[OLD] Google Merchant module Version 1.12.0 by Numinix

also failing because all my items are free shipping. says 0 is incorrect for shipping

Does anyone know why when running the feed creation I'm getting this message for all products?

Processing: Feed - Yes, Upload - No

id: 570, price: 0, description length: 127 - skipped: price below zero, description length less than 15 chars, or title less than 3 chars - failed

id: 571, price: 0, description length: 122 - skipped: price below zero, description length less than 15 chars, or title less than 3 chars - failed

id: 572, price: 0, description length: 124 - skipped: price below zero, description length less than 15 chars, or title less than 3 chars - failed

id: 573, price: 0, description length: 264 - skipped: price below zero, description length less than 15 chars, or title less than 3 chars - failed

Help very much appreciated.

maybe because the item is price below zero,
or the title less than 3 chars

??

Ok, I left the post open to that one :blush:

Additional information I should have put in the post. I'm using Zen Cart 1.5 and have just re-implemented the add on. The error message is for all products and NO the prices aren't below zero or titles less than 3 chars.

Hope someone can help with this as it’s a great contribution and I'd love to get it working properly.

When going to the feed URL it appears that the feed is in order from the oldest products to the newest. Is there a way to sort it from the newest to oldest?

Unfortunately, since Google has modified their structure, I can't go back to the old feed. The old feed worked perfectly with over 5,000 products.

I had the same problem after upgradin to 1.13. After some troubleshooting, if removed line 376

Code:

---

        $additional_images = $this->additional_images($products->fields['products_image']);

---

from the file catalog\includes\classes\google_base.php , and all is working fine again :clap:
this line was added in version 1.13

1. If you have any prior version of GM installed you must un-install by using the sql un-install located in the file.
2. Install the NEW sql patch.
3. Upload all NEW files.
4. Make sure the feed/goolge file is chmod at 755 or 777


Google Requirements:


1. Basic Product Information

A .id [id]- An identifier of the item
B. title [title] - Title of the item
C. description [description] - Description of the item
D. google product category [google_product_category] - Google's category of the item
E. product type [product_type] - Your category of the item
F. link [link] - URL directly linking to your item's page on your website
G. image link [image_link] - URL of an image of the item
H. additional image link [additional_image_link] - Additional URLs of images of the item
I. condition [condition] - Condition or state of the item

All of these conditions should be automatic if everything is set-up correctly with your Zen-Cart.


Troubleshooting:

D. google product category [google_product_category] - Google's category of the item

This is a must. You have to follow Google's cateogry tree. I had to change all of my categories to match theirs.
How I did it (and it took me a full day to do it) is I made the required categories for my products and moved my items to the right categories. If anyone knows a better way, then please post it.

Here's their category tree:

catergory tree here

Example: If I sell shoes, then my categories would be the following:

Shoes - Main category


Sub categories:

Athletics Shoes

Boots

Flats

High Heel Shoes

Loafers & Moccasins

Outdoor Shoes

Sandals

Slippers

Trainers


2. Availability & Price

A. availability [availability] - Availability status of the item

1. Your Zen-Cart must have "show quantity stock set to 1.
2. Your GM config must have Show Quantity (true) & Default Quantity (1)

B. price [price] - Price of the item
C. sale price [sale_price] - Advertised sale price of the item
D. sale price effective date [sale_price_effective_date] - Date range during which the item is on sale

3. Unique Product Identifiers

A. brand [brand] - Brand of the item
B. gtin [gtin] - Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) of the item
C. mpn [mpn] - Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) of the item


These are the most common problems. Please read first before posting.
