Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[countrycharm]

i don't know if this is addressed to me, but my issue isn't with feeding the data to google. It's with creating the xml file of all my products. i don't know if this mod can handle a large number of products or not, it seems to just stop at 5-6k, with no error messages. It just stops.

Do you have a dedicated IP address on your server? If you do what is your setting for admin/configuration/google_base/Product Type set at ( top, bottom, or full). If it is set to top try setting it to full and try creating your feed again.

i don't have a dedicated ip on my server, i'm not using the auto feed feature of this mod. I just want it to generate an xml file of all my products. i've tried all 3 top/bottom/full. But no change, the process still stops before completing. i called my hosting company and they ran checks on the mysql databases, and they said all the connections were fine..

i feel this mod is losing connection to my database, it's not timing out, or giving me any errors, it just stops..

Do you have the word press module installed, if so then it will case conflict with the Google base module.

[Kunal]

nope, i have the sitemap xml module, but that seems to be working fine. i have many other modules too, but i think if it were a conflict, then it wouldn't process any products at all. but it processes about 25% of the products then just stops..

One more question. What is your setting for admin/configuration.google_base/Image Handler. If you have that on make sure that the switch for using image handler is set to false as this can take a lot of resources. Just trying to help. What is your store address so I can take a look.

i tried that too, and thanks i do appreciate the help. it's just buggin me that i can't figure out what's causing it to just stop..

Does it say how many product it wrote to the xml file when it times out.

[Kunal]

that's the weird thing, it process a different amount every time i run it. the file size fluctuates between 8-10mb, and different every time.

i don't think it's timing out, i don't know if it's like hitting a certain product and it's unable to process it? or just losing connection to mysql ..

Question=Is there a limit of number of products that your script will output to google?
Answer=There is no limit. Make sure all of your products meet the requirements to be listed on Google Base. The feeder will not include products which do not meet the minimum requirements.


I don't think the feed is writing all the products to the xml. I have 11000 and google base it is saying that it only processed ~3000.

Question= If google base didn't include some of them would the process number be 11,000 and the inserted number would be ~3000
Answer= yes, that is what I said. The feed skips products that do not meet the requirements.

Oh ok i see what your saying. the feed doesn't write it to the xml file if it is not vaild. Ill look into why the products are not vaild.

I got this off Numinix.com . So what he is saying if your products don't meet requirements they want process.

Also Query Cache 1.6 conflicts with this module also.
