Froogle Merchant Center merged into GoogleBase

[KADesign]

When I did my first feed after Google switched, I had over half of my products missing and a ton of errors. The next time I generated a Froogle file from admin, I clicked on save file as and saved it as a text file. I always did this prior to the change and simply locate and upload from Google. My file is small enough I can do that. But anyway...this time I made sure to pay attention to the encoding. I saved it with UTF-8 encoding and didn't have one single error.

Just thought I would add that in the event it may help someone else.

Good Luck!

In case I didn't explain myself well, I use one of the contributions that allow you to create the froogle file in the shop admin. You can then click on view file. When viewing the file you can go to file and then save file as. First choose the file name then the type and finally you choose the encoding. By clicking on ecoding you are shown a drop down menu giving you the options. I have included a screenshot.
I hope this helps.




Thanks,

Kelly, thanks for the idea about saving it as UTF 8. That significantly reduced my error. I will look more into the rejected products to see what's common with them.

Does anyone know where I will change the headings for the googlefroogle generator so that it uses the new heading instead of the old one?

Thanks!

if anyone cares to look @ my original post on this topic, i have modified the froogle feeder to outpu using google base's new field headings, however, the feed isnt UTF-8 compatible..... this was the case before i modified the headings.....

i am waiting to see if anyone can correct this issue, if they can its a case of uploading this one new file, and you can use froogle feeder with google base.

I've been awaiting Andrew (a_berezin) to follow-up on this but I don't see him on the support forums anymore.

Appears than many of the international based Zen Cart mod developers have been scared off. This is most unfortunate.

I believe the file you modified is Tim's Froogle generator file not Andrew's GoogleFroogle which what we are interested in.

Thanks!

I have a problem that I seem not to be able to fix or find information on fixing it. I have right now 1042 products, and I add more every day, When I use the addon only 1000 are added to the xml feed.

Is there a way to fix this to add all my products?

Here is the link to my xml file if this helps http://www.gear-mart.com/store/feed/...t_products.xml .

I thank you for any help.

This is already discussed in the official thread of the Google Base Feeder.
