Froogle Merchant Center merged into GoogleBase

[Woodymon]

Received a message from The Google Team stating to now submit Froogle bulk upload files (formerly known as product feeds) to GoogleBase. Froogle Merchant Center is no more, but Froogle is still available. Sounds like Froogle and GoogleBase will eventually become one and the same.

I'm hoping both Tim's and Andrew's Froogle feed modules will continue to work.

For now everything still works file as file as the file that is generated and uploaded. The only change is that we now upload to a new server: uploads.google.com. The same username and password still works. You can also upload from GoogleBase interface if your feed is less than 10MB

And now we can use four formats: Tab-delimited, RSS 2.0, RSS 1.0, and Atom 0.3.
I think to support only Tab-delimited and RSS 2.0 formats. And add optionally attribute support.

right...

froogle feeder has stoped working correctly for me, and is sating that my files are not utf-8 compatible....

some of the fields have changed on googlebase, so i have adapted the frooglefeeder to adopt these new field headings, but am struggling on the utf-8 bits...

any ideas people ?

Big changes on how the adds are showing up on Froogle also. Really has negatively affected sales for me. Time to study.

We had 154 error (none before this change) when uploading our Froogle File Generator file to Google Base

Is anyone addressing this???

Thanks

Okay I just added the Google/Froogle mod to my site and this is the error message Im getting:

started... Connection failed: uploads.google.com Upload failed...
2013 Lost connection to MySQL server during query
in:
[select count(*) as total from sessions where sesskey = 'a800b4c4e02b7cf1b742b0c6d121f485']

What have I done wrong? Thanks..

Got it installed right after a month.. It created the .txt file.. When I upload it I get this:
Froogle Data Feeder started 2006/10/17 21:16:57 Feed file - /home2/lhhgbh1/public_html/feed/froogle.txt Upload started... Upload Failed Connected to: uploads.google.comLogin ok:Current Directory Is: /Warning: ftp_put() [function.ftp-put]: Opening ASCII mode data connection for froogle.txt.
Upload failed...

Anyone know whats wrong?

Don't know if you've tried it since and got the same result, but Google Base was down for maintenance last night for a few hours - I tried a feed then too and got an error (although a different one from yours). It went through just now fine.

I just tried it and it says succesful, so I went straight into my Google Base to view items and they werent there yet.. How long does it take to show the upload accepted or the items to appear because when I go into my Bulk upload section it doesnt even show that it received the upload.. The uploading from a website is new to me, I have done submissions directly to Base before.. Thanks for the tip.. Glad I went back and did it..
