Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

Well, today's the Google deadline. Anybody having any problems that just started today? I'm not seeing anything new.

Not seeing anything in my feeds or client's feeds.

Guess I am missing something. Installed the latest version 1.10.2. Feed goes up fine and only 2 errors, one is brand. Since this is a custom made non-brand item will likely have to get an exemption from google.

The other error is "missing product category". I read thru the thread here and everyone says "enter in the category via google product category default entry". I don't see a product category default entry. I only see product type and default product type, included categories and excluded categories. Those are the only things remotely related to categories showing in the configuration.

It seems if you have 2 or more variants types e.g. colour, size it is only adding one of them to the title. Google is saying this is duplication.
Any idea how to make both add?

Did you run the sql update?

[bluetooth]

Just updated from 1.8.2 to 1.10.2.
I did an uninstall sql, then installed the latest sql for 1.10.2.
I set up my configuration file, then launched it and I get "Google Merchant Center File Complete In 67.974554 Seconds 0 of 2470 Records "
I can also see that the out file name it created is domain_products_en.xml which does not match with what I put in the configuration file.
Can someone point me in the right direction to correct this? It seems like google feeder is not linking up with my configuration file.

[delia]

If you mean your export file when you say configuration - this version changes the name of the output file - adding the en into it. You can change the domain part inside your config settings in admin.

Under Google Base Feeder Configuration, I changed the Output File Name to "floors", but it's still creating "domain_products_en.xml.
This is why I am not sure it's seeing my configuration file.

You may be confusing the attribute Product Type with Google Product Category. Leave Default Product Type empty, set Product Type to "top", and fill in Default Product Category with the correct entry from the Google Taxonomy.

Except there is no "default product category". I applied the update, even uninstalled the script and reinstalled it from scratch. The default product category shows to be in the database but not in the front end configuration.
