...n?currency=USD
Should be http://www.1234.com/pear-candles/pear-candle-brown

Does anybody have the same problem or suggestion how to solve it?
