Yeah i had a similar problem it has quit working for me as well...it seems that google has did a recent upgrade and i even payed numinix to do some upgrades to google base feeder and everything was find until a week ago and google must of did some kind of upgrade because my feed says disapproved everytime now...and its really annoying i had 17500 pages in google base and now my business has dwindled down to nothing because of this...i swear i hate google!!!

I can create and upload a feed, no problem. When I attempt to 'view' it, however, I always receive the 'this page cannot be displayed' from explorer. I right-clicked and 'saved' the 'view' and now I can view it - good.

However, I'd like to convert this feed to .csv so I can import my inventory to another online marketplace. I attempted to open the file in excel and receive a 'parse' error, and I really have no idea how else to convert the thing.

Anyone have any ideas?

A future release will support both tabbed and xml format. However, you cannot convert the XML to CSV or tabbed at this time unless there is an external script that exists to do this.

Hello Everyone,

I have tried a few times to resolve this, lets give it one more, maybe someone has some insight.

I have loaded GBF. It shows up under the config tab, but not the tools tab. Check my post 1226 for a little better discription.

Thanks in advance,

This question is answered about a dozen times in this thread and also in the Numinix forum. You are missing some of the admin files, be sure each file has uploaded properly and Zen Cart will display the tools menu item.

Hi i installed google base feed to my website ages ago and it all worked absolutley fine, i go to use it today and im getting an error message when i come to create it :

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

I had a look in the error log and it says :

Can someone please tell me if this is something i have done, or is it something has been changed to our server causing this to happen. I am using 1.3.7. Any help received will be great. Thanks

(i have posted this twice, i didnt realise there was a massive post on base feed - Sorry )

Is there something wrong with how I am doing most of my item descriptions, or do I have something set wrong?
