Those are illegal characters that the googlefroogle.php file has turned into the A type characters. Open your xml file in a text editor and copy the character and then paste it into the editor's search function so you can replace with the correct character.

This is a bug in this contribution's script. I have the same problem and it takes extra steps to find all of the invalid characters.

I have tried to resolve this before, it lies in the sanitizer function in the googlefroogle.php file. Hopefully Numinix will get this resolved. If I fix it I will post the new file here.

To follow on my last post, the googlefroogle file is stripping all quotes from my products and we have many products with quotes. Not only that, but if there is an

"

in there the the sanitizer will strip the & leaving only quot;.

I have brought this bug up before but haven't received any fix for it. Does anyone know what needs to be changed in the sanitizer function? It's mostly regular expressions and I don't know enough about them yet to make the correct changes. I will spend some time learning what the code is doing so I can change it if no one else knows what the change.

What it needs to do is change the " to

"

and leave the existing

"

untouched.

Anyone???

Thank you for your response. When I did a search when in admin in the developer's tools. It shows in:

admin/image handler.php
Line #438 : <option value="GBP">£ (GBP)</option>

Line #441 : <option value="JPY">Â¥ (JPY)</option>

includes/classes/support/phpmailer.lang-ja.php
Line #13 : $PHPMAILER_LANG["execute"] = '¼Â¹Ô¤Ç¤##¤Þ¤»¤ó¤Ç¤·¤¿: ';

Line #20 : $PHPMAILER_LANG["connect_host"] = 'SMTP¥¨¥é¡¼: SMTP¥Û¥¹¥È¤ËÀܳ¤Ç¤##¤Þ¤»¤ó¤Ç¤·¤¿¡£';

Line #19 : $PHPMAILER_LANG["file_access"] = 'Â äîñòóïå ê ñëåäóþùåìó ôàéëó áûëî îòêàçàíî: ';


Or are you referring to the google file - /feed/froogle_documents.xml?
What about the other questions like upc and ibsn? Those are model number. How do I add them to file?

Thanks, Kim

This is a really great contribution. I don't think I've seen anything yet with Numinix on it that hasn't been helpful.

Of course, I wouldn't be posting if I wasn't having a problem. Would there be a reason for product_type not to be displayed? I've tried changing it from "Full" to "Top" and even "Bottom" but nothing shows in the feed:
