How long did you wait? It usually takes 1-2 days for my products to appear. Also, the file you upload gets moved and deleted from the uploads folder quite quickly.

When I go to admin/ tools/ google base feeder I'm clicking the create product feed and I get a pop up that says :

Google Base Feeder v started 2010/07/18 11:07:32
Feed file - /home1/theneedl/public_html/needleworkfool/feed/mybisifeed_products.xml
Processing: Feed - Yes, Upload - No

Then I click on the upload product feed and get:

Processing: Feed - No, Upload - Yes
Upload started...

Upload ok!

But I go to my google account and it says no products have been added. I double check my file and made sure my feed folder was set to 777. Any ideas what might be wrong?

I am having this problem too. I downloaded from zencart created file, and uploaded manually to googlebase instead. You should be able to see the status in googlebase 'datafeed' section, beside that datafeed that you have created, you will see 'processing' if it's successfully uploaded. I only see that when I uploaded the file manually, after failed attempts via zencart tools section.

Is everyone else's datafeed really still working?

I changed some settings (made identifier model instead of ID, etc) and it still says the XML is bad.

XML tag mismatch

Your data feed contains a pair of opening/closing XML tags that don't match. A closing tag must always match the most recent opening tag in the feed. For example, this XML would generate an "XML Tag Mismatch" error:

<g:event_dateTime>
<g:from>2005-12-20T14:00:00
<g:to>2005-12-20T19:00:00</g:to>
</g:event_dateTime>
The XML generates an error because the attribute tag <g:from> doesn't have a matching end-tag </g:from>. Each attribute tag must be terminated by the matching end-tag:

<g:event_dateTime>
<g:from>2005-12-20T14:00:00</g:from>
<g:to>2005-12-20T19:00:00</g:to>
</g:event_dateTime>
The item containing this error will be skipped.

I am not very good with this, but I will give this a shot eh.

I believe the FTP configuration in your zencart admin is not the FTP username that you set with your host; this FTP username is what you should already set in googlebase merchant (go login to your googlebase, settings=>FTP. You will get to configure the FTP username and password.

With this information, input the exact same value into your zencart config for google feed.

FYI, I haven't been able to upload the content up to the googlebase via my zencart even though the login is successful. I upload the file manually. (refer to earlier post on this)

Hope this helps.

Ok i used the same user name and password that was set up in the google ftp account and this is the same as the google configuration in the admin.

You got that right - I may have done thing round about but i DL the gnerated file via Filezilla and the did a manual upload - but I think I will run into trouble because I have more than one data feed generated to my site. We will see - it is still processing.

any other hints?
