Google Base Feeder v1.8.2 started 2010/07/20 19:09:35
Feed file - //public_html/feed/google/stitchnframeonline_products.xml
Processing: Feed - No, Upload - Yes
Upload started...
Login failed:
Connected to: uploads.google.com
Upload failed...

TIA!!

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?

Not too sure what do you mean by generating more than one datafeed. It will be replaced with the latest when you changed the configuration, and generate from the admin=>tools=>google feed.

Hope all is well for you though. Good luck.

Hi,
I have tried to install Google Base to my website but googlefroogle.sql does not exist in version 1.8.2. There is an instruction to copy and paste this into the Admin/Tools/Install SQL patches. I tried doing this with the file googlefroogle.php which is there, but it didnt work. Any ideas? I'm using Zen Cart version 1.3.9d.
Thanks,
Noelle.

The file you need to use is install.sql

I have googlebase feeder 1.8.2 and numinix product fields installed on 139d zen.

I have isbn/upc activated and when I have an isbn number included in my listings I do see the isbn is included in the xml file.

When the feed is uploaded to google, google is seeing the isbn number as an invalid upc.

I'm just curious if anyone else has started including an isbn number in their feed and if their isbn number is being seen as an invalid upc too.

I haven't received any clarification about this from google.

Before that will work you will need to install
UPC/ISBN Product Fields
