Froogle Merchant Center merged into GoogleBase
Received a message from The Google Team stating to now submit Froogle bulk upload files (formerly known as product feeds) to GoogleBase. Froogle Merchant Center is no more, but Froogle is still available. Sounds like Froogle and GoogleBase will eventually become one and the same.
I'm hoping both Tim's and Andrew's Froogle feed modules will continue to work.

For now everything still works file as file as the file that is generated and uploaded. The only change is that we now upload to a new server: uploads.google.com. The same username and password still works. You can also upload from GoogleBase interface if your feed is less than 10MB

And now we can use four formats: Tab-delimited, RSS 2.0, RSS 1.0, and Atom 0.3.
I think to support only Tab-delimited and RSS 2.0 formats. And add optionally attribute support.
Re: Froogle Merchant Center merged into GoogleBase
right...
froogle feeder has stoped working correctly for me, and is sating that my files are not utf-8 compatible....
some of the fields have changed on googlebase, so i have adapted the frooglefeeder to adopt these new field headings, but am struggling on the utf-8 bits...
any ideas people ?
Re: Froogle Merchant Center merged into GoogleBase
Big changes on how the adds are showing up on Froogle also. Really has negatively affected sales for me. Time to study.
Re: Froogle Merchant Center merged into GoogleBase
We had 154 error (none before this change) when uploading our Froogle File Generator file to Google Base
Is anyone addressing this???
Thanks
Re: Froogle Merchant Center merged into GoogleBase
Same here as far as errors. Almost half of my products were excluded due to errors.
Hopefully someone will know how to fix this. I sure don't! :(
I will keep my fingers crossed.
Thanks,
Kelly
Re: Froogle Merchant Center merged into GoogleBase
Please post example error messages GoogleBase is displaying for your feed(s).
This will provide some info for Andrew and others to go on in attempting to resolve these issues.

Re: Froogle Merchant Center merged into GoogleBase
it is all to do with the new headers for the feed,
i have a modified version of froogle.php if anyone wishes to examine it, however, i still get a full set of errors for all my products, as the output file is not UTF-8 compatible.
now the changes i have made have not effected this, as it was one of the errors i was getting anyway.
so if someone can sort that bit out, i think we will be laughing.

Again... please post the complete specific error message(s).
