can anybody advice?
Thank you!!
Run it in DEBUG mode and scroll through to find the image error. (as well as any others)
This could also be caused by a 'blank' NONE image. It's best to at least have something in the image field - even if it's a 'Image Soon'
Although, you should have an image on each product... Makes it easier to compare products when people are looking.
If you used the easy-populate add-on, do a full export and you can find it that way as well - scanning the 'image' column.
Good luck.
Thank you. I figured out the broken image links by using Apsona addon. In Apsona, I choose all products, export image link and products ID fields as a csv file, and very easy to locate those produts without image since those bad ones will be in the first rows so I fixed those products within seconds, and generate another xml file , upload again, guess what? this time, one fix solved 2 problems, now I have total 705 products uploaded without any problem. no warning message at all!Quote:

Once I fixed the broken image link, google will keep moving on until it takes all records.
Thank you for your prompt help and hope my case can help other guys.:smile:

This allows you to enter Google Product Types on a per product basis. Note will only work if you had ASA mod installed before.
Cleaned up the googlefroogle.php since the last up load this now passes 100% for Google Product Types.
I should have said last time this works with Google Merchant Center version 1.10.2 should work with 1.10.3 just merge changes in googlefroogle.php
Found another reason why some products not exported to XML file.
For some time I have been unable to get all of my products included in the XML file. I realise that there are a large number of factors influencing this and I think I have taken all of them into account.
The only way I have found to get one of my new products included is to temporarily reduce its product name to a maximum of 28 characters and edit the exported XML back to the original name length.
The problem is it seems to be only relevant to that one product. i.e. renaming an existing product with a shorter name to >28 char still works. Can't figure it out. One thing that seemed to make a difference initially was how the new product was generated - creating a new one or copying an exisitng one. Can't seem to replicate this though. Additionally the missing product didn't appear in the debug file at all.
Anyway, I would be interested to hear if anyone else has resolved the XML inclusion problem in the same way. In the meantime I'll try to replicate the problem more thoroughly on my local copy.
Thanks for whoever it was that mentioned the version 1.10.3. I had just uploaded the 1.10.2 to contributions.
What he has now done is remove the sanitizer completely and says "make sure your store uses UTF-8 and properly encoded characters"
So this means that some of my customers will not be using this version for the moment. Their products upload with 1.10.2 but not with 1.10.3. We are talking over 2000 products and fixing all those descriptions is not feasible at this time.
This is not the first time he's played with this so I do not know what it means for the feeds come the 22.
All I know is that asking websites to have everything exactly right from the get go is just not what most of my customers do. So therefore the sanitizer is vital.
He also says he added "improved support for product variants"
so if that's your concern, go for it. I may end up uploading a zen cart version 1.10.2b without the sanitizer changes. Let me know your preferences please.
I seem to have an overlapping install and would like to start fresh. Can you tell me all the files and database tables or rows I should kill to wipe out both 1.8.2 and the current 1.10.x versions?
We found the same problem with version 1.10.3 and had to go back to version version 1.10.2.Quote:
