Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[countrycharm]

The Numinix code automatically appends
_products.xml to whatever name you have defined in the config.

So if you call it

fantastic

then you have to tell google it's called

fantastic_products.xml

The feed creation/upload popup window shows the filename clearly.

The reason it appends the _products.xml to whatever name you have defined in the configuration is to determine what kind of .xml it is.
Google base feeder will create documents.xml, and news.xml also. This just makes it easier for google to know what type of .xml it is.

returns the type of feed
    function get_type($type_parameter) {
      switch($type_parameter) {
        case 'tp':
          $type = 'products';
          break;
        case 'td':
          $type = 'documents';
          break;
        case 'tn':
          $type = 'news';
          break;
        default:
          $type = 'products';
          break;
      }
      return $type;
