In that case, the breadcrumbs are already included in the PRODUCT_TYPE which is a list of each category starting from the top level.Quote:

BlessIsaacola,
In the meantime, try changing the function that is used to filter the description. Scroll down to the area of the code that outputs the description stored in the SQL and replace zen_froogle_cleaner() with zen_froogle_sanita().
Let me know if that helps. I've decided that the next version will be in XML format to avoid problems with illegal characters in the description.
There's an opportunity numinix,Quote:

I would need coaxing to undertake a universal feeder.
I pretty much have to develop for myself and I do not use shopping comparison websites so their is no benefit for me. Writing them would take considerable time and I would be lucky to see donations enough to cover a single days work. I do greatly appreciate the few donations I have received and will continue to lend support to the zen cart community.
I'm currently reqriting the GBF in XML format to solve a lot of the members problems even though they currently do not affect my own feed.
Also, I requested for you to email me so that I can provide you with Andrew's RSS 2.0 module so that you can document it and release it to the public. I don't have time to do this myself and would appreciate it if you could. Once we have a documented and workable version, we can look into adding admin support in a future release.
Yes if one doesn't utilize the feed services it is difficult to keep up-to-date on the attributes and upload requirements for each.
Maybe somebody else with the skills can build an all-around feeder mod supporting various product search sites. Maybe fork off Fork off Andrew's GoogleFeeder, Sitemap XML or similar mods. Or look at mods to port from OSC.
You have the latest RSS2 mod from Andrew? What is last date change? Feel free to provide a link to it and I will download/compare with what I have. We probably should take this discussion elsewhere and not cloud this thread.
Currently the Google Base Feeder supposrt all 5 methods I mentioned before. I would just need to add the weight and breadcrumbs for each product. I believe this would be very simple to add if you could please just help with that.
Thank you
also i would like a copy of the rss feed mod as well if it is possible.
The weight can be added just like any of the other product fields. In the SQL products_query, have it pull p.products_weight. Then have an output to create the proper heading and then in the second output have it output $products->fields[products_weight];Quote:

Now it's saying it can't accept files with /:, characters in them - which makes URLs impossible, even if I've escaped them with a \ character. Short of rewriting the file into XML, is there a way round this?
Thanks in advance - and much love to the mod creators.
Thanks that fix reduces the amount of products rejected by google but I am still left with a significant amount of rejects. Should I apply the same zen_froogle_sanita to title as well? What's the difference between zen_froogle_cleaner and zen_froogle_sanita?Quote:
