Windows Live Product Search Contribution Support Thread

Try commenting out that entire section of the code

/*if(isset($_GET['feed'])){ 
wp(); 
gzip_compression(); 
require_once('./wp-includes/template-loader.php'); 

exit(); 
}*/

Ok...getting closer. Feed seems to be created correctly now at least.

Now I get

Live Product Search Feeder v.1.0.1 09.08.2007 13:54 started 2007/08/13 20:43:43
Feed file - /home/apurplem/public_html/a1webshopping/feed/lps.xml
Processing: Feed - No, Upload - Yes
Upload started...
Connection failed: ftp.productupload.live.com
Warning: ftp_connect() [function.ftp-connect]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known
Upload failed...

when I click on step 2.

You'll have to upload your file manually. Contact your host about the error.

Tried this...still no luck.

Get the following error from live...

Upload file type: Product Search XML (.xml)

Upload error!
HTTP error, 404 occurred.

Changed the feed type to be uploaded via browser.
File exists and appears to be uploaded by the amount of time it takes (it's only 300k or so).

Any other ideas?

I meant upload manually using a client FTP program.

Also, Live will show the feed as processing or rejected almost immediately after upload.

My bad.....

That worked.

Thanks a million for the help.

Hi,

Used the module, works excellently; however, Live products generated a "warning" message: "MerchantCategory removed: Does not conform to the correct format." I suspect that it is because a slash "/" character in my category description (category and sub-category shown here): " Friendship / Encouragement | General". This is from live product's help:

I guess since MerchantCategory is optional, the reader just took it off from those products.
I should be able to fix it right now by changing the "/" for a "&" or "-".

MerchantCategory

Type: Optional


Description: The category and sub-categories that the product for sale belongs to.

Field name (.txt catalog files): MerchantCategory

Field tag (.xml catalog files): <MerchantCategory>

Corresponding Goggle Base field name: none

Character limit: 256

Allowed characters:

* 0-9, a-z, A-Z
* Space
* Ampersand (&)
* Apostrophe (')
* Dash (-)
* Underscore (_)
* Separate multiple categories with a pipe (|)

Thanks very much for the module
