Yes The product fields mod contains some of the attribute requirements.Quote:

However, all those do is create an attribute "Quantity" in my feed with a value of "8".Quote:

These are still not being included in my feed, though I don't know what I could have done wrong.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have installed this add-on and create feed successfully.
But I am really shocked
The feed doesn't have many essential items required by Google
Froogle's feed specification is as below
http://www.google.com/support/mercha...8494&expand=US
the missed elements include:
1:Unique Product Identifiers: Attributes to ensure your products appear on the right product page, such as brands, UPCs, and EANs.
2:google product category [google_product_category] - Google's category of the item
and etc
My questiones are:
1:How to add the missed Must-have elements?
2:What software do you use to edit the XML file conveniently?
I think the massive 'find and replacement ' is necessary to make the XML meet the google's criteria.
Thank you very much!!!1
I feel the same as you. I feel like if google is asking for this and that , that all that they are asking should be added to Google Base. That being said I feel like product fields should be incorporated into this module also without having to add it extra, but then again I didn't create Google Base. I'm not putting Numinix down he has done a good job when he answers the thread here or over on his web site when people are having problems. I also see him avoiding a lot of problems people ask too. I know he doesn't have to donate any of his time for free or create any modules for free. I and everybody does appreciate his generosity, but please fix the modules like they should be fix or don't offer them at all. Thats my 2 cents worth. Please don't take it the wrong way I not pointing my finger at no one here. I'm not mad it's just my opinion which it's not worth much.Quote:

I uploaded an updated feed this morning and now I'm getting the following error, "Missing required attribute: availability" on all 9830 items. I've never received any error related to availability, so I'm not sure what setting I need to change in the configuration. Any ideas?
Is there somewhere I can get a copy of version 1.10.2? I don't want to convert to UTF-8, but I do need the availability part to work. Or in the alternative, can I use version 1.11.1 without converting to UTF-8?
I have include zero quantity set to false, show quantity set to true, and 0 in default quantity. My feeds produce the availability attribute.Quote:

For example, one of my sites is collectibles so I used the Google Taxonomy of Arts & Entertainment > Collectibles. The entry on that line is done as Arts & Entertainment > Collectibles.
Set include zero quantity to false, show quantity to true, and default quantity to 0.Quote:
