[OLD] Google Merchant module Version 1.12.0 by Numinix

[dolleface]

My feeder wasn't uploading at all. I used this post and managed to get 21 items from 309 to upload but they have errors and are not searchable. I am pasting the first few lines of my .xml. Please help I ma desperate as i am not getting traffic at all. It seems everything is messed up. My feeder was downloaded by numinix and it has never worked. The 21 items that uploaded i had to go in and change the info one by one. This thing was suppose to auto populate but it seems it is not. Is there a way i can write one code and it will apply to the entire website and auto populate? If someone can help i am willing to reinstall the whole thing.
I have paid to have this installed twice and they both are not working!!! please help

I don't think it's the module not working. What are the error messages you get in your google merchant admin? Are you saying that it exports 309 but google stops at 21?

If so, then look to google to find out why. My guess is that you have invalid characters in your descriptions or you have used an ampersand in one of your image names.

Delia is correct. Read her post. This happened to me several times and I had to correct each one within my store. Then I would confirm again and check to see if there were anymore errors. It takes time to make the corrections but it is well worth it. Good luck.

Hi, i have the 1.12 feed installed, everything seems fine apart from the (SIZE) attribute not showing,

Is there something i need to edit to get it to show,, i have the stock by attributes installed but as far as i can tell , it aint doing anything its just in the admin with data, but doesnt help with anything so dont know why it had to be installed with the google feed module??

Any idea..

SBA is not required - none of the modules mentioned in the config settings or the documentation are required.

Documention instructions:

This module supports adding required fields as attributes to your products (you can set them to display only and then modify your template to not show display only attributes). Supported attributes are: Size, Color, Age Group, Gender, Material, Pattern, UPC, ISBN, EAN, and Google Product Category. Please use these exact names when creating your Option Names in Zen Cart.

Did you name it SIZE or Size?

Think ive done it , thanks for that,, just check though,
my feed data has now more than doubled in size and had added the individual size of the item as a new piece of data, would that be correct??

Or should it say (size) 2,3,4,5,6, against each item

Sounds right to me.

I just upgraded to 1.12.4 and when I create the file there are no records:
Google Merchant Center File Complete In 0.010194 Seconds 0 of 0 Records
I can't seem to find anyone else that has had this problem. I have double checked for all of the uploaded files.
Any advice?

FYI
I generate feeds for spain (spanish, euros) and the united kingdom (english, pounds stirling).
While the language and currency changes required are fairly obvious, what was not obvious (to me) is that the ids assigned to the products have to be unique (ie add a pre or suffix thats feed-unique). If not, the last upload overwrites the previous in the products list, even though its for a different country.
It took me a while to realise this as no errors are flagged by Google: that's my excuse.

Does the new v1.12.5 fix the duplicate Ids' for the different language feeds?
