Setting up a cron job is explained in the readme doc that comes with the mod.
Hi,
I am really stuck. Currently, my products have been banned by Google for not having barcodes.
I have installed Zen-Cart 1.38a.
GMCF version 1.12.5.
SBA 1.4.13
Numinex Product fields 1.2.0
Flexible attributes for the version of Zen-Cart 1.38a
All are installed correctly and all work independently of each other. I am able to put barcodes for those products which do not have attributes and that works fine. However, when I need to use the color attribute for certain products, they have independent barcodes.
I cannot seem to work out how to marry the color with the barcode and allow it to be found in the GMCF correctly. Nothing seems to work or if it does work it does not work correctly. I can check the GMCF source code so I know if it is working or not. To add barcodes to attibutes seems to be overly complicated with to many add-ons being needed to work together. :frusty:
Hi,
I figured it out as below:
I changed the name of my original option name 'colour' to 'choose colour' so that it did not intefere with the GMCF.
Under the option name I added 2 more read-only options (color & EAN as they were what I needed)
I then assigned a couple of option values to them to test.
From the attribute controller I picked one product that already had a 'choose colour' attribute to test (say for example Red, Green & Blue)
I then added the option name 'color' with the option values that were exactly the same (i.e. Red, Green & Blue)
I then added the option name 'EAN' with option values of the barcodes of these specific colours.
I then went to the SBA menu products with attribute stocks and found the specific product that I made changes to the attributes.
I added quantities to the specific attribute that I wanted so for the 3 attributes I am using (choose colour, color, EAN) this would be Red, Red & EAN for Red and then Green, Green & EAN for Green, etc.
I then did a GMCF test and viewed the source file to make sure the color & EAN fields were there for the specific product (which they were).
The problem now is the customer can see the additional read-only fields on the product listing. So on the flexible attributes add-on style sheet I added the following:
#wAttrib-11 {display: none;}
#wAttrib-12 {display: none;}
The number 11 coressponds to the color option name id and the number 12 the EAN. So now the customer only sees the 'choose colour' option name with the values.
This is the only way I could have a google feed that would carry a colour attribute with a specific barcode.
I had to create two colour option names because in the 'choose colour' option name as I have a read only value of 'choose below' which inteferes with the GMCF so by changing the option name to 'choose colour' it does not intefere with the GMCF leaving the 'color' option name to do the GMCF work.
I think a simpler system should eventually manifest itself. Does anyone know how to simplify it? As I have to do this to 400+ products.:huh:
Does Anyone know how to remove the attributes from the title tag as my title tags are becoming too long. For example if you add an EAN attribute to a product the it also adds the EAN to the end of your title which is not needed.

I too have a mixture of used, refurbished and new products and withoutthis option it appears like I am trying to hoodwink customer as all items are listed as either all new or all used.
Would love to use this option so if anyone know a way I'd be so greatful.
:dontgetit
Hi
Is there an easier way to view & edit the feed does anyone know. I've opened it in excel, but it won't let me save any changes?
Thanks
Hi, I think if you install Numinex Product fields there is an entry for in the product field for condition. So for each product you can say if the product is new or used. You will need to turn off the default condition on your GMCF configuration menu.Quote:

In theory you could make changes to the actual feed file after you have processed it. I think by default you should be able to find it at feed/google. However, if you process the feed again it would replace the changes you have made.Quote:

I need to remove the read only attributes being included as this is messing up my GMCF
I know the answer to these questions lies somewhere in googlefroogle.php but I do not know where. Anyone can help?
I think I have found away of removing the read-only attribute intefering with the GMCF. Around line 288 in googlefroogle.php you need to deleteQuote:

By removing this it does not seem to intefere with the rest of the feed and now I do not need to have two colour attributes I can use the one for the customer as the same for my product feed.
so now if I can only get help for the following:
