Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

@kevinmc3
Check out the google product feed specification here:
http://support.google.com/merchants/...swer=188494#GB

Missing recommended attribute: mpn

mpn [mpn] - Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) of the item

This code uniquely identifies the product to its manufacturer. In particular, the combination of brand and MPN clearly specifies one product.

When to include:Required for all items - except apparel, media, and custom made goods, or if you're providing 'brand' and 'gtin'.
Type Alphanumeric characters
Text/Tab delimited GO12345OOGLE
XML '<g:mpn>GO1234568OOGLE</g:mpn>'

Missing recommended attribute: google product category "
For this see Google Product Taxonomy at

hope this helps

I have updated the mod from the version I had, but now it will not insert any products into the feeder. I have about 10-11,000 products. From google base website the error is showing as this:
1 of 0 inserted
XML formatting error - Error

Line 231 has this:

Google Merchant Center Feeder v1.10.2

upcisbn_product_fields_2-1 module
product_fields.sql

Code:

---

ALTER TABLE products ADD products_upc varchar(32) NOT NULL after products_model;
ALTER TABLE products ADD products_isbn varchar(32) NOT NULL after products_upc;

---

only adds two fields - note, there is no products_ean added

solution: edit public_html/googlefroogle.php
line # 129 to remove products_ean

Code:

---

$additional_attributes .= ", p.products_upc, p.products_isbn";

---

Why are the urls in my products redirecting to non working urls?

http://www.merlinabrasives.com/feed/...n_products.xml

Also why are there only 50 products in the .xml feed?

Thirdly how do I automate the upload to Froogle?

Cheers

As well as what's above I remember being able to get a txt document created with all the prods in it. How do I do that?

HELP PLEASE!


I am running a ZC v1.3.9h and currently using Google Base Feeder 1.8.2, receiving the following errors/warnings:


AVAILABILITY (all products)
GOOGLE PRODUCT CATEGORIES (all products).

I would like to upgrade my Google Base Feeder to the most recent version (1.12.5) but do not want to make any mistakes.

Here is what I plan to do:
1. Backup (sql and files)
2. Upload 1.12.5 files
3. Run patch (update_1_12_4.sql)

Will this work? Or do I need to completely uninstall first, then install 1.12.5?

Thanks,
Mike

we have over 20,000 products and the Processing Feed always gets timeout. Anyway to fix it? We are still on zen cart 1.3.9h. Thanks in advance!

Quick question:
How soon can you re-feed your products to google?

I uploaded last Wednesday, data was good but I am still awaiting the google "manual" review before being inserted into searchable category.

While waiting, I added a bunch of new products, would like to feed them also. Should I just wait until the google review is complete?

Also, as a matter of general protocol, should I wait until my products expire before re-feeding?

Thanks!

Seems as if this message will have to be rinsed and repeated a FEW times before folks stop posting support questions in this thread..

If you are using any version of the Numinix Google Merchant Version: 1.12.0 (formerly known as Google Base Feeder) older that v1.12.0 and your Google product feeds stopped working, THIS IS WHY YOUR FEED STOPPED WORKING!!!!! Google no longer supports feeds generated using the old formats older version of the Numinix Google Merchant add-on.

YOU WILL NEED TO UPGRADE TO THE LATEST VERSION OF THIS ADD-ON TO GET YOUR FEEDS WORKING AGAIN!!!

AND

YOU NEED TO POST YOUR SUPPORT RELATED QUESTIONS IN THE NEW SUPPORT THREAD!!!
