Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[buildingblocks]

I installed version 1.12.0. What I'm noticing so far is

1. - the feed output file is showing duplicate google_product_category for each product

<g:google_product_category><![CDATA[Media &gt; Music]]></g:google_product_category>
<g:google_product_category><![CDATA[Media &gt; Music]]></g:google_product_category>

2. - Configuration no longer has, Include Zero Quantity - Is it showing for anyone else?

3. - Configuration still has the Shipping Country drop down list error. This fix works.

The feed is uploading to google without problem.

I'm getting some odd duplications in my data as well. For example anything with an ampersand or special character, like greater than has mysteriously added characters.

For example:

<g:google_product_category>Home &amp;amp; Garden &amp;gt; Kitchen &amp;amp; Dining &amp;gt; Barware</g:google_product_category>

Notice all the extra

amp;

? So I get XML formatting errors from Google. It's taking forever to manually clean each generated file and I get no errors when running debug.

Any ideas?

This was a fresh install of 1.10.2

Hi, im having problems getting our feed to work, getting the following error:

Encoding problem in attribute: description (12684 errors)

Some of the characters in your items seem to be invalid. Please verify that all the characters in your feed are valid for your selected encoding.

We run a UK shop if that makes any difference which ran the Numinix Google Base Feeder absolutely brilliantly up until Google made the changes and now nothing works.

The Guys at Numinix have installed the latest version release but just seems to be a problem getting my data into Google.

Just wanted to confirm that I need to update my files and DB to UTF-8 >?

Any advice would be most grateful

Cheers
Chris

I just went through checkout on my site and there were no errors.

After having installed the latest Google Base Feeder I am getting the "No Picture Available" error when adding new products to the shop (not to Google Feed). I can't figure the relationship but thought I'd ask if anyone else has experienced this??

I have some 350+ products already loaded and never had any issues with images and no changes have been made in admin to configurations (other than Google Merchant).

Any clues??

cheers,
Mike

By chance are you using image handler...if so...turn it ON on the config of your Google Merchant.

I also am getting the Whoops message after installing the Numinix Google Merchant Feed. It is very frustrating. If you find the issue, please let me know.
