Code:

---

function google_base_version() {
      //$file = DIR_FS_CATALOG . 'numinix_version/google_base_feeder.txt';
      //$handle = fopen($file, 'r');
      $version = "1.7.4.9g"; //fread($handle, filesize($file));
      //fclose($handle);
      return trim($version);
    }

I've modified so much of it I can't just do a simple upgrade anymore... plus this way I can keep track when I upgrade it to meet a new cart upgrade... (9g) Could just update the text file too....

---

Fix this one. How about these 2 errors.

Yep... Zero quantity is bypassed unless you turn it off in the settings in admin. Google well more then likely reject 0 quantity feeds....

I tried recreating the error.... no luck. Line 15 is writing the output to file.... you could echo $output to see what it looks like. The Missing argument 3 could be the offer ID.... have to look to at the xml to see what's missing..

Here's the xml file if you like to see it. Let me when you download it so I can delete it. Thanks for the help.
If you would give me example where to put the echo.

OK... got the file... will look it over when I get back in from work...
includes\classes\google_base.php

Code:

---

  function google_base_fwrite($output='', $mode, $type) {
      $output = implode("\n", $output);
      if(strtolower(CHARSET) != 'utf-8') {
        $output = utf8_encode($output);
        //echo $output;
      } else {
        $output = $output;
        //echo $output;
      }

---

un-comment the echo and when you click the create button, the popup box well show what is written to the xml file... set the amount of products to just 20 or less before you do it. Just enough to see what's going on.

Where do I find the xml file?

Also I am using SEO URL's and not magic SEO URL's does this create a problem?

Thanks

Oh sorry for the confusion I got it working but it is always "login failed" "upload failed".

I am on shared server and shared IP address.

Do I need to do it manually then?

If so how.

Thanks

Thanks for the Add On.

A customer wanted to add MPNs that were different from their Model Number, and I had alread installed the Product Fields mod so I duplicated the SKU folder from optional fields, changed all instances of "sku" or "SKU" to "mpn" or "MPN"

and then in googlefroogle.php changed this:

PHP Code:

---

if ($products->fields['products_model'] != '') {
  $content["mpn"] = '<g:mpn>' . $google_base->google_base_sanita($products->fields['products_model'], true) . '</g:mpn>'; 


---

to this:

PHP Code:

---

                if ($products->fields['products_mpn'] != '') {
                  $content["mpn"] = '<g:mpn>' . $google_base->google_base_sanita($products->fields['products_mpn'], true) . '</g:mpn>'; 


---

and added "p.products_mpn," right after "p.products_model" in a couple of places.

I'm sure this concept can be used for other fields as well.
Hope this is helpful to someone. :clap:

On a side note:
Before I did this, actually when I first installed the mod, I was getting an error about a missing column, p.products_category, so in line 126 I changed

PHP Code:

---

$additional_attributes .= ", p.products_condition, p.products_category"; 


---

to

PHP Code:

---

$additional_attributes .= ", p.products_condition"; 


---

Got rid of the error.

hi there, been using google feeder for a month or so now, but gone back to checkup again etc....
and it says dissaproved
i click the "dissaproved" link to show why, and no errors load...
im thinking it may be due to the file size of my domain_products.xml

which is almost 14mb....

is there a way to set googlebase to split the file into several once it hits a certain filesize?

without manually changing settings 4 or 5 times to create seperate files?

GB is working great except it's showing the "Item#" in the description.

Quote:

Swirls of 14kt White Gold surround our Diamond Heart. Just like the security you feel from the significant other in your life. Item # SLJ-AG0M9A ...

---

That Item# is actually entered in ZC as the Model#.
The only option in GB that is on, and could be doing this, is the Show Option ID, which is set to ID.
If I turn that off, will it stop generating the Model# and, if I stop generating a Model#, could that cause my feed to be rejected by Google?

In case it's relevant, I do not have Numinix product fields installed.

Thank you,
Stephen
