Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[Stuff4Toys]

Tried searching for this, but looks like the search engine doesn't like Â

Several of my site feeds have been rejected due to format errors, finnaly downloaded Notepad++ instead of TextPad and it became immediately evident that the rejected items all had  many times in the Description of the item.

Not sure why it wad there, it appears that it might be there from html description like text format codes. Bold or Font Color???

any help is appreciated, beats having to download and search and replace before manually uploading.

I must be using an older version or a different mod, I have a googlefroogle.php

Is this the same mod, or should I uninstall and install the latest version?

You can check your version under a file called numinix_version. It will tell you which version you installed.

I have the lastest and I needed to make to changes so that alien language and quotes were acceptable for google feeds.

It's google_base.php (includes/classes). Try fixing that.

Personally, I think it is best to do those two (2) fixes. Just my opinion.

Hope that helps.

How is your cron set-up?

How many times within a 24 hour period?

Thanks.

I haven't set it up yet on my server but in merchant center it is set up every month.. I do have a sitemap mod - that pings to various search engines - don't know if this is causing any repetitions but sounds strange. Any thoughts?

_thanks

Thanks for pointing out this file.

Question? Can I cause it to convert quot; with "

Can I do the following in line 189?

$str = utf8_encode(str_replace(array("&reg;", "&copy;", "&trade;", "&nbsp;", "quot;"), array('(r)', '(c)', '(tm)', ' ', '"'), $str));

or will that muck things up?
