Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[feef]

The zip file is created by WinRAR so try downloading a copy of that and unzipping it.
If google base is creating all 723 product, go to google merchant center and try uploading from there and see what happens. I personally don't like uploading them from the google base ftp anyway. to many mistakes happen.

Ignore me... I'm a muppet.

Turned on simple debugging and spotted that a lot of products weren't being included as their descriptions are too short.

For many of our products, the product name is more than enough info and there's no additional description. I've modified the SQL select to use the product title as the description when the product description is a zero-length string.

Job done.

btw, Zip should be a standard across all OSs.. it sounds like your WinRAR is doing something strange to the zipfile if I can't open it in Ubuntu.

Glad you got it figured out. No the zip works just fine. I just checked it. jdalton downloaded it and unzipped it also. Thats strange. Anyway
