Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[blakdeth77]

The feed directory is empty except the index file that I put in there. Is it possible that the google sitmap install that I installed a while back is casue issue? I ran all 13 updates in the sql updates directory, then ran the update_1_7_1.sql update that was in main directory. Then I had error when I tryied to run the googlefroogle.sql. Was this the correct procedure?

Thanks for any help I can get!

Actually I believe there may have been a misinterpretation of the directions here. If you had begun this installation with no previous installation of the google feed, then you should only have copied and pasted the contents of the googlefroogle.sql file to your "SQL Updates" window so that only those commands are run on your database. The other update files are for those users wishing to upgrade their previous installation to version 1.7.1 . I would recommend (as long as this is a new installation for you) that you follow the uninstallation directions included with this release, and start over again.

If you have data already in your database, this might not be easy, or maybe you'd like to have someone familiar with MySQL databases look at the files you installed, and see if they can create a custom backup for you so that the tables can be re populated once the uninstall and reinstall is finished.

I did backup the database before I ran all the updates. But I did not switch back to the backup once I got the error. Now I have a bunch of sales that I would lose the information on. Database seems to work okay still but doesn't look like I will have google feeds. Is there any other methods to send products over to google base?

What did you set in:
Google Base Feeder Configuration?

Output File Name: modern1furniture_
try to just set to modern1furniture

This should write a modern1furniture_products.xml to your /feed directory

Let me know what happens if you run it again:

Google Base Feeder
Create Product Feed: Click [HERE] to create / update your products feed.

And you might try to use google_base_feeder1.7
I think the version v.1.7.0A is the one you want. You can still get it here:
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=473
just scroll down a bit.

This version works for me best. Newer ones gave me troubles. Some older 1.6x ones gave me strange results in the past.

Give it a shot...

If it works fine, feel free to upgrade to the latest version and try again. My results were just the most predictable for my sites with 1.7.

Yes, there are other methods to list your products on google base, but either they are too time consuming if you have a lot of products, or they are more technically advanced. If you'd like me to help you do the uninstall, I'd try my best to re-word the instructions, or possibly use msn messenger to let me remotely view your screen or something like that. I could point out to you where to perform what measures to go through the uninstall process, and then try to get a clean installation. just PM me with your email address or msn login and we can set up a time to meet online.

This person needs to remove the Google Base configuration keys with a group_id of 0 from the database. Then run the uninstall.sql file and then re-patch with googlefroogle.sql.

I don't think anything should be using configuration_group_id=0. So a quick method could be to simply do something like this:

DELETE FROM `configuration` WHERE `configuration_group_id` = 0; 

Don't do this unless the Zen Cart developer's have confirmed that nothing should be using that id.

Checkin' on it...
