Hello,
Can anyone give me a good site to get information about Cron Jobs? I set up a Cron Job in my cPanel through my host but the results were not correct. The Cron Job command line I put in was:
The file is saved in the /feed folder as vg_google_products.xml but the command line above saved it as vg_google_.xml. It omitted the products from the file name. It also only parsed the store name and the store website information into the xml file. It did not upload it to Google, which is fine since it would not have been accepted because it wasn't the correct named file. Lastly, it saved the file with the file permissions of 777, which isn't correct either.Code:GET http://www.values-galore.com/googlefroogle.php?feed=yes&upload=yes&type=products
If I put the above command into the address bar of my browser, it runs perfect (omit the GET). So we know the googlefroogle.php file is working properly. My store has close to 3000 products and when I run all the steps from the Admin -> Tools -> Google Base Feeder it all works perfect (both the creating of the feeder and the uploading).
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
I'm not sure, but i think you need to use PHP instead of GETQuote:

I just got it working with the following:
I found this on the forum at http://www.numinix.com/forumCode:GET 'http://www.values-galore.com/googlefroogle.php?feed=yes&upload=yes&type=products' > /dev/null 2>&1
OK, I've looked all throughout this thread and simply can't find the answer I'm looking for :(
I just installed GBF and I also use USEO URLs. I changed the two settings that numinex said to change in the USEO config section, but when I click to create a new feed, a new window pops up for my domain and it a page not found :(
Any ideas on what I need to do?
Thanks Guys!
hi
i am getting the following message:
Not Found
The requested URL /GOOGLE_FROOGLE_DIRECTORYGOOGLE_FROOGLE_OUTPUT_FILENAME_products.xml was not found on this server.
done everything by the book, anyone know whats up ???
Egg:cool:
UPS! forgot the googlefroogle.php file in the main directory, all is well now :)
Now that I've got this mod working, I wonder if it is at all possible for special characters to exist in seo urls, and still use the feeder at the same time?? I would prefer if the categories and products don't run together. any way to avoid this and still have my feed work?
Thanks!
Hello,
Seems the feeder strips out all the quote (") marks. About 90% of my products use this character in the description to define measurements. Does the XML file require the quote marks be removed? If it does, then I will just have to live with it. If it doesn't, can the GBF be adjusted to leave the quote marks in?
Thanks

Check that the admin files are uploaded properly. If you've renamed your admin folder, you'll need to make sure the files are uploading to the correct location.Quote:

Question about the errors from google about my feed still apply.
I want to activate my Google Checkout and searched this thread but don't quite understand yet how to activate or add the Payment_accepted attribute in the google_base.xml file - can you tell me where to add the info I got from Google's web site. <g: payment_accepted>GoogleCheckout</g: payment_accepted> and where to add it in the file named??

You may include as many methods as you accept. For tab-delimited, separate each payment method by a comma. For XML, include each payment method as a separate tag.Tab-delimited example: Visa, MasterCard, DiscoverXML example: <g: payment_accepted>Visa</g: payment_accepted>
<g: payment_accepted> MasterCard</g: payment_accepted>
<g: payment_accepted> Discover</g: payment_accepted>
I am not sure what assistance you need on top of the explanations returned by Google? These are required attributes. If you do not have a UPC, you must have an ISBN. If you don't have an ISBN, you must have a UPC.Quote:

What? UPC and ISBN fields are not even present in Zen Cart products. I don't have them and never needed them before. Up to very recently I used v 1.3.2 and had froogle.txt file that I uploaded without any errors. Now I upgraded zen cart to 1.3.8a and figured I upgrade Google Base Feeder as well. Now the mod creates a *.xml file and I get error reports back from Google. I don't understand why I suddenly need UPC and ISBN?Quote:

I am merely reiterating what Google that Google has stated that all products need a UPC or ISBN. Whether or not they enforce it is another thing. Most likely your items were rejected for other reasons and now they are also pointing out that you do not have UPCsQuote:

The problem I am having is we have about 5,000 products and at this time we are still trying to get the EAN numbers from the suppliers for about 1,500 of them, is there away to set it up so if the UPC field is blank it will not add the product to the feed.
It is as I suspected, the description that was missing was causing google to reject the items. Now all items were accepted, no more errors.
Numinix, you were correct, once items get rejected they produce a list of stuff that can be done. But only the ones showing required attribute need correction. After that, no more complains.

