About what "mass edit" system you speak?

About what "mass edit" system you speak?

Well, there is this contribution, but as you can see, there are problems with it.
Plus the fact that you can't filter by category.

The problem for Zen Cart is that the customer side is fine (checkout excepted) but the admin side is hell if you have over a few products. I need to be able to delete or add or move or update more than one product at a time. Easypopulate is OK for half of this, but as for moving products, it takes TOO many clicks!

I just updated my froogle files from the latest contribution. All seemed to have worked. No errors were reported.

Now I did a search on Froogle and found out that my description got somehow screwed up. It reads like this:

Mini Apple Wax Melts6 scented apples in a cellophane bag                                          ...

What happend?

Andrew,

Right now I have v 1.2 21.04.2006 installed. If I want to upgrade to the latest version v 1.2.6 19.08.2006, What is the exact steps I need to follow? Thank you for your great mod.

Steve

Wow this is a long thread <rubs bloodshot eyes>...

If I missed the answers to these questions along the way, I apologize in advance.


1. Which version(s) of Zencart does the latest release of the mod work on?

2. Do you sign up for an account at froogle or google base, or both?


thank you,

betty

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..

It works on 1.2 and 1.3 versions. Have you tried to sign up for an account? I believe you can no longer sign up at Froogle.

Just uploaded to GoogleBase from my 1.26 shop using the latest v 1.2.6 19.08.2006 7:30 googlefroogle feed contribution. My language is english and default currency is GBP (although I accept USD & EUR also).

The feed has been rejected with the following comments:-
==================
1. Bad image_links: The image_links in your bulk upload are not working correctly. For example, the image_link for the item titled "Gift Certificate £5.00" does not work:

http://creationartisan.com/images/gv£5.gif

The correct image_link for this item is:

http://creationartisan.com/images/medium/gv%A35_MED.jpg

Please check that all the image_links in your bulk upload are working, or we will be unable to display your items' images.
==================
The links do actually work, but GoogleBase clearly doesn't like the "£" symbol, can the feed be automatically updated to replace "£" with "%A3"?


Second -
==================
2. Thumbnail images: Please include the largest images available for your items. If your images are less than 400 by 400 pixels, they will be enlarged, which will reduce the quality of your images. As a result, please make sure that your image URLs direct to full-sized images, rather than thumbnails. For example, the image URL for the item titled "Dry or Sensitive Skin Cream with Bergamot & Sandalwood" should be:

http://creationartisan.com/images/la...ma15ml_LRG.jpg

Instead of:

http://creationartisan.com/images/aroma15ml.gif
===================

I understand the logic of this one and I want my products to look their best, is it possible to have an option to force selection of a particular image size (I'm also using Tim Kroeger's Image-Handler v1.0-beta2 for Zen-Cart v1.2.6d contrib)

At the moment I'm manually updating the URLs.

Many thanks, Keith Adley

Googlefroogle work in zen-cart standarts procedures an does not support any 3D party contributions that break this standarts and zen-cart core logical.

Thanks Andrew, I figured that might be the case. I'll look to work something out for myself.
