Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[snowkrash]

does the google base feeder mod work with the ultimate seo mod.

What urls are uploaded in the feed? are they seo friendly urls or zencarts original urls.

many thanks

I actually have these exact questions to answer before I install. Anyone?

Thank you!

numinix,

I'm sorry but I had googlefroogle working perfect until I installed the SEO URLs package. I'm not quite sure what's going on but I keep getting this error ("ERROR: yes is not a valid feed template") when trying to create my feed. I'm using the 1.6.17 version of your mod and the latest SEO URLs mod. But i can't seem to get rid of this.

any help would be appreciated Thanks,

Sorry about any confusion I might have caused. I found out that the problem I was having was because of the conflicting Wordpress on Zencart modification and the Google Base Feeder and had nothing to do with the SEO mod.

Again sorry for any confusion

cheers,

I have had a cron job running for a few months now, and it worked great

GET 'http://www.shoepeddlers.com/googlefroogle.php?feed=yes&upload=yes&type=products' > /dev/null 2>&1

The file created was shoepeddlers_products.xml and all product were listed

My hosting company switched to a new server
the difference is
apache 2 as compared to 1.3.9
more cpus
more ram
more speed and better security
and a new version of cpanel

now the cron would not run untill I changed it to use “WGET”
now it runs, but it saves the files to shoepeddlers_.xml and no products are listed
the contence of the files is just this

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

I’ve been work with the hosting company, but we can’t seem to figure it out.

Any suggestions please

I'm having the exact same problem as fvb:

...it saves the files to shoepeddlers_.xml and no products are listed...

My host uses CPanel as well; my cron cmd line:

curl -s http://your_http_catalog/googlefroogle.php?feed=yes&upload=no&type=products

What am I missing?

Following up on this cron job problem: I have the same thing with the output file in /feed. It just creates myfilename_.xml instead myfilename_products.xml exactly as described in the quote. Now I checked my google base account and the file lists as successfully uploaded by the cron at the specified time and products were inserted. Strange, but somehow it still works even if the local file does not get created the way I expected, the upload of ALL products worked.

wget works for my cpanel. File in /feed does not show correctly. Upload and insertion of all products in google base works. Don't know why this is. Anybody see the same happening?
