Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

Alex,

These features existed before my updates, but I will try and have a look at the code and fix them for v1.4.5. Or, I may remove them altogether as they are unimportant.

Also, even though viewing the feed file appears to be correct, there must be something wrong with the coding Andrew used because you are right that the folder name does not change in the link regardless of changes to the config. This is a little more important since those who cannot or do not want to use "feed" as their folder will have to enter in the address manually to view the feed file.

Once version 1.4.5 is complete, I am going to begin working on Quick Updates to allow inputting UPC and ISBN. If anyone feels up to the challenge, you can try and do this yourself and upload it to the downloads section to save me some time. I haven't heard back from the author...

Did it again, only errors I got are the ones saying certain things already exist from running it before. 9 things completed.

I also reinstalled all the files. Still no parameters in config, but I can see things under tools>feeder

There shouldn't be any existing statements since the installation file uninstalls any existing configuration before installing the columns to the database table.

I'm sorry that I am unable to help you with this further.

v1.4.5 GOOGLE BASE FEEDER

1. Added excluded categories;
2. Esthetic updates;

I have updated Quick Updates to version 2.03a which now includes support for UPC/ISBN. I highly suggest that everyone install/upgrade this version as it will greatly increase the efficiency of updating these new REQUIRED fields. You can download this update from my website and it should also be available in the downloads section shortly.

I am guessing that UPC and ISBN are going to eventually be used by Google to separate products into the correct categories automatically or something along those lines. They are known for their massive databases so this might not be too far fetched. At the moment their categories are messy and not useful to search products by the product_type.
