Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[limelites]

There's a pretty good readme file with this mod that explains the set up process step by step by step.

Open the readme file and go through each step meticulously.

It sounds like you don't even have a Google Base account yet!? Read the step by step install guide which explains how to open an account and also how to configure it correctly.

Do this and you'll get it working... You need to know your account details (Google Base FTP Password and Google Base FTP Username) so that you can output a txt file to upload to google base.

i know pretty good about read me file and always read this twice before whine on forums. this file are complete unclear ... i try to explain, probably you misunderstanding me:

look, please, at this screen of admin panel>conf>GBF conf

than according user manual file:

1. Unzip and upload all files to your store directory (except .sql files); DONE! IT IS CLEAR.

2. Chmod feed directory to 777 DONE! IT IS CLEAR.

3. Go to Admin->Tools->Install SQL Patches and install googlefroogle.sql by copying and pasting (do not upload); DONE! IT IS CLEAR.

4. Go to http://base.google.com and create/sign to your account. Follow the link on the right hand side of their website to create your FTP account. DONE! IT IS CLEAR.

5. Go to Admin->Configuration->Google Base Configuration and setup all parameters; DONE! IT IS CLEAR.

6. Register your bulk upload .xml file using the same name in your Google Base Configuration at base.google.com FAILED! IT IS UNCLEAR! According to my screen there are no any lines for same name. Or there is any other configuration options??? What kind of same name he talking about? My feed file name is "omfgsamename.xml" on which field i should enter it, frankly speaking i can not find any suitable.

7. Go to Admin->Tools>Google Base Feeder and follow instructions to create, view, and upload feed file. FIALED. When i click on Create Product Feed: Click [HERE] to create / update your products feed - GOES nothing - plugin generates new pop-up blank window with none content or any kind of text, steps or other info, tested on 3 different browsers.

So it even do not creates product feed ...

So, please, could anybody help me with this problem i am stuck 2 days ahead. i will be thankful for ages. thanks in advance.

It seems half of the installation I tried helping another ZC forum poster with went well. I can view and make changes to the configuration page for the feeder program, but yet I cannot find the listing under the Admin > Tools category. Can anyone tell me what file is missing or where it should be to get the Google Base Feeder option to show up?

Thanks!

Make sure that you copied files direct into your custom admin folder on the server. Your custom admin folder ex.: "myadmin" can differ from default one "admin" from plugin folder tree.

hope it will help

Tell me about it!! I had this exact same problem and it took me almost a day to suss it out!! I'd renamed my ADMIN folder fr security reasons and hadn't even thought about it as I was that used to just dragging and dropping the folders into site/root ....

Basically, rename ADMIN to match YOURADMIN before uploading it :-)

Hi there,

I installed the most recent version of this and am having some issues with it. For some reason, the HTML tags are not being removed from the product descriptions. I'm seeing all the <b>, <p> etc tags in the "Description" field for the XML file and it's causing it to be seen as invalid.

Any thoughts?

thanks

Hi im also having problems but ive managed to get the system to generate a datafeed for me but can not upload it and dont know how to manually add it to google base.

To manually add it to google base do i open the datafeed by going to the url then copy it and paste it into notepad and save as a xml?

cheers

Hi - I installed this today and I think everything went ok, but when I create my feed it only gives me one record. I have over 1,000 thousand items in my store.

The problem with the html tags not being removed, I have the same problem with one or two items. I just keep going through them looking for what is out of place, as it is normally something you have in your description causing the problem. Speech marks was my problem for most of them but I still have a few other items that I have to find the tag I should not be using.

Hope that helps
