Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[countrycharm]

that has happened to me before, that is because the view button looks for a certain file name in the feed folder. you just have to change the name of the file to the name it is looking for..

countrycharm, nothing personal, but I cant give you access to my file(even if temporarily) and still feel comfortable that i am protecting my company as well as the private data of my customers..

But I do appreciate the offer, i really do

have you seen the problem i have mentioned before, what were some the usual suspects?

wagnerguy no problem I understand. Lets do this, first make sure your feed cache is set to 777, next go through your site files and delete everything that deals with wordpress and see if it will create one then. There is and issue with the wordpress module. It conflicts with this module for some reason and not just this one with others also. What is the name of your site you are running this on? Re-upload all file for this module because sometimes FTP programs experience a timeout when uploading large quantities of files (such as when installing or upgrading your site), or fail to fully upload some files, or leave them as just 0-bytes in size. Some programs like SmartFTP and CuteFTP are well-known to be problematic in this area. For Windows PCs, it is recommended FileZilla as a free, fast, and reliable FTP program. On Mac, Transmit or CyberDuck are commonly acclaimed FTP tools. See it this will resolve your problem.

I think I got it now. If I fix it, I'll post how I did.

I have actually verified those things.. the only thing that i noticed was that when i deleted the "wp folders" in the directory, then tried to run the feed. i got an error that basically said that froogle was looking for a wp file to finish running the feed.. I added the folders back but deleted some individual files that were not referenced in the warning.


dgarrett20, how did you fix it?

Go to your admin of your store configuration/Google Base Feeder Configuration and and make sure your Output Directory is set feed/ and change your Output File Name to feedpoppy and see if that will not fix your problem.

when you say my admin, do you mean, within my file manager or ftp. or do you mean the online config section.. if you mean the latter, there are no options for output directory and output file name

What I am saying when you login to the back end of your store go to configuration/Google Base Feeder Configuration and and make sure your Output Directory is set feed/ and change your Output File Name to feedpoppy

I've tested the following solution with the Google Base Feeder and found that my implementation guide to integrating Wordpress with Zen Cart will not cause the blank pop-up issue that plagues all users of the WoZ module.

A lot of work is involved, but it works very well. This guide has been implemented on the Numinix Blog.

Hey,
Is it possible for the output to be just a regular .txt file (ie. delimited) instead of XML? I want to modify some of the data in the file for another storefront (make a few changes), but Excel won't open the .xml file ... it says it's not a standard Excel .xml file, adn I open it as text and it basically just shows the XML file, but not in columns/rows.

Use Easy Populate if you just want a .txt version. The .xml can be opened using any web browser.
