I'm only getting 12 out of 54 products listed as "Success"

The others are failing and the debug says the "description length: 0"

Below is the debug line for product id 132, the HTML Description is included here in the quote box. Does anyone see why it would fail? Odd Character? phase? I don't know.

What do I do to fix it?

Thank you in advance!

id: 132, price: 158.99, description length: 0 - skipped, price below zero, description length less than 15 chars, or title less than 3 chars - failed

If you're using the latest version, comment out the line below from includes/classes/google_base.php

It worked for me. Not sure what the repercussions are yet though.

anyone know what this line does and if/why it's needed?

//   $str = htmlentities(html_entity_decode($str), ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');
  //

Hi - bare with me Im new to zen cart and still learning.

Installed Google Base feeder - all seamed aok - when I press confirm to create the feed, download link shows file, links to upload and delete are present but there is no file?

Also checked in feed/google and, permissions set correctly etc, but no output file is produced.

Any ideas?

Thanks, Karl

The new Google feed requirements include Shipping info. In order for shipping by weight to work, I need <g:shipping_weight> rather than the <g:weight> that the Numinix outputs. Any idea on how to change <g:weight> to <g:shipping_weight> ?

Thank you

Try going to Config/Google Merchant Center Feeder Config in your Zen-Cart Admin. The "Output Directory" is listed about 1/2 way down. This shows you where the file is stored. Change to feed/google/ if it's something other. then create a new output.

Many thanks for info - no products in feed, in a word doh! Changed to allow zero products and now feed is produced.

However, when I click on upload popup is blank and upload is not processed.

Any ideas, Karl.

update: put sql 1.9 into sql updates folder (didnt see it) - now it says NOT FOUND when trying to upload - path on popup is:

http://www.xxxx.co.uk/adminxxx/undefined

Path for output is set in config to feed/google/ and .xml is created.

Any help greatly appreciated, Karl
