Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[bhunted]

Think I found a bug, not sure.
I'm running the latest version (1.6.5)...
I cannot get this to upload via the admin panel no matter what.

Sooooo....
I decided to create a CRON job to do it. But here is the problem. Cron job works, but it is not grabbing the proper info from the php file. It's not appending the new format to the upload. See below..

[FONT=Consolas]Google Base Feeder v.1.6.5 09.11.2007 11:22:59 started 2007/11/26 08:20:03<br /> Feed file - .../html/feed/AS_.xml<br />[/FONT]
[FONT=Consolas]Processing: Feed - Yes, Upload - No<br /> Google Base File Complete In 0.031642 Seconds 0 Records<br />[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]The file getting generated normally should be AS_products.xml... as you can see on the emailed results, it's missing. Nor does it show it uploaded it. Yet, it generates the proper file and in the proper place.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial]Am I missing something or maybe this is a bug. If a bug, maybe this is why some people cannot upload via the admin panel as well. Any thoughts?[/FONT]

How you setup your cron?

I am having a problem with the generated feed file. I tried a bulk upload and continually get this error:

"We didn't understand some of the XML formatting in your file. You may be missing a tag or have a nesting or formatting error. Bad Line # 1"

Tried importing it to Excel and it tells me to make sure this is a valid XML file. Any ideas?

Using the Get command sample that is provided in the readme.

How you setup your cron?

Contact your host for the proper command.

Hi,

All the products in my store are of the same kind; they are all personalized and packaged in the same way; this is a very important fact about my products. When the products are viewed in my website, the packaging and the personalized message are obious (as it is written all over the site).

I want to be able to add a paragraph explaining the packaging and personalization (always the same) before each product. Is there a way of modifying the code to add this phrase to every product at the time of creation of the XML file?

Thank you very much (also for making and maintaining this great module, very important to my site).

Sure, at the beginning of the description just type out what you want to add like:

'<description>' . '<p>Blah blah blah</p>' . $products->fields['descriptions'] . '</description>'; 

That is not a line from the code. But it'll look something like that.

Guys, any thoughts on that alleged bug? Commands work, but the improper xml file name is not right. So commands got nothing to do with it. Is there something in one of the php files that is wrong?

I'm wondering if the problem I am having is also related to yours, bhunted. Looks like it is a bug.

I have an issue that may have already been addressed. I read through some of the posts on here and did not see. After following the instructions and configuring the Google Base Feeder Configuration under the configuration and creating an account with base.google.com and getting and FTP account. I also registered my .xml file with base.google. I then went back to my zencart admin page under tools ( like the readme file states) and could not see Google Froogle Feeder. I am not sure if I am doing something wrong. If anyone knows what might cause this please let me know.
