Thanks for explaining that! I thought the DB was in UT8 but I guess not. Anyhow, it's working now, or at least seems to be.

Two things I noticed are that products are being added to the feed from oldest to newest, the previous version was displaying it from newest to oldest. And model numbers are not searchable, only the product titles which is not going to bring in much traffic.

I'm going to try switching "Show Offer ID" from id to model to see if that helps.

Update: this seems to have helped!

Thanks so much for a speedy reply. However, after a quick test, it makes no difference whether IH is turned on or off. At least the main images work.
Thanks again

I don't know why the additional images wouldn't work then. What you posted for the xml looks like it should. No one has reported this problem on numinix's forum either. So clueless!

Has anybody got this working in 1.50? Has anybody tried? Is it even compatible? I attempted an install of 1.12.5 in RC2 at my sandbox. It appeared to install fine, including the SQL patch. But, it didn't produce the configuration options in admin/configuration and admin/tools.

Excuse my complete ignorance but how do you uninstall previous versions of GM?

I have the sql un-install file but it wont open for me. I get the message
"The file "/Users/admin/Downloads/google_merchant_center-2/uninstall.sql" does not appear to be compressed or encoded."

Thanks in advance.
