Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread

What? UPC and ISBN fields are not even present in Zen Cart products. I don't have them and never needed them before. Up to very recently I used v 1.3.2 and had froogle.txt file that I uploaded without any errors. Now I upgraded zen cart to 1.3.8a and figured I upgrade Google Base Feeder as well. Now the mod creates a *.xml file and I get error reports back from Google. I don't understand why I suddenly need UPC and ISBN?
I know I have some products without the description, I will fix that and see if Google still complains about UPC and ISBN.

I am merely reiterating what Google that Google has stated that all products need a UPC or ISBN. Whether or not they enforce it is another thing. Most likely your items were rejected for other reasons and now they are also pointing out that you do not have UPCs
Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread
Google in the UK are now requiring a EAN number this is easy to do just by changing
Quote:
$content["upc"] = '<g:upc>' . zen_froogle_sanita($products->fields['products_upc'], true) . '</g:upc>
to
Quote:
$content["upc"] = '<g:ean>' . zen_froogle_sanita($products->fields['products_upc'], true) . '</g:ean>
in googlefoogle.php about line 213
The problem I am having is we have about 5,000 products and at this time we are still trying to get the EAN numbers from the suppliers for about 1,500 of them, is there away to set it up so if the UPC field is blank it will not add the product to the feed.
Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread
It is as I suspected, the description that was missing was causing google to reject the items. Now all items were accepted, no more errors.
Numinix, you were correct, once items get rejected they produce a list of stuff that can be done. But only the ones showing required attribute need correction. After that, no more complains.

Did you do this? You have to do this in your google account somewhere under setting for your feed. Did you register your feed file?

I would check the Google Checkout settings.... and the expiration date can be set in the Google Base settings. Can't be more than 30 days.
Re: Google Froogle Support Thread
Hi..
I understand the Products Feed, that's easy.. But what's the Document Feed? I don't quite understand what the purpose of that is? And do you have to create a seperate feed in Google for it?
Thanks
David
