Windows Live Product Search Contribution Support Thread

[numinix]

Having problems with this contribution and your Google Base one as well...same issue actually...

When I click on Step 1 it throws the popup and then immediately stops. Nothing displayed in the window...nothing saved in the feed file.

Added the changes to my php.ini and changed the script execution time in Admin.

Still nothing.

Any ideas?

Is this a hosting issue? If it is what do I need to have my host change to allow this to work?

Thanks for providing such killer add-ons.

Do you have wordpress installed? The gzip_compression() in that mod can cause this problem.

DrByte, this is the code from wordpress if you have any ideas:

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

exit();
}

Hey Numinix

Just setup the mod and it output was excellent.

Thank you,

Just curious when do you think you will be tackling Yahoo Shopping? Just a thought. I could send you links about what they need which like I said before isn't much different from what you already have. I could send you information if you were interested.

They are a pay service correct?

The next mod I will be developing is the Auction Lister Attributes module which is a general mod for storing auction specific data in the products table for use in future and existing modules (i.e. eBay category, etc). Once that is complete, I have been hired privately to complete an Amazon mod which will then be released publicly thanks to the gracious supporter. And then I will complete the long awaited eBid module that I have been talking about for quite some time.

Yahoo, and other shopping comparison sites have no direct interest to me which is why I haven't given them priority. Although I do get some donations thanks to a few members, such as yourself, the mods are written 95% out of my interest to write them for my own Zen Cart store, Numinix.com. That said, I am capable to create those mods and will get to them eventually :)

The output was fine but I got this error when I tried to upload to live product search "Catalog rejected: Not in the expected XML format.
Correct the format, and then try your upload again. Learn more about catalog formats "

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Send me your feed file to webmaster AT numinix DOT com

If your feed has all of the required attributes, try sending it again. It will normally be instantly rejected if there is an error.

I had this error when <OfferCollection> was not included in the feed file, but this was added in v1.0.1 and shouldn't be an issue anymore.

I sent you the feed file, if you did not get it because it's too big please let me know and I will resend.

Thanks!

Well....I commented out all instances of gzip_compresion(); in that mod and still nothing.

It doesn't break the site but it doesn't fix it either.

Even turned off the WP sidebox....no go!

AAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!

Any other ideas?

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.
