Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

I am not exactly sure what's causing the problem but we are experiencing two issues after upgrading to 1.6.1

1. The script is appending products.xml to the output file name which end up rendering the output file name to not match the filename registered with Google.

2. Since upgrading to version 1.6.1 it's only generating about 70% of our product in the feed. I am not sure if this is related to the new parameter for figuring out what a product is versus download, document, etc. Reverting back to 1.5.3 solves the problem and all 10,583 products are included in the feed.

Both Yahoo product submit and Live product feed works fine and generate all active products.

I have temporarily downgraded to 1.5.3 so we can at least upload all products.

Thanks!

The documentation for 1.6.1 needs to be updated. But, you basically create three cron jobs for each product type and register each file with Google with the new name. You won't have any downtime since your old feed will still be active until you delete it.

help please,

I am getting this error after copying the all the sql patches to the sql and can't figure it out

1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ') NULL default NULL after products_model' at line 1
in:
[) NULL default NULL after products_model;]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

I did not upload I did a cut and paste any help?????

Numinix, is you post addressing my issues of the script not generating all the products in the feed? I don't see how a cron job will solve my problem. The cron job will still upload only the file generated which is what I am having issues right.

All the other script works far as far as generating the right amount of products but the google base is not working unless I revert back to 1.5.3 which is what I've done until such a time when my issue is resolved.

Thanks!

You mentioned some other feed places.

I have looked at yahoo and at msn and cant find product feed info.
Where can I find this and are there any fees associated?
Do you use the same feed generated for google base for the other two?

Thanks,
John

John,

All of my scripts are available for download in the Numinix Technology Zen Cart Downloads section.

You can view the readme.txt file to find out more information about the service or simply do a search for Windows Live Product Search.

Numinix,
Hey - Just installed Live Feed. Thanks. Got the config done after creating an account for Search Live. Over to tools and Live Product Search Feeder!
Get this error.

Can you tell me whats wrong here? It says the feed was created (and it was) so I tried to upload and that gave an error too.

Headed over to productupload.live and uploaded it myself. . .
http error 500

Soooo Any Ideas?

Thanks, John

Delete your feed file and allow the script to create it. This goes for all of the feeders/exporters.

Okay, That took care of the that. Upload still gives me the [quote]

Visiting productupload.live and manually uploading give an error as well.
Says " Upload error!
HTTP Error, 500 occurred."

Thanks In Advance,

This seems to be a common error with the Windows Live Product Seach FTP, those who are having this issue can copy and paste all of the Google Base functions and rename them to match the WLPS Feeder.
