well, you must have old settings in the database.

If you run the uninstall file and still get the duplicate error messages - here's the full scoop of how to get rid of the old stuff - from a previous post of mine:

Using phpmyadmin or similar interface, first, look at your configuration groups table and find the one for the feeder. Note the group id for it.

Then go to the configuration table. Do a search for that group id and then delete what shows up. You can also then delete that group id in the groups table.

Suggestion though: also do a search in the config table for a group id of 0. If you have results, check to see if any of those look like they are for the feeder. If so , delete them. If you have others, they also may need deleting. Having a group id of 0 means those settings don't show up in the admin and are usually from botched installs.

Hi,

Does anyone know the solution to the 'Availability' error? I have the following settings:


Show Quantity: true
Include Zero Quantity: false
Default Quantity: 0

Sales have decreased since google changed their feed

No one is reporting an error with those settings - is it giving you a warning for all products for availability?

what version of googlebase feeder?

[spiggles87]

Hello,

Thanks for the reply,

I have the 1.10.2 version of the feed.

The error I am receiving is the following:

Missing required attribute: availability (250 errors, only affecting Product Search, Search API for Shopping)

Thanks in advance!

I don't know that I've tried it with the zero quantity turned off so try it that way.

A word to the wise as well:

I've found it easy to end up thinking I'm uploading the changed feed to google when in fact, it's the wrong feed, the cron job didn't run when I thought, I interrupted the export, didn't realize or forgot the feed name had changed between google feeder versions etc.

So when in doubt, also check the feed file date in ftp to see if it's the feed you think you exported. Then make sure that's the one uploading to Google.

Hello!

Thank you so much,

I checked the feed google was taking from zen cart and it was the wrong feed. I uploaded the new feed from the 1.10.2 version manually and it worked a treat Thank You!!

This is some excellent information and may explain why several people haven't been able to solve the availability attribute problem in spite of having the correct settings.

I do have attributes for text so only use 2 of them
