YIPPEE! I assume you mean 1.12.0?

I just installed on 2 sites with no problems.

You are supposed to apply for an exemption for the brand on your particular items.

Thanks Delia.

Do you have any clue about my other question? (I added it while you were answering my first question). :lookaroun

Handmade, IE; custom items, are exempt from the unique product identifier requirements.

That's not the question I'm looking for... Delia answered that.

This is my other question:

Another question is... if I have to do different categories at a time. Will uploading a new feed delete the other items already there? I thought not because they are different id's BUT I just did an upload (of different items) and the already approved/inserted items with green checkmarks were deleted.

Have you taken a look to the feed created? Maybe checking the item where stops will help you determine where's the error.

Also, if you can... delete all products and delete the feed. Then create a new one. Upload from the module on admin before trying to upload if manually.

I disabled every category except 1 and started from there ,eventually I found 2 categories causing a problem as soon as I turn them on it fails even with just 1 product active it fails ..bizarre ... It's getting very late now so going to leave it as it is for now and have another go tomorrow

thanks for the help though

I just used Numinix's latest version of 1.12.0 that he released on Sunday. I have seen no problems with it. If anyone else has used it, please post your results here. I will upload it to zen cart if no one reports any problems.

This version has added support for

UPC, EAN, and ISBN as attributes
all new required attributes (size, material, age group, gender, google product category, pattern, and color) either through Stock by Attributes or as regular attributes

I don't know if he means the existing stock by attributes mod cause he said he was going to write his own. I'll let you know later - if someone else doesn't report good things before I get to it. The 1.10.2 version does not work with stock by attributes

mikebr
no problem with ceon uri - but of course does not use the ceon urls in the feed

PinkLeopard
asked and answered many times so far - turn on show quantity and default quantity is 0

marvin
you don't have the entire mod uploaded or are mixing versions

sash
turn condition to false - you do not have the numinix product fields installed

ATSWorld
have you turned on debugging? Nobody can answer your question without a lot more information. Thanks Fez-o Joe for your response

jo_h1971
should be compatible with 1.3.8a, anything before that probably not.

ideasgirl
for google probably yes, for export from your cart, no

Linux
I'm tempted to ignore your question. I hate getting sarcastic or irritable in this thread and I generally manage not to but ......
The answer is yes or else most of the zen cart community would not have their products on Google.

I agree with you 100%. Not none of my business but since this thread is so long with old information, and On Sept. 22, Google started gradually enforcing the new Google products feed spec requirements why not start a new thread with Numinix's latest version and go from there.

This makes excellent sense.
