mydanilo, you've made the error that was highlighted multiple times in the new documentation as well as the official forum.

NOTICE

The parameters passed to googlefroogle.php have changed, please update your cron commands accordingly.

Ok Ok, yes I found it a few posts back. BUT noting is mentioned in the doc link you had with the mod.

...would have helped and reduced questions here in the forum.

Part of the info in this forum, your forum, the doc link... oh well should not complain. Sometimes just hard to find to find the trees in the forest I guess.

Thank you for the mod!!

I feel I have to apologize. I looked in my admin and the google base feeder page clearly has the new cron job examples listed. Oh well, I guess it just looked so the same to me.

So anyway, I will post the result tomorrow. Hopefully it will work now.

For everybody blind like me, this is how cron should be set now for v1.7:

To have this update and automatically upload product feed to Google Base, you will need to set up a Cron job via your host's control panel.
To run it as a cron job (i.e. at 5:00 am), put something in your crontab like the following:

0 5 * * * GET http://www.yourdomain.com/googlefroo...?feed=fy_uy_tp (other types: td for documents, tn for news)
or
0 5 * * * wget http://www.yourdomain.com/googlefroo...?feed=fy_uy_tp

1.7 with the suggested wget command works fine now. Thank you.
