Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread
Is there a way to make this mod display the same "Category" on google base for all items? I get the top level folder that my item is listed under (Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, Mitsubishi) and I want them to all read "Automotive" instead of the vehicle manufacturer.
Thanks!!!!
Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread
I'm running the latest version of Zen Cart. I installed the google base feeder, but it's not working. I tried installing the patch update, it seemed to take, however I still can't get any products to generate.
How can I fully remove google base feeder? I need to try reinstalling. I tried running the uninstall sql script, but it seems there are still some things in the db, as I can't reinstall.
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hello Actionmedia,
Please post any error messages you are getting while trying to do the reinstall. That would help anyone trying to assist you.
Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread
When I try to apply the update_1_7_1 sql patch, I receive this:
1062 Duplicate entry 'GOOGLE_BASE_MAP_PRICING' for key 2
in:

I ran the uninstall script, and tried reinstalling just the googlefroogle.sql query, and can't. I receive this:

Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread
There's a pretty good readme file with this mod that explains the set up process step by step by step.
Open the readme file and go through each step meticulously.
It sounds like you don't even have a Google Base account yet!? Read the step by step install guide which explains how to open an account and also how to configure it correctly.
Do this and you'll get it working... You need to know your account details (Google Base FTP Password and Google Base FTP Username) so that you can output a txt file to upload to google base.
Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread
Hi All,
v1.7.3a installed on zen 1.3.8a
I'm having a couple of problems, the first is that when I try to enter my domain name in Configuration>Google Base Feeder Configuration, I get an error:'Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /admin/configuration.php on this server.
Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request. '
Should it really be trying to write to configure.php? I didn't want to change permissions, as I don't know what it wants to change...
Next problem;
When I installed the sql files, the first (googlefroogle.sql) went fine but the upgrade (update_1_7_3.sql) gave an error:'1062 Duplicate entry 'GOOGLE_BASE_DEBUG' for key 2
in:
[INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_id, configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES (NULL, 'Debug', 'GOOGLE_BASE_DEBUG', 'false', 'Turn on simple debug?', @configuration_group_id, 0, NOW(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(\'true\', \'false\'),');]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.'
I assume this is of no consequence, as debug appears in the configuration menu just fine, but wanted to check.
I mention all the above as it may be contributory to my final problem; although an xml file is created just fine, and google grabs it with gusto, it only contains 68 of 216 products. I've not excluded any categories, and the products which are included come apparently randomly from across 2 categories only, not including the whole inventory of either category.
I've probably explained this in the longwindedest way possible, for which I apologise, but if you can help point me in the right direction, I'll be a very grateful zennite.
Thanks, and regards,
Sean
