Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[willieWontGo]

You need to install either the numinix product fields or the other mod in the admin that creates the UPC/ISBN in your product table.

In the log run the Numinix Product fields will be your best bet and the link to the mod is here: http://www.numinix.com/zen-cart-modu...product-fields

Please keep in mind that it's for 1.3.9g so you will have to compare the core files overriden to your current installation if it's newer than 1.3.9g (which should be 1.3.9h).

Thank you for the suggestion!

I see the Numinix download contains new files as well as other files that will be modified. I understand that part of it.

However, there are also separate folders with 'optional fields'? One of them is titled "upc_isbn", do I need to add those as well?

Thank you very much for your help.

Darn, now I get the following error:

1054 Unknown column 'pd.products_description2' in 'field list'
in:
[SELECT p.products_weight, pd.products_description2 FROM zen_products p, zen_products_description pd WHERE p.products_id = 4 AND p.products_id = pd.products_id AND pd.language_id = '1' LIMIT 1]

What could I be missing?

Just discovered I did not install the "Second Description" folder and corresponding sql code.

OK, finally got this baby to work.

Checked the debug logs and found the errors: PHP Warning: htmlentities() [<a href='function.htmlentities'>function.htmlentities</a>]:......includes/classes/google_base.php on line 277........

Looked back in this thread, and followed the advice:

Inside includes/classes/google_base.php, I changed the code on Line 276, and then commented out Line 277.

Bada bing, bada boom, zero errors!

Uploaded to a Google Test Feed. Uploads fine, but I get a warning that the Weight descriptors are not included.

The only thing, now I have a Second Description field that I did not want, but installed it so I could get this to work.

All in all, it's a good day!

It sounds like you're not following the instructions to the letter :) Did you install version 1.10.1 or which version did you install?

Also, the option folder is what gives you the added feature so you will need to install the ones that you will need to support exporting to Google. It sounds like you've figured that part out.

Also, as an FYI, the specific forum for this mod is more current on numinix website than this particular forum. The updates are often more current on there as well.

1.9.1 Feeder (this is the latest available in the Add Ons section of the Zen Cart website, dated May 23, 2011). Since that is the latest displaying, I would not have thought there was a later/more current version.

1.2.0 Product Fields.

That's exactly what I am trying to say that the information here is outdated because the mod developer have his own site that he keeps current: http://www.numinix.com/zen-cart-modu...-center-feeder and there's also a forum where the developer answer issues regarding this mod.

Yeah, it's too late now, already installed it.

Do you know if I can easily update to the latest version Google Feeder (1.10.1), or do I have to uninstall and then start again?

Has anyone run into a message that says skipped due to user restrictions? Upgraded to the new 1.9.1 mod on one site and was having no problems there before. Have installed on several sites without problems except this one.

He doesn't answer questions there either. We're all working kinda blindly here.
