$fp = fopen($outfile, $mode);
$retval = fwrite($fp, $output, GOOGLE_FROOGLE_OUTPUT_BUFFER_MAXSIZE);
return $retval;

would GOOGLE_FROOGLE_OUTPUT_BUFFER_MAXSIZE have anything to do with it being restricted/timeout etc??

Google just announced changes to its feed requirements:

What will this mean for us zencart users?

I have this installed, but noticed it gives a wrong url for the products. I have the cpath turned on, but instead of the url including cpath=1_7 is puts cpath=1,7. I could just turn off cpath, but would like to include it. I'm concerned this error may be messing up my Google rankings.

I appreciate any help!

Hi, I tried searching for an answer to this but found nothing.

I'm just preparing to upgrade from Zen Cart v1.3.7 to the latest v1.3.9h, and I currently have Google Froogle v1.6.7 installed.

Do I need to uninstall my current version of Google Froogle before I upgrade Zen Cart and if so, how?

~~ Bump ~~

Ditto - Definitely would like to get an answer - It appears that there are a few requirements that are not currently provided but looking at my raw feed, my account settings are set up for tax and shipping options (which google recommends and says will cover that detail - I think!) - so only thing , it appears, are the unique identifiers (UPC Code) - which is important, and the ability to add sale item information (unless that is the intent of the g:id field? )

However, in any case, It would be really nice to hear from developer/maintainer as to whether these changes will require any upgrades - last thing that many of us zenners need is our google product feeds disappearing from google!

Hi all,

My Zen Cart version is v1.3.9h
and Google Base Feeder version is 1.8.3

After installation, I can see Google Base Feeder Configuration. According to installation instruction, step 7 says:
7.Go to Admin->Tools>Google Base Feeder and follow instructions to create, view, and upload feed file.

However, Google Base Feeder is nowhere to be found under Admin->Tools

Here's a screenshot of the dropdown menu
Please help. Thank you.

If it is not listed there then you installed it wrong. Go back and check your folder structure. If you have renamed your admin folder make sure the name matches. Also check and make sure all files and folders uploaded right.

Thanks countrycharm. That fixed it. It turns out that the default directory for zen cart admin is zc_admin and Google Base Feeder package named the directory admin.
Moving the content of admin folder into zc_admin folder fixed the problems.

Glad you worked it out.
