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

[DrByte]

The Hosting company charges us to continue the older version of PHP until we can get the upgrade completed to the new Zencart. Any other ideals?

I think the froogle plugin is not compatible with latest PHP. So that'll need to be fixed. Perhaps someone maintaining the plugin will help with that.
But then the bigger issue is that you've also got the same problem that your old Zen Cart is not compatible with the new PHP either. So you should be putting a focus on upgrading immediately, or make arrangements with your hosting company to downgrade to older less-secure unsupported PHP versions.

We are working to get the new version of zencart but we are running into a lot of issue trying to convert the data into the new database. Been working on it for months. Anybody know of a support team that we can use to just complete the upgrade for us?

Probably a good idea to start a discussion thread in the Upgrading section, and explain what your issues are ... because the Zen Cart zc_install tool automatically converts the data in the database .... so your comment suggests there's some misunderstandings happening that are causing you unnecessary trouble. Start a separate discussion for that so we can work through it.

months to convert a DB? while the DB conversion process "may" throw some errors depending on any plugins installed and "modifications", i would think its hardly a project worthy of months of work. updating any plugins as well as modifications to the new base ZC code is a different story, but all dependent on modified your cart is to start with.

as far as recommending a support team to complete the upgrade, there are plenty of people on this board if you just spend a little time to look.

good luck.

Hi

I use Google merchant Feeder and so far so good. But every now and then (every other month), Google disapprove our products off their Merchant feed. What they seem to be tripping over is that the add the currency and language as a suffix on the end of every URL. so:

http://ourwebsite.com/our-categpry/o...n&currency=GBP

Which is enough to sway them. I appreciate that the feed should be checked on a regular basis in case of errors, but is there a way we can fix something so trivial?

What's annoying is that I have declared these already.

I have recently added Ultiate URLs, but this problem existed even when the URLs were in their natural form.

I worship any help.

Look at the feed, every URL has ths added. I can only assume it is because of the settings declared under Configuration> Google merchant feeder configuration

I have turned this off and will go from there.
