Windows Live Product Search Contribution Support Thread

Anyways, you don't need to do this all throughout your store, just open the .xml file on your computer and find the first product that returns the error and change the spaces to %20. Then open the .xml in your browser and if you do not get the error for that first product, then we know that %20 was accepted by the XML parser. Then I will update the mod to replace all spaces in product titles with %20.

I see. Sorry I didn't think the 20 was important. Let me give it a try again tonight and I will let you know. Thanks man.

I have been using this mod for a few months and it has been working I had trouble with the ftp upload but got it to work, but that's when I only had 200 items in my store, but when I add 8000 items to my store now my file gets rejected by live and you get errors when you try to open it in a browser, I really don't know a lot about this any help would be great!

here is a link to the file

The following tags were not closed: DataFeed, OfferCollection. Error processing resource.

The latest version of this module has had no problems doing over 10,000 products with the MSU Add-on (which makes it even slower). So, if you are using the latest version, then it is probably due to a slow hosting service.

I am using the latest version, I'm not using a hosting service, the server is sitting in the same room with me and is having no performance problems, and why would the tags not be closed?

can I close the tags, and resubmit the file and if so how?

Hi Numinix, has this been updated in the mod? thanks.

Hi Numinix, has this been updated in the mod? thanks.

No it hasn't. I am waiting for an update from someone who has spaces in their filenames.

I have installed the latest version of this mod but I am not getting any results when I create the feed file. It is listing 0 products. I am using Google Base as well and I assume they both use the same feed file. Am I correct or what do you think is going on?

Never mind I decided to uninstall this mod.

I'm getting this error after installing the latest version and trying to upload my feed:

Live Product Search Feeder v.1.08 03.05.2008 11:45:59 started 2008/03/23 13:35:14
Feed file - /home/theatcom/public_html/ashbysonline.com/feed/lps.xml
Processing: Feed - No, Upload - Yes
Upload started...
First attempt (passive mode off): Upload Failed
Second attempt (passive mode on): Upload Failed


Upload failed...

After reading nearly all of the posts in this thread, is it possible that the majority of the problems arrise from the fact that Windows Live itself SUCKS swampwater , and it isn't really this mod that causes problems?

I say that because the mod actually uploaded my feed once. Only once. Windows Live hasn't let me upload it again since.
