I suspect they were there before. Do a db backup and restore an older one and see if it was there. You can restore the newest backup after this test. Do I have to say it? Maybe, DO AT YOUR OWN RISK!

numinix, did you ever find the solution to this? I have bullets all through my descriptions and str_replace doesn't work (as you noted). I tried applying the function html_translate to see if one of these would strip it out:
$value = preg_replace("/¿/", "À", $value);
and I tried to find a hexidecimal entity(like 0xD7FF ??) for the bullet without success.

It strips all the html from the description. Google strips it anyway so it shouldn't matter. We'll see -- I just resubmitted the feed and am awaiting confirmation.

Had the same character issue with 1.7.1a which I upgraded from 1.6.2, using zen 1.3.8.
I downloaded a new version on Numinix' site (1.7.3a) and all products upload without error.
Looks like this version has not been posted on the Zen download section, but it is here:
v1.7.3a
Numinix, thanks for the quick fix... and great mod!:clap:
Hi, I'm trying to list my products on Google Base, and they seem to be approved each time once the file is uploaded to Base.
But, I would really like to include the Products Model information from each product. Is there some adjustment I can make to any of the files included with the feeder program so that it will extract that information too?
I have searched for "model" in this thread and haven't had much luck. If someone can point me in the right direction I'd really appreciate it. Or if Numinix can lend a hand that'd be splendid also!

Actually to clarify about my s/w. I have never installed the Base Feeder before so it's a new install. I am using ZC v1.3.8a, and installed google base feeder 1.7.1 . I found on the first post in this thread that MPN was added, but I cannot find that in my Base Feeder Configuration. :(
MPN isn't an option, it is automatically included in the feed as it is a requirement by Google Base. Remember, viewing the feed in a browser is different than viewing the feed in an xml editor as in a browser only elements that are defined will show up. g:mpn is not a standard element, therefore the browser ignored this element.Quote:

Oh crummy. Thank you for clearing that up. I checked the specifics of my items online after your post, and figured out I'm the "bug" in the system. I was wanting to be able to have customers search by the mfr product number and I've been entering product models with the manufacturer name included in that cell. So when I look at the mfr model number on Base, it says "AEM21-XXX" instead of just "21-XXX". In my site there's a space between the mfr name and product model number that I entered in to the cell. And the space is displayed on my product listing. But google scrunches them together when it gets the data feed file.
Well I certainly appreciate you pointing out the issue for me, thank you and have a great day!
How did you get your website to show external images?Quote:
