Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread
Hi I have updated to lastest merchant center and it all seems to run fine, except I am a bit mythed about something :( I sell bikes and there are various sizes that each have a different EAN number. On each bike i have an attribute for each size, how do i allocate a EAn number to each size? So for example :
Bike 1 :
size attribute Ean Number
Small : 32523523
Medium : 414124124
Large : 2414141
Xl : 4154151
I downnloaded numinixs product fields and I see I can add one EAn number to a product but this doesnt really help? Is there a way I can make an attribute that does each EAN Number. Thanks in advance for suggestions.

Ok sorry I got confused it is not EAN it is MPN and that numinixs feed takes the product model as this MPN number, how do I do it on one product lisitng for multiple sizes with different MPn numbers?

I always get this one, and it isn't an issue. I sell antique/vintage stuff and Google granted me an exemption from the product identifiers requirement.
Missing recommended attribute: google product category (521 warnings)
This is one I thought this update was supposed to solve. I do have some items that fall under apparel and media; specifically comic books and costume jewelry. Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing?
Missing recommended attribute: brand (197 warnings)
This one is new. I have quite a few items where the manufacturer is unknown, but the previous feed generator simply populated that field with my site name. A setting I missed somewhere?
Update to this. Google Product Category now solved. Just click the name of the category in the Google taxonomy and it fills in the correct info. Paste it in to Default Product Category.
Added a manufacturer of "Unknown Maker", and am editing the products with none to that to solve the missing brand attribute.

None that I know of. You might need to break them into separate listings, bt I am no expert on the subject.

< brand >
< condition >new</g:condition>
< product_type >Array</product_type>
< expiration_date >
< id >
< image_link >
< link >
< price >
< tax >
< rate >
< mpn >
< upc >
< quantity >
< currency >
< weight >

< shipping >
< description >
< /item>

Any suggestions?

xcergy,
Enter Animals > Pet Supplies > Dog Supplies in default product category. Enter nothing in default product type.
Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread
Just installed the latest version (downloaded today) 1.10.2 exactly as instructed. Go to my admin -> tools - Google Merchant Center Feeder , select feed type products, leave both fields blank (fewer than 700 products currently) click Confirm button, and everything *SEEMS* to work just fine.. BUT
My XML file is BLANK :censored: nothing in it - completely emty, zero-byte file.
Turned on Debug in configuration, deleted xml, tried again, and still no joy - generating the feed *appears* to work for all intents and purposes, but the resulting xml file is blank .. WHY!!??
:(
NOT happy!

Have you tried saving both the feed from zencart and the one that is the feed folder on your ftp program? As this happened to me and one was fine the other wasn't.

Verify that the feed folder path is correct and that the folder permissions is set to 777.
