Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[sash]

can someone please show me what im doing wrong ,, uploading the module isnt a problem,but as soon as i hit this bit,,

5.Go to Admin->Tools->Install SQL Patches and patch your database with install.sql by copying and pasting (If you encounter errors, try the upload option)

it gives the duplicate error,, its a clean install as it goes up without any overwrites to a file i might have left,,

ive done this to see if it helps with a new install

Working on a site and have upgraded to latest Google Merchant Center feeder. I've reinstalled the latest sql files without a problem. Have no errors of any kind.
Actual website is functioning normally.

Ran the feed and the Confirm shows the following:

I believe that it is not compatible with zen 1.3.7 and I have only seen one site on that version that wasn't hacked.

Upgrade zen cart!

Do you have two google feeds in admin/configuration? One called Google Base Feeder Configuration, and the other called Google Merchant Center Feeder Configuration? If so, use the second one to configure your feed.

I tried this too and reinstalled and got this message after sql

1062 Duplicate entry 'GOOGLE_PRODUCTS_DEFAULT_PRODUCT_CATEGORY' for key 2
in:

I got exactly the same message during installation. My feeds work fine. Have you tried to generate a feed to see what happens?

oops thank you I didn't see that as it was off the page ,once I had opened config I saw it at the bottom of the list .... I've made it the same as the other 1 and it produced a file (which is good)..will have to wait and see if it has uploaded and gone though to google now
I take it I can delete "Google Base Feeder Configuration" now as the other has taken over

thanks for prodding me in the right direction

i originally had the same problem with no products
i had to go through all the new version, and the old version(original files)
and then compare with my hosted session and delete ALL files that match with originals.
then run uninstall.sql
if u got phpmyadmin, log into that, goto configurationgroup
make sure googleconfig is removed from the configgroups
then
re-upload all files to hosting, then login to admin on website and goto install sql patches then run the install.sql(dont run the upgrade.sql's)
this should work
then you have replaced all the files incase one is corrupted during upload.
its all fresh
if this still fails then im nt too sure

Hey google merchant center requires as well known by now for apparel categories

these attributes:

age group attribute.
gender attribute
color attribute

These were not found in the latest froogle module correct ?

I mean everything else can be edited from the admin configure panel

But I dont see these there ?

Its already lot of work to add all these to my remaining listings
But how in earth you get these into my google_base.xml_products_en.xml feed to google

I changed them but the wont show in the feed


Anybody else feeding apparel products to google with similar problems ....

Cheers

Version 1.11.2 resolves this for your feed. You need to go in and create read-only attributes, then connect them to the items.

Instructions for adding attributes:

https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=57

Once the attributes are created, a lot of them can be added to all products in a category. Not as bad as one at a time.
