Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

Hey all, wondering if anyone can help me with this issue, i have read lots on this but cant seem to get it to work. Here are the steps I do...

1.) Create Product Feed: Click [HERE] to create / update your products feed. And I get this message

Google Base Feeder v.1.7.0 09.019.2008 17:38:59 started 2008/11/18 17:28:30
Feed file - /usr/home/jygoo191/public_html/shop/feed/froogle_products.xml
Processing: Feed - Yes, Upload - No
Google Base File Complete In 55.354560 Seconds 8552 Records

2.) 2.) Then I go here..Upload Product Feed: Click [HERE] to upload products feed to Google Base.

.and get this message..

..
3.) Then I go over to Google/Froogle, and I created , "before I did step 1 and 2, an account with google and named my file froogle_products.xml

Here are my settings in google account I set up with them

Filename (cannot be edited): froogle_products.xml
Target country: United States
Feed format: googlebase
File format: XML

......When I go there to see if it worked, It says it failed, and I get this error message..

( Failed
Data feed upload failed. No items are live. )

Error Bad data Line #

So , my settings in config > google base config are

, I am not editing any files in Excel, all I do is upload my products to the website via easy populate, then I do steps 1 and 2 noted above in this thread...

The file that googlebase is creating I think in Zen cart was saved in my (Control Panel) /public_html/shop/feed

and its called froogle_products.xml , and that is what is trying to be downloaded via google base feeder from my zen cart shop add on I am assuming based on my premises from above.....

So does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong...?

O yea, my catalog contains about 19,000 products.

:unsure:

Try the latest version, it should take care of most invalid characters (check the link in my signature).

Still isnt working??? I even tried just loading 1 item trough the manual upload on google website, and I tried it as text and used there sample layout..creating a new file of course based on the text file

ie:

id title description link Image link price
"""1""" """Thousand Dreams 1017 100ml Mens Perfume""" """With smooth scents and rugged undertones, this scent makes headsturn.""" """http://jygoods.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=87819""" http://jygoods.com/shop/images/m-td1017100.jpg """42.99"""


IM SOOO LOST!!!:frusty:

ok this module has been working fine and i have about 17,000 items inserted into google product search well ive updated my product list and now google just says processing and it wont go past that step.....its been doing that for like 2 days...and ive tried a few times what is going on?

Hey ZenFlower,

I noticed the same thing for an upload I did 30 days ago. It took forever to change to searchable.

Others I talked to about it on another forum were experiencing the same thing, but eventually changed to searchable.


Did not take as long when I just did an upload yesterday. Everything is searchable today.

Did you get successful upload email notification from them?

no i havent received anything from them that is just it...whats going on

Rickie, I am not an expert, but would like to ask a couple questions to see if can help.

When you go to view your active item, what is the date of expiration?

When you did the create product file, and create product upload, did it indicate "OK" on both?

Also, the previous page to this thread commented about how to search through the configuration settings so as to change the passive settings.

It wil be referred to as PASV or Passive.

The one poster had a similar problem and changing the passive setting seemed to fix it right away.

Ok, enough from this newbie! :smile:
