Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[mydanilo]

Yep, exactly. Do as numinix said and no more editing.

Numinix, I was wondering if it is possible to tweak the mod to export a feed with lowest price instead of the base price. I have a shop with lots of qty discounts set and I display "As low as" pricing. My competitors upload feeds with lowest price to google base and I look pretty bad with my highest price listed. Any easy solution to this?

[numinix]

Find $price in the main root file and you can change how it is given its value.

[mydanilo]

OK, so I will try and replace it with:
zen_get_products_discount_price_qty

I will test and then post.

[mydanilo]

I tried to replace

                            $price = zen_get_products_actual_price($products->fields['products_id']); 

with:

$price = zen_get_products_discount_price_qty($products->fields['products_id']); 

I guess this would have been too easy. I do not know enough about PHP to be able to come up with the right solution. Could somebody give me a hand?

Good Morning everyone.

I ran this excellent mod (1.6.11) with zen cart (1.3.7) yesterday and ran into a problem. Although it creates, displays and apparently uploads the feed it does not appear in Google Base (either in the public area or in my account). I assume I have got a configuration setting wrong and would really appreciate some advice.

After uploading, the mod reports the following:-

Google Base Feeder v.1.6.11 03.27.2008 00:05:59 started 2008/05/21 11:41:46
Feed file - /var/www/html//feed/domain_products.xml

Upload ok!

Viewing the Google Base FTP content (last option on the /admin/Tools/Google Base Feeder page gives

Google Base FTP content:Connected to: uploads.google.com/total 0

Many thanks in anticipation of help

You might just give it 12- 24h and see what shows up in your google account. Did you check there yet? Google Base is kind of slow...

I believe he was just telling you to put http://www.ecmauto.com for the setting STORE ADDRESS located in ADMIN->CONFIGURATION->GOOGLE BASE FEEDER CONFIGURATION.

Numinix,
I greatly appreciate all your input,But that is what I did,I put"https://ecmauto.com/" in front of all link's. And was able to successfully upload the file manually.
Question is why doesn't the mod do that ? and
Why do I get the 1064 syntax error ?
I have since uninstalled the mod to keep my site working.
I would love to get your mod working as it would save me having to learn how to create a file.

Thank again,jim
