Have you got wordpress module installed at all as I had the same thng happen.

oh really? jeez. glad to have an answer.

unfortunately the wordpress module is essential, so i guess i'll just do the xml file by hand!

You can try the fix posted earlier in the thread. I'm not sure how it affects wordpress though...

Quick question ( is there such a thing??lol!)

I created a feed file today. The expiration date looks like this:

<g:expiration_date>2008-09-07</g:expiration_date>

Does this mean it will expire today??

Also what does this option in the admin mean?

"Expiration Date Adjust"

[marvin]

just found the googlebase details for each field in the file and it shows that this is the expiration for this item.

How do I set it to be a date in the future?????????????

Where in the admin do I do this??

Thanks

Why don't you read your first post a little more carefully. Or give me a nobel prize for time travel :)

Configuration is done from the admin->configuration->google base feeder configuration.

Yes, Numinix "2008", sometimes the obvious is not so obvious to tired eyes.
At the same time facetious comments do not answer the questions I asked.
I already found the answers to my questions in that post. i would have rather given you a Nobel prize for helping me out with my problem.

Now, let's start fresh.

Can ANYONE tell me what are the CORRECT permissions for images folder so Google base can access it. Ive read through a number of posts but still dont know the answer. Most of the discussion concern using other contribution.

I uploaded my files to Google Base and everything works EXCEPT no images, just placeholders. Google tech said he gets an 403 error for my images.

Read carefully again and you will notice I answered your question as well in that short post...

installed the latest but when i go to create feed i get this error

Attachment 2627

any idea's

[numinix]

Firstly, you are missing some admin definitions which is why the CONSTANT name is displaying rather than your feed name.

Secondly, the language you have entered in the Google configuration was not found and that is why you had the SQL error. If you're site is English, make sure this is left as English, etc.

I had some trouble with this module in that after the upgrade ( I think I skipped about 10 versions ) everytime I tried to create the xml file it would run but say 0 records were processed. I had no constraints at all.

I finally traced the problem down to mismatching file names. I was originally using a custome filename of cycle.xml and after the uninstall/reinstall it defaulted the name in the configuration to something else. I figured that it wasn't a big deal and just created the new file and tried to run the process. Unfortunately the process tried to use the old file (which still existed by the way) and reported that it had process 0 records. After I changed the filename in the configuration back to my custom name of cycle.xml it worked fine.

I just thought I would post this in case anyone else has had this problem and posted a solution. I tried reading the entire thread but got about half-way through and was wondering if it would ever end. So I skipped to the end and read the last three pages.

As to the actual upgrade itself there were no issues at all, I received a couple of permission errors, but those were my own fault; I was very impressed.
