Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

Does anyone instal this as a paid service ?

[thebeveragegourmet]

I know if you get it from the numinix site directly, they have a $25 install fee listed with the mod

[countrycharm]

well crud...I've done all that. One version (the newest one) I get a blank page and if I use the older version (from this site), I get the text junk

Hopefully someone else has had (and resolved) this issue. Thank you for your advise

As many sites I have installed this on I have never had this to happen. Check your permissions on your server control panel. If you have word press addon installed it will cause a conflict with this module. Check some of your .htaccess files.

Inside some folders is an .htaccess file that lists certain *permitted* filetypes which may be accessed. (Anything else is blocked to prevent abuse on your site).

Thanks. I don't have wordpress. I'll have to check the .htaccess files.

On the Numinix forum, someone said the text error was the cause of the admin files. Could renaming my admin to another name (as recommended) cause a problem? I uploaded the files to the "admin" folder of my site...it's just that the name is not "admin".

so in my admin/includes there is a.htaccess file that has:
# but now allow just *certain* necessary files:
<FilesMatch ".*\.(js|css|jpg|JPG|gif|GIF|png|PNG)$">

do I need to add php here as a *certain* necessary file? In the admin folder the .htaccess file allows php but not in the admin/includes

It should not cause you any problem as long as you changed the name of the admin folder to the name you are using. In other words if your admin folder is named jhon_doe make sure the admin folder in the google base feeder is change to mach that before you upload, if not then things will not work.

You can try it to see if it will work, if you still get a blank page try the admin/includes also.
Change the line to:
<FilesMatch ".*\.(js|JS|css|CSS|jpg|JPG|gif|GIF|png|PNG|xsl|XSL)$">

If that does not work try the old .htacess file from your backup 1.3.8 to see if it makes any difference.

I read what what you asked Numinix on Numinix forums and I agree with him. Check to make sure the files in the google base feeder admin uploaded correctly. What I mean about that is make sure the filesize is the same, if not that is the reason why it is showing that down below. Some ftp programs mess up when uploading files.

Hi, I'm using this module and it's mostly working. An issue I'm having is that the 'product_type' tag (which is the category name) isn't showing my category properly. I have products which are linked in two categories and for some reason, it is showing the linked category and not the 'master category'. I have reset the master category products to be the correct one (as they were showing incorrectly before) but even after resetting this, the 'product_type' is not updating to be the correct category. Does anyone have any thoughts about this? I don't want to have to delete all the linking products categories. Thanks in advance- I love zen cart and this community!!

Try this and see if it helps. In /web-site-root/includes/.htacess

on line 26 you will find:
<FilesMatch ".*\.(js|JS|css|CSS|jpg|JPG|gif|GIF|png|PNG|swf|SWF)$">

Change the line to:
<FilesMatch ".*\.(js|JS|css|CSS|jpg|JPG|gif|GIF|png|PNG|swf|SWF|xsl|XSL)$">

Nothing appears to have changed. If you go thru the process of the google feed by way of zen admin you can read an error in step 2. If you go thru all the steps without looking at the actual feed it appears to be fine.

In google merchant it only ever said there were 57 items listed with errors and there are actually over a 1,000 items listed in the store. Also in google merchant it now said there were 0 items.
