Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread
Hi there,
I installed the most recent version of this and am having some issues with it. For some reason, the HTML tags are not being removed from the product descriptions. I'm seeing all the <b>, <p> etc tags in the "Description" field for the XML file and it's causing it to be seen as invalid.
Any thoughts?
thanks
Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread
Hi im also having problems but ive managed to get the system to generate a datafeed for me but can not upload it and dont know how to manually add it to google base.
To manually add it to google base do i open the datafeed by going to the url then copy it and paste it into notepad and save as a xml?
cheers
Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread
Hi - I installed this today and I think everything went ok, but when I create my feed it only gives me one record. I have over 1,000 thousand items in my store.

My feed file name is "omfgsamename.xml" on which field i should enter it, frankly speaking i can not find any suitable.
7. Go to Admin->Tools>Google Base Feeder and follow instructions to create, view, and upload feed file. FIALED. When i click on Create Product Feed: Click [HERE] to create / update your products feed - GOES nothing - plugin generates new pop-up blank window with none content or any kind of text, steps or other info, tested on 3 different browsers.
So it even do not creates product feed ...
I'm having the same problem and I agree, #6 is not clear.
Anyone???
Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread
Well looks like it is working again so what ever it was, someone must have fixed it.

The problem with the html tags not being removed, I have the same problem with one or two items. I just keep going through them looking for what is out of place, as it is normally something you have in your description causing the problem. Speech marks was my problem for most of them but I still have a few other items that I have to find the tag I should not be using.
Hope that helps
Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread
Hi
It looks like its working fine now but when i log into my google base account it doesnt show the product feed. Is this correct? or should it show it. This is the message i get when i upload the data feed through zencart:

Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread
Great news its worked and google have accepted the data feed however they are only recognising 20 products out of 55 or so. Its got error like remove ".
Where would i remove it from the actual listing in zencart?
cheers
Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread
Ok all is working fine. I have found some errors and have managed to get them sorted. However there is an error that i get for invalid expiration date once the feed has been uploaded. Do you know where i can change this expiration date from?
Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread
Even though I was getting any results I set Google up to automatically fetch my feed. This morning I got these results:
