Getting the following error:
[14-Oct-2010 03:22:12] PHP Warning: chmod(): Operation not permitted in /hsphere/local/home/CUSTOM/CUSTOMSITE.com/googlefroogle.php on line 103
[14-Oct-2010 03:22:18] PHP Warning: chmod(): Operation not permitted in /hsphere/local/home/CUSTOM/CUSTOMSITE.com/googlefroogle.php on line 386

Prior to upgrade I wasn't seeing these error logs.

replace the line with..

$products_image_base = str_replace($products_image_extension, '', $products_image);

ereg_replace is no longer supported in php5.3..

Is it better to have it that way then compared to this way?

$products_image_base = preg_replace('/'.$products_image_extension . '$/', '', $products_image); 

This how the module image handler 2 has it. If so, should I change it to that for the image handler 2?

What ever works..... or... does it!

str_replace is just a simple search replace, where as preg_replace, does more complex search and replace... or for better info.... check out http://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.str-replace.php

Keep it simple.... makes for faster code...

Thank you for your help. I'm no longer getting the error message.

ZC v1.3.8a
New to GBF and it's working fine for me but I have one question about the ftp upload.
When I log into uploads.google.com with my ftp client, shouldn't I see the domain_products.xml file that was created by and successfully uploaded using GBF?

Since I didn't see it, after a couple of ftp upload attempts and no product data showing, I decided to manually upload it via Merchant Center.

It is better to manually upload it via Merchant Center or You can let Google automatically get it for you. You can set it up from the Merchant Center for Google to retrieve it.

I have a question. Every time I create a feed which by the way does just perfect I get and errors in my error log. I'm pretty good in fixing them but I just can't think today for some reason.
Here is the error i'm getting.

I have a question. Every time I create a feed which by the way does just perfect I get and errors in my error log. I'm pretty good in fixing them but I just can't think today for some reason.
Here is the error i'm getting.

Basically, there suppose to be a folder numinix_version with a text file in it google_base_feeder.txt

the text file is nothing more then the version of Google base feeder... Check to see if its there and can be found by the program... I didn't feel like having another folder just to hold versions in, so I commented it out...

 function google_base_version() {
      //$file = DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'numinix_version/google_base_feeder.txt';
      //$handle = fopen($file, 'r');
      $version = "1.7.4.9g"; //fread($handle, filesize($file));
      //fclose($handle);
      return trim($version);
    }

I've modified so much of it I can't just do a simple upgrade anymore... plus this way I can keep track when I upgrade it to meet a new cart upgrade... (9g) Could just update the text file too....

Hey guys,

There's so many posts in this section so forgive me if this has already been solved but when I generate the froogle feed on my store I'm getting no products ?

Google Base Feeder v1.8.2 started 2010/10/18 13:17:00

Anyone know how to fix this or come across this before ?

PS:

Just noticed the debug setting and here's the output with that set

Sorry about a second post I can't edit my last one again. And excuse my slow brain lol Turn on include zero quantity to include I should read the error output more thoroughly
