Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[sajiepaj]

Hi there

We have google base feeder working on our site, but I am currently adding products using the music product type. Our existing products are all the of the 'general' type. When I generate the feed however, any music products are not included... From what I can find on the forums, it seems like you can only have one product type in the feed - is this correct? Or have I missed something else?

This is really important for us, as we need to utilise the music products to give extra functionality to our products (wallpaper). Is there any way of having all products included in the feed?

We are using Zen version: 1.3.8a

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ok I think I've sorted this out - was looking for something far more complicated than was actually there!! I've now done a feed with all the products included:-)

Thanks anyway.

If, like me, you are php blind, for $25 they will do it for you - solved all my issues and was money well spent (no, I didn't get a discount for saying this - forgot to ask :-))

Seriously, they did a great job, very quickly and saved me much more than $25 of my time fiddling around with it; fplus irst Google merchant generated order within 24 hrs of the install made me over $50

Hi Folks:
using GBF 1.8.3 is it necessary still to make the changes as noted in 1902 et al of this thread?
Thanx

I am having a problem with my Xml feed; the base feeder report on making the xml reflects that all products are valid, I have checked for the funny A and corrected them, plus for & etc.
I load the a file to Google of about 4,000 products and they consistently reflect about 50 products but indicate that the file is good.
I ran a validation report of the first 500 products to-day:
the text on the screen from the file looks like a foreign language and I get the following feedback:
XML parsing error: <unknown>:1:0: not well-formed (invalid token) [
Please can any-one help me - even IM me and correct this professionaly for me?
Best wishes for a Merry Christmas to all Zenners and your families where-ever you may be

Hello All, I installed Google Base Feeder... When I click to create the feed the window pops up and it starts creating the feed after about 6 minutes it stops and loads the page not found page.. I looked at the xml file and it started creating the file but never finished.. Any ideas of what might be going on.. Thanks for all your input..
