Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[buildingblocks]

Think I've finally got it going, more or less. My default Google Product Category isn't going into the XML but I don't think any of my products *have* to have it so no great loss.

Thanks for the help everyone, much appreciated.

in product type do you have the bullet for default ticked?

or have you tried leaving default product type blank and just set product type to full (or top, or bottom)?

You're confusing product type with product category.

Well i have upgraded to the new version since running 1.7.3 for years with no problem.

Had to upgrade after google turned off all my listings!! GRRRRR

after upgrading I now getthing the following error:

XML tag mismatch


Your data feed contains a pair of opening/closing XML tags that do not match. A closing tag must always match the most recent opening tag in the feed. For example, this XML would generate an "XML Tag Mismatch" error:
<g:event_dateTime>
<g:from>2005-12-20T14:00:00
<g:to>2005-12-20T19:00:00</g:to>
</g:event_dateTime>
The XML generates an error because the attribute tag <g:from> does not have a matching end-tag </g:from>. Each attribute tag must be terminated by the matching end-tag:
<g:event_dateTime>
<g:from>2005-12-20T14:00:00</g:from>
<g:to>2005-12-20T19:00:00</g:to>
</g:event_dateTime>
The item containing this error will be skipped. However, other properly-formatted products in your feed will still process.


Also non of my items are searchable because im missing availablility but all my items are in stock and available :-(

Which version are you using? 1.10.2?

Hi, I have installed version 1-10-2 of base feeder on a v1.3.8a site (I know I should upgrade) and have resolved all the issues (thanks to previous posts). I have also installed the stock_by_attributes_1-4-13 which I got from the add-ons. Am I right in thinking that work is being done on how to incorperate gtin numbers for each attribute. As each product colour I sell has its own gtin number and currently I can only put one gtin number in the product field.

Which version are you using? 1.10.2?

yes the latest version in the download section of this site.

I got the missing section sorted and only items missing the availablity are items which we are out of stock of..... normally discontinued items which we direct to simular items
