Numinix now has an updated version 1.8.2

I uploaded that to my cart, yet still have the problem of '&' characters in the link tags.

At least I was able to find/replace these instances using php editor and manually upload to google (YEA!!!)

But this does not solve the problem when the feed is generated.

If the sanitizer is the problem, what code should I change?

Does this work with ceon url mapping?

Thanks.

Thanks.

I have only found one add-on that does not work with Ceon URI. (and that's because this particular mod is poorly written IMHO) The point is Conor goes through a lot of work to ensure his module does NOT interfere with other modules.. (which included this one)

Sometimes you have to read back, or do a search in the thread to find out what other people have done to solve the problem. Look at this post and see if it will help you.

Hey gang,

I have finally completely frazzled myself over this one. The sanitizer function in /includes/classes/google_base.php.... I have played with this for hours and even went back through this thread trying various examples. I am still unable to get rid of the '&' in the product link and replace it with '&'... Has anyone else been able to get this to work and if so, how?

It appears that this..... $str = str_replace("&", "&", $str);
doesnt work no matter what I do with it and no matter where I insert it. What am I doing wrong?


Thanks,

Hi I am having problems with my feed and have had a look through the forum but its so mahoosive i can't find the answer.
I had numinix install the feeder and it only uploads 53 out of 54 products although i have 189 products on my site. Any ideas?

using zc v1.3.8 with a few addons.
many thanks. kev

For those that are getting the following error:

/googlefroogle.php?feed=fy_un_tp link is broken...

Make sure that the googlefroogle.php file that was included with the add-on package is uploaded into your main store directory.

Becuase the installation files say to avoid uploading the googlefroogle.sql file, it can be very easy to overlook the googlefroogle.php file in that same folder.

Hope that helps!

If you log into the google analytics website and look at the data quality information, it will tell you why which items were not imported. It could be as simple as a missing manufacturer tag, no price(call for price), short product description, etc. I finally got mine working, after realizing that a new version was released the day after I started playing with it and I never knew it! lol The only thing I had to do was edit the googlefroogle.php file and change the information on line 111 to say encoding="UTF-16" for whatever reason. But as for items not being included, check the above information out, any of those will cause items to be 'skipped' or ignored.

I am suddenly having a new problem with this mod. I am still unable to upload it to Google using FTP, it says Login failed, Upload failed. However, I was able to upload manually with no issues. Now suddenly when I try to upload manually, it says 0 of 1 items were inserted and it says there was an XML formatting error. Nothing has changed and I even tried uploading just one category of products and it still gives the same error. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Thanks!
