Re: Google Merchant Center Feeder for ZC v1.5.x
If you use the code from leviathan you will get
<g:identifier_exists><=!=[=C=D=A=T=A=[False]=]=></g:identifier_exists>
simply change identifier_exists to ean or gtin
and you will get
<g:gtin><=!=[=C=D=A=T=A=[False]=]=></g:gtin>
Change
PHP Code:
elseif ($products->fields['products_ean'] != '') {
$ean = $dom->createElement('g:ean');
$ean->appendChild($dom->createCDATASection($this->google_base_xml_sanitizer($products->fields['products_ean'])));
$item->appendChild($ean); }
to
PHP Code:
elseif ($products->fields['products_ean'] != '') {
$ean = $dom->createElement('g:ean');
$ean->appendChild($dom->createCDATASection($this->google_base_xml_sanitizer($products->fields['products_ean'])));
$item->appendChild($ean);
} else {$identifier_exists = $dom->createElement('g:gtin');
$identifier_exists->appendChild($dom->createCDATASection($this->google_base_xml_sanitizer('False')));
$item->appendChild($identifier_exists); }
And if you want to create a default Brand value as False:
Change
Code:
if ($products->fields['manufacturers_name'] != '') {
$manufacturers_name = $dom->createElement('g:brand');
$manufacturers_name->appendChild($dom->createCDATASection($this->google_base_xml_sanitizer($products->fields['manufacturers_name'])));
$item->appendChild($manufacturers_name);
}
to
Code:
if ($products->fields['manufacturers_name'] != '') {
$manufacturers_name = $dom->createElement('g:brand');
$manufacturers_name->appendChild($dom->createCDATASection($this->google_base_xml_sanitizer($products->fields['manufacturers_name'])));
$item->appendChild($manufacturers_name);
} else {$identifier_exists = $dom->createElement('g:brand');
$identifier_exists->appendChild($dom->createCDATASection($this->google_base_xml_sanitizer('False')));
$item->appendChild($identifier_exists); }
==========================
Before update my error was:
Insufficient product identifiers: Missing two out of three attributes [GTIN, brand, mpn]22 errors.
After update:
Invalid GTIN value 22 errors.
Please make sure the value is a valid UPC-A (GTIN-12), EAN/JAN (GTIN-13), or GTIN-14. Learn more
Examples:...
I am working on the new error. But thankfully half has been fixed.
Re: Google Merchant Center Feeder for ZC v1.5.x
My code was incorrect,
incorrect: <g:gtin><=!=[=C=D=A=T=A=[False]=]=></g:gtin> This is giving a displayable value of False to GTIN
correct: <g:identifier_exists><=!=[=C=D=A=T=A=[False]=]=></g:identifier_exists>This is giving a the correct invisible value of False to GTIN and Brand
So follow leviathan original code.
Either way google does not accept it, and requires Brand or GTIN and/or MPN (2 of 3 I think. GTIN is optional if you have Brand I think)
Re: Google Merchant Center Feeder for ZC v1.5.x
p.s.
Adding Brand alone fixed GTIN and MPN errors.
Because I do not know what the brand name is I used the Business name as default (I hope google don't disqualify me for this, but it is working for now)
I added default brand name by editing \..\classes\google_base.php
Code:
if ($products->fields['manufacturers_name'] != '') { $manufacturers_name = $dom->createElement('g:brand');
$manufacturers_name->appendChild($dom->createCDATASection($this->google_base_xml_sanitizer($products->fields['manufacturers_name'])));
$item->appendChild($manufacturers_name);
}
to
Code:
if ($products->fields['manufacturers_name'] != '') { $manufacturers_name = $dom->createElement('g:brand');
$manufacturers_name->appendChild($dom->createCDATASection($this->google_base_xml_sanitizer($products->fields['manufacturers_name'])));
$item->appendChild($manufacturers_name);
} else {$identifier_exists = $dom->createElement('g:brand');
$identifier_exists->appendChild($dom->createCDATASection($this->google_base_xml_sanitizer('MY BRAND NAME HERE')));
$item->appendChild($identifier_exists); }
Most products have a brand name so you're better off adding it in the Zencart Admin Manufactures (this works and will fix your GTIN and Brand error).

Has anyone figure this out yet??

It is already a part of the current version of Google Merchant Center Feeder for ZC v1.5.x
My XML :
Code:
<g:availability>in stock</g:availability>
Also in Google Merchant Center diagnosis shows availability field correctly specified for all my items
Re: Google Merchant Center Feeder for ZC v1.5.x
Hi,
Google is now checking for a mobile store/landing page of all products submitted.
We use a sniffer/redirect for mobile users which changes our URL's from:
HTML Code:
www.sitename.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=309
to
HTML Code:
www.sitename.com/mobile.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=309
... but Google now thinks this is incorrect / erroring (404) and rejecting the feed.
Is there a way to out put the new link into the correct tag for the feed to work? The <link> tag is fine, and Google wants the <mobile-link> too. I can't manually add these to the output file of 500+ products on a weekly basis. Can I automate it so that I get almost the same URL output, just with the link/mobile-link and the index.php/mobile.php changed?
Google spec: https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/188494
Any ideas?
Re: Google Merchant Center Feeder for ZC v1.5.x
Hi there,
just installed the module but cant figure out how exactly i get it to work. Installation worked fine without Errors. After setting up the configurationen i attempted to run this thing.
After a short peroid i get the message:
Quote:
Google Merchant Center Feeder v1.14.3 started 2014/09/23 08:22:05
Feed file - XXX/feed/google/blabla.xml
Processing: Feed - Yes, Upload - Yes
Nothing happens after that. The XML doesnt show up in the /feed/google/ folder and/or in my Google Merchant Center...?! What am i doing wrong?

With the ability to add a 'date expected' option into a Zen Cart product, the output file should change the 'availability' tag from 'in-stock' to 'pre-order' so that Google will still allow the feed, and know that you are taking pre-orders. The plug-in just outputs everything as 'in-stock' even if the 'date-available' option is used.
Can/will this get an update?
Re: Google Merchant Center Feeder for ZC v1.5.x
Installed latest version on 1.5. also have stock by attribute and each variant quantity entered (stock combination). Stock by attribute is selected in google merchant center feeder setting but still it does not include product with attribute in out put file.
Any idea how to fix this?
Thanks
Re: Google Merchant Center Feeder for ZC v1.5.x
So, is this plugin broken? I don't want to install it after seeing so many pages of problems people are running into. :(
