Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[fvb]

Sorry to take so long to reply fvb, but I have only just got roung to looking at this again, as important as it is to me.

Yes, a file was created and it looks ok to me.

I had thought that my problem was that I was trying to link into the google base account that was linked to my name rather than the website. I have sorted this out with goole and also created an new ftp account. When I went to upload my login failed about 8 times out of 10. Logging in to view the feed has been equally problematic, although I have just started getting in. It is reporting 0 uploads though!! (Mind you, I have only just uploaded)

So, I still don't do where I am.

Any advice would be apreciated.

Philip

it takes my feed about 30-60 min to show up after a upload

I have never had problems login into google, you may want to try starting a brand new account

skip the ftp for now and use the manual web upload, till you get it working
(this will take one more thing out of the equation and also give you error messages to help trouble shoot the problems

First, sorry if this has been discussed before. I used Search and it only pointed out this thread, but not which page on the thread. I don't have the time to read through over 50 pages...

I just installed the G Base patch. Since I'm running ZenCart 1.37, I used patch v1.5.3, the last one listed as compatible with Zen 1.3.7. After pasting in the content of googlefroogle.sql, I got this response:

8 statements processed.
ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "" because it already exists
Note: 1 statements ignored. See "upgrade_exceptions" table for additional details.

The upgrade_exceptions table shows this record:

upgrade_exception_id: 1
sql_file: SQLPATCH
reason: Cannot insert configuration_key "" because it already exists
errordate: 2008-06-03 22:37:09
sqlstatement: INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_id, configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES

As a result, Admin -> Configuration -> Google Base Feeder Configuration only shows an empty table with columns Title/Value/Action and no content and Admin -> Tools -> Google Base Feeder brings PHP errors when clicking on the links in Step 1 and Step 2.

What can I do? Thanks!

I know this has been ask, but I have read through the first 20 pages of this thread without finding the answer. Google base tells me that
Error
We didn't understand the header (first) row of your file. Please make sure you're using valid attribute names. help

Bad data<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

Line #1

Could someone point me in the right direction. Thank you

is the file name right that you uploaded to google, including the extention (.xml)

[countrycharm]

Thank you for your help [B]fvb. This is what my header in the file looks like.


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:g="http://base.google.com/ns/1.0">
<channel>

It's name is domain_products.xml

Is this right? If it is then I don't know why Google is rejecting it.

if domain_products.xml is the name that you are generating with the google feeder, thant that is the name you have to register with google

they have to match

I'm getting this too, as well as on the Google Sitemap Admin contrib.

I have run the uninstall sql too.

My google feed failed in style today. It is a feed on my test site www.pleasuredisc.co.uk and has been working away every day without failure until today. I have attached below the failure results as per the google site report and would appreciate it if anyone can help with this. A further annoyance is that I also installed this mod on a client's site yesterday and got the same failures today so it is not site related as far as I can see.

Many thanks - and if I have been a proper muppet in doing something wrong then I bow to that in advance :)

My test site has 7 items but clearly I have only shown the result for one of them as they are all the same failure.
