Google Merchant Center Feeder for ZC v1.5.x [Support Thread]

[Gerjan]

Hi All! I searched here, on the 1.3.x and Numinix forum but can't find an answer (althought the problem has been mention there )

Here's my debug:

[10-May-2012 22:09:37] PHP Warning:  fopen(/***/public_html/module_version/google_merchant_center_feeder.txt) [<a href='function.fopen'>function.fopen</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in ***/public_html/includes/classes/google_base.php on line 81

[10-May-2012 22:09:37] PHP Warning:  fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /***/public_html/includes/classes/google_base.php on line 83

From what I understand it says that "public_html/module_version/google_merchant_center_feeder.txt" is missing. But this file can not be found in the downloaded package (both ZC and Numinix downloads).

Forgive me if I did not see the answer if it's already somewhere....

I am having this problem

Zen 1.50 running 1.13.0

Files were trying to be generated so it just hangs.
So I tried making smaller file. It worked.
Called my Server company. Aparently they say the process took so much resources
that they shut down my cpu usage when it runs.
Someone suggested I optimize my database ( so I did)
When I ran the program again. It gave me an error

Ok 1st I dont seem to have this file.... Is this included? Or a conflict?

I have yet to find an answer to that question and I've dealt directly with the people who wrote it.

I have yet to find an answer to that question and I've dealt directly with the people who wrote it.

Just a suggestion to all who've reported this error.. Have you tried creating this file, and uploading it to the place where it's expected to be based on the error??? I would think that a simple text file with the version number in it is all that's needed. Because when I do a Google search for "module_version/google_merchant_center_feeder.txt", I was able to see these files on other sites..

Ok I tried doing that. It looks like that error went away.

Now I get this one:

[22-May-2012 17:38:12 UTC] PHP Warning: constant() [<a href='function.constant'>function.constant</a>]: Couldn't find constant in /home/XXXX/public_html/XXXXX/includes/functions/admin_access.php on line 39

[milobloom]

Oh I forgot to add that I do get the same error when trying to run a product feed.

Then I went to the cache folder and saw

[22-May-2012 17:38:12 UTC] PHP Warning: constant() [<a href='function.constant'>function.constant</a>]: Couldn't find constant in /home/XXXX/public_html/XXXXX/includes/functions/admin_access.php on line 39

In 1.13.0 a call was added to a function to add additional images into the feed.

After quite some time seeing 404 errors in my server logs while googlebot was looking for images in the images root instead of subdirectories, I eventually find the problem here.

So, for those of you with additional images (most people I imagine) have a look at your feed to see if the image path is correct for additional images. It should be already correct for the base image.

If you find the additional images link to be pointing to /images/myimage01.jpg instead of /images/mysubdirectory/myimage_01.jpg (deliberate underscore: http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?100), here is my fix.

Rather than just fix what was broke, I took at look at the whole function and tried to improve it, and add comments for the terminally curious like me.

So, in /classes/google_base.php at the start of the file, replace the entire function:

function additional_images($products_image) {
      if ($products_image != '') {
        $images_array = array();
        // prepare image name
        $products_image_extension = substr($products_image, strrpos($products_image, '.'));
        $products_image_base = str_replace($products_image_extension, '', $products_image);

        // if in a subdirectory
        if (strrpos($products_image, '/')) {
          $products_image_match = substr($products_image, strrpos($products_image, '/')+1);
          $products_image_match = str_replace($products_image_extension, '', $products_image_match) . '_';
          $products_image_base = $products_image_match;
        }

        $products_image_directory = str_replace($products_image, '', substr($products_image, strrpos($products_image, '/')));
        if ($products_image_directory != '') {
          $products_image_directory = DIR_WS_IMAGES . str_replace($products_image_directory, '', $products_image) . "/";
        } else {
          $products_image_directory = DIR_WS_IMAGES;
        }

        // Check for additional matching images
        $file_extension = $products_image_extension;
        $products_image_match_array = array();
        if ($dir = @dir($products_image_directory)) {
          while ($file = $dir->read()) {
            if (!is_dir($products_image_directory . $file)) {
              if (substr($file, strrpos($file, '.')) == $file_extension) {
                if(preg_match("/" . $products_image_base . "/i", $file) == 1) {
                  if ($file != $products_image) {
                    if ($products_image_base . str_replace($products_image_base, '', $file) == $file) {
                      $images_array[] = $this->google_base_image_url($file);
                      if (count($images_array) >= 8) break;
                    } else {
                      //  no match
                    }
                  }
                }
              }
            }
          }
          $dir->close();
        }
        return $images_array;
      } else {
        // default
        return false;
      }
    } 

with this

    function additional_images($products_image) {//eg. image_subdirectory/myimage.jpg
      if ($products_image != '') {
        $images_array = array();
        // prepare image name
        $products_image_extension = substr($products_image, strrpos($products_image, '.'));//get the extension
        $products_image_base = str_replace($products_image_extension, '', $products_image);//strip extension to get the (optional path and) base filename
        $products_image_directory = str_replace(substr($products_image, strrpos($products_image, '/')), '',$products_image);//get the subdirectory path
        
         if (strrpos($products_image_base, '/')) {//is the image in a subdirectory?
             $products_image_base = substr($products_image_base, strrpos($products_image, '/')+1).'_';//strip the path and add the underscore: see http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?100
             $products_image_directory = $products_image_directory.'/';
        }

        $products_image_match_array = array();
        if ($dir = @dir(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $products_image_directory)) {
          while ($file = $dir->read()) {
          if (!is_dir(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $products_image_directory . $file)) {
            if ($file != $products_image) {//ignore the primary image
             if (preg_match("/" . $products_image_base . "/i", $file) == 1) {//does this filename contain the image base filename?
              if ($products_image_base . str_replace($products_image_base, '', $file) == $file) {//does this filename start with image base_?
                if (substr($file, strrpos($file, '.')) == $products_image_extension) {//does it have the same extension as the image base? 
                    $file = $products_image_directory.$file;//add subdirectory path to filename for subsequent function call
                    if (GOOGLE_PRODUCTS_DEBUG == 'true') {echo 'google_base 36:additional image found $file='.$file.'<br />';}//debug
                    $images_array[] = $this->google_base_image_url($file);//this function needs image_subdirectory/myimage.jpg
                      if (count($images_array) >= 8) break;//only 10 images allowed by Google
                    } else {
                      //  no match
                    }
                  }
                }
              }
            }
          }
          $dir->close();
        }
        return $images_array;
      } else {
        // default
        return false;
      }
    }

I have had the same problems with this mod since I upgraded to 1.5.0. I created the google_merchant_center_feeder.txt and now my error log shows this:

[26-Oct-2012 10:51:35] PHP Warning: fread() [<a href='function.fread'>function.fread</a>]: Length parameter must be greater than 0 in /home/danielos/public_html/includes/classes/google_base.php on line 82
