Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

read through all pages again and still cant seem to fix this issue. Anyone got any ideas? help!

After upgrading to the latest version of google base (I followed the instructions to the letter) I was able to successfully update and upload my feed several times, no problem.

Now, all of a sudden, when trying to Create Product Feed, I get a 404 error and the following link in the status bar :

Code:

I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the sql file, but no good. Anyone have any ideas? I'm using Zencart 1.3.8a

Just installed this module and when running the SQL i got the following

8 statements processed.
ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "" because it already exists
Note: 1 statements ignored. See "upgrade_exceptions" table for additional details.

As a result admin >> Google Base Feeder Configuration is pretty much empy, just contains teh top of a table (Title Value Action) but nothing else. Which means i cant set it up thus tools >> Google Base Feeder doesnt work.

Im off to re-read this thread again incase i missed the answer but if anyone can help it woudl be really appreciated.

OK... It seems that the Google feed gives the boot to titles and descriptions that contain certain characters like INCH marks TRADE mark symbols REGISTERED trade mark symbols, the old fashioned & character and many more I am sure. These were not a problem a few months ago, ... :huh:

I have everything install, linked and working, but when I goto create a new xml file, only 2 products show up in the product feed when I have 800+ products in my store. Thanks

(sigh).

And to kburner: When my install of GBF was actually working, I was getting some of the errors that you mention. It turned out that I was editing my descriptions in MS Word, and Google Base did not like the rendering of some characters. For instance, quotation marks copy/pasted into a Zen Cart description (assuming one is using the WYSIWYG editor) is not the same as copy/pasting into the straight text editor. I wish that I could re-create what I'm talking about and show you an example but if you look at quotation marks in MS Word/Times New Roman, they look 'curly' and that formatting is not rendered, or translated, correctly into Google Base.

I solved most of my errors and got GB to accept my posts by copying the errors straight from the "Feed status details" page on Google Base and then pasted them into notepad (so as not to incur any more formatting) and I corrected the strange characters there before pasting into Zen Cart description (Text mode- and not WYSIWYG mode) and got no more errors in Goggle Base. Again- if I could re-create the error, I'd show you exactly what I mean but I can tell you that you're looks highly suspect (emphasis on "revisión" which I'm sure should look like: "revision.").

Hope this helps.
And I still need some help with my problem.:D
Thanks

I followed your directions by eliminating the à in notepad. Then saved and ftp. Now, file will not even load to google. I am getting this error.

I also tried to load right from google base manually. And will not work either.:frusty:

I have loaded around 7,000 more products since my last feed. I am up to around 10,000 total.
