Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

Can I take the liberty of running 1.10.2 directly after 1.8.3 for another website?

I was running 1.7.4 on one of my sites and I updated directly. Worked fine.

Yeah, me too on a couple sites. If you're upgrading GOOGLE MERCHANT FEEDER, then no, I wouldn't uninstall fisrt.

But if you're running GOOGLE BASE (FROOGLE) FEEDER, I would uninstall. Then install GOOGLE MERCHANT FEEDER.

But I would take a couple screenshots of the configuration first so I don't have to look up all the settings again.

After adding gender and age group via attributes to my store items, I still do not see them in my feed. Is there a setting that I am missing in admin or something. I chose radio buttons for the type and I am running Zen Cart 1.3.9h and GMCF 1.10.3.

I've been working on the same thing. One step I haven't gotten to yet, creating stock id's. I'll let you know if it helps, once I get it done. I have four variables I'm trying to add.

Do I have to download another add on to get these Stock ID's or is there somewhere to assign them in the admin?

Looks like it would be this:

At least that's the way it currently reads on the change log. Pretty huge contribution. I may hold off and see what happens? Unless others have another suggestion? I may just stick with Google / Bing search and not worry about Google Shopping yet, at least for this one site?

The change log says:
Notes:
This version only partially satisfies the new requirements set out by Google which will come into effect on September 22nd, 2011. In particular, all of the variant attributes for apparel are not yet supported. To prepare for the next update, begin making "read-only" attributes in your Zen Cart admin and set the option name to the name of the variant attribute (i.e. Age Group, Material, Size, Color, Pattern, Gender, etc). The final version of our module will require Stock by Attributes (SBA) to be installed and stock IDs to be created for each of the product variations that you offer. A bug in SBA prevents us from moving forward with this plan due to the fact that read-only attributes cannot be used with SBA. We are working on our own version of SBA which we will continue to support through the Numinix.com website as soon as it is ready, The Google Merchant Center Feeder will automatically begin using these attributes.

However, if you set up these attributes to NOT be read-only and create stock IDs for all of your combinations including these attributes, GMCF will automatically begin using them in version 1.10.2.
