Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[PinkLeopard]

I haven't set it up yet on my server but in merchant center it is set up every month.. I do have a sitemap mod - that pings to various search engines - don't know if this is causing any repetitions but sounds strange. Any thoughts?

_thanks

You can search this thread to see if there were conflict but off the top of my head it would be really hard for me to say because I don't have the sitemap mod.

Btw, exactly how is google duplicating your items?

Thanks

Configuration:

I have an error when I try to run 'create product feed' from admin

I set up:

Output File Name
Set the name of your froogle output file
my_feed

Before it used to work fine and the output file created was:
my_feed_products.xml

but now I get this error >>>>

Google Base Feeder v started 2010/01/20 15:57:24
Feed file - /home/myuser/theoutletseason-www/electronics/feed/my_feed_products.xml
Processing: Feed - Yes, Upload - No
Error opening google base output file "/home/myuser/theoutletseason-www/electronics/feed/my_feed"

I tried to fix it by changing the output file name, but that only duplicated _products.xml so the end result was my_feed_products.xml_products_xml!

Chmod feed file to 777 or in your case /feed/my_feed.

It appears it cannot read the file in the folder.

Hope that helps.

You change the .xml file within the google configuration in your admin AND if you change that .xml file name you would make sure that it is changed in your google account too.

Don't change .xml file name in the google_base.php file. That's wrong.

it duplicates them in the title - like if you search 'zen cart' and get this result -

Ah...I see what you mean...I would check

include/classes/google_base.php

Did you make any changes to it?

The second choice may be the googlefroogle.php

One of your files is duplicating the title within.

Try checking those files or upload fresh one but BACK-UP first.

Hope that helps.