Hello All,
Trouble getting GBF to work, at 1st I would get a upload failed error, It seems that GBF had created a file called (domain_products.xml) but it was trying to upload a file called (domain_products.xml_products.xml) no that is not a typ-o.
Since the file names did not match the upload failed. So I deleted the file (domain_products.xml) and recreated a product file with GBF witch it named (domain_products.xml_products.xml) and tried the upload again, the upload was successful.
However, I now get an error from Google that the upload failed,no products are live. Looking at the details it would seem that Google can not understand the file.
I am not sure where to go from here !
Can anybody help ?
Jim
https://ecmauto.com
For the output file name use only your domains name without the www and no .com
www.thisismydomain.com would be just thisismydomain
The mod will add the _products.xml automatically. The feed needs to be registered with exactly the same complete file name in Google Base.
Hope this helps...
Hi mydanilo,Quote:

If I used the upload products feature in "admin-tools-google base feeder" I get an error,in the error it will tell me the path and file name of the file it tried to upload, the file it was looking for was "domain_products.xml_products.xml". I went to my c-panel and changed the name of the file to match and the upload succeeded.
However I now get an error from google that the upload failed stating that they either can not understand the URL or the attribute on nearly every line of the file.
Is it somthing the mod is doing or do I need to reformat my entire site ?

mydanilo,
Sorry i can be a bit slow at times,I found what you referd to,"admin-config-google base-output filename" the name "domain_products.xml" was a sample name,duh. I gave a name,went to c-panel and deleted the file 1st file it generated,went to admin-tools-google base and created a products feed file,it created one just as I named it and gave the ext. just as you said. I went tot my google base acct. and registerd the file excactly as named,went back to admin-tools-google base and upload product feed. It has stalled at "upload started"

Hi all,
More info on my problem,GBF will create a .xml file but it stalls at "upload started". I can upload it manualy however,but, google reject it reporting errors in every link url in the file.It seems that they are missing the "http://"prefix that google requires. How can I fix this ?
anyone!
Thanks,jim

Store Address
make sure you use http://www.yourdomainname.com
not just yourdomainname.com
Danilo,
Thanks for the reply, since last post I went through the .xml file that GBF generated and added the "https://mydomain.com/"in front of every link and uploaded again manually,Google reported no errors this time, Trouble is that I will have to modify the .xml file every time I generate a new one,monthly,before upload.What a headache.
Bigger problem however is that I never checked my site during all this,when I did I found it was down,reported a 1064 syntax error and made the site unusable. I un-installed GBF and site is now fixed.
Any suggestions on how to correct ?

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?
Find $price in the main root file and you can change how it is given its value.
OK, so I will try and replace it with:
zen_get_products_discount_price_qty
I will test and then post.
I tried to replace
with:PHP Code:$price = zen_get_products_actual_price($products->fields['products_id']);
PHP Code:$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

Connected to: uploads.google.comLogin ok:Current Directory Is: /-r--r----- 1 ftp root 331095 May 21 04:31 domain_products.xml
Upload ok!
Viewing the Google Base FTP content (last option on the /admin/Tools/Google Base Feeder page gives

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...
Right, thanks for that. I actually up up loaded last night but I'll give it until tomorrowQuote:

It does put your website into all of the links, otherwise how would Google know where to link to?
If you need to have this module installed for you, please PM me or visit the Numinix services page found in my forum signature.

The problem is that the mod. did not put my web add. into any of the links. That is why the 1st upload failed. It wasn't until I edited the .xml file GBF generated and added my web add. into all the links that I was able to get a successful upload.
I tried the install twice, double checked the local of all files and I used cut and paste with notepad++ to install the .sql patch. I did not use upload.

Logging in to view the feed has been equally problematic, although I have just started getting in. It is reporting 0 uploads though!! (Mind you, I have only just uploaded)
So, I still don't do where I am.

The mod works great, google base on the other hand is goofy. For some reason every site I have use this or the other google base/froogle mods with take about a month to work. Just make really sure you have followed the directions exactly, set up a cron job, and ignore the errors for about a month. Then (magicaly as far as I can tell) google decides it like you and will accep your feed.
Alright I figured it out, got the feed to upload an all, but it's only generating a feed of 1 out of my 400 items! Plus its listing it all as 1 word (i.e. welcometozencartpleasesignin). What going on?Quote:

I think I found what I am looking for and really wasn't trying to be lazy in asking first without looking. Now I just need to get my head around the 'recommendations' given by google such as using mpn, isbn, upc and brand attributes because as things stand right here and now - this may as well be in chinese.
Anyhow I see where I need to make a few alterations in admin but still wonder why it has taken until today after many weeks of uploading without errors, for the feed to suddenly fail. Could it be that google has changed something?
Cheers
Rob

The message from Google clearly states that a description is required for all products. It also recommends certain attributes such as UPC. Finally, you need to set an expiry date within their limits.
firstly, it is an issue when the information is required to properly post your products. the attributes is all im asking about. i dont know how to add certain attributes without killing the php thats why im posting here. i dont need upc or isbn just models. and finally, i didnt ask about the date, thats been set.Quote:

Hey all,
I have been using base feeder for a while. At first it worked like a charm. I haven't edited any files on my store but for some reason the past few months i just get this from froogle
"Error Bad data Line #"
I'm not sure how to fix it. It worked before and suddenly it stopped working. Again i haven't made any changes to my store except adding new products.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
