Maybe I can help there. The Amazon Product Ads Upload File template might help to identify what is needed. I've put it my drop box for you to look at:

Or the Google Merchant Center Feeder, or Amazon Inventory Loader from Numinix could shed some light to what is needed.

It just would be great to have the ability to generate a usable feed from this mod.

Looking a bit further into what the sample feed looks like, it should not be too difficult to just hand match the headers up with what I get from the regular full export of my product listing. I shall give it a shot and post my findings.

Matching up header is not too difficult but I've discovered that I don't have the products URL in my exported file. I need this for the Amazon feed. Any suggestion how this could be added to the exported file?

Are you using standard ZC URIs? Regardless would want an additional $row[] to receive the uri, then some point after most/all of the data has been collected, within the while loop for the row data, construct a standard uri, say possibly with the zen_href_link function.

Few functions to help build the uri:
Zen_get_info_page($prodID) returns the portion of: main_page=
Zen_get_product_path($prodID) to get the cPath as cat1_cat2_cat3.
And then would concatenate the products_id= with $prodID
I think though the cat number is already a part of the data, the info_page can be obtained through the above function and the $page that is applicable for the zen_href_function is FILENAME_DEFAULT.

So uri:

$new_uri = HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . zen_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT, 'main_page='. zen_get_info_page($prodID) .'&cPath='. zen_get_product_path($prodID)  .'&products_id='.$prodID,,false);

The false is to prevent adding the session_id onto the uri.

I use Ceon URI Mapping module, do you think that will work? Where would I have to put the above code please?

All I really need is the URI added to the export file. The rest I can map myself manually with the Amazon template.

I have a version of EP4 that does that on my website, but if you look in the export file in your admin folder, in the section that checks if the ep_dltype is full, I would put it somewhere after the product id is assigned. The variable names may be different, and I think you'd have to assign a new filelayout item to end up with the data exported to the file. I'm working from memory at the moment, so I may have missed something, but that's the jest of it.

As far as CEON URIs, those going to the uri generated from the above code will end up seeing the CEON URI equivalent, but I do not know the effect of say "rankings" of providing the ZC standard uri for uris that are rewritten to a more human understandable version.
