Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[RescoCCC]

Under Google Base Feeder Configuration, I changed the Output File Name to "floors", but it's still creating "domain_products_en.xml.
This is why I am not sure it's seeing my configuration file.

The simple solution is to log in to your Google merchant center account and create a new data feed with a name that matches the file being generated.

Did anybody notice the change in language in merchant center?

We have gradually begun enforcing the Google Product Search data feed changes from Sept. 22, 2011.

I have a hunch that enough big companies whined that Google decided to move more slowly.

I understand that, but when I run the Google Base Feeder, I get "Google Merchant Center File Complete In 67.974554 Seconds 0 of 2470 Records"

This is all I am getting in the domain_products_en.xml file, the link info is also incorrect, I have it set to a different http file, but it still says domain.com:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<rss version="2.0" xmlns:g="http://base.google.com/ns/1.0">
<channel>
<title>Floors</title>
<link>http://www.domain.com</link>

Is your feed folder set to 777?

Feed folder is set to 777.

Is there anything I could check in my database?

I noticed I have 2 configuration_group entries in the database. One that says Google Base Feeder Configuration, and one that says Google Merchant Center Feeder Configuration. Is that correct?

[bluetooth]

I uninstalled both sql entries. Then I ran install.sql, which added back the Google Merchant Center Feeder Configuration.

Now I can't configure because I have no tab under configuration in zen cart for Google Merchant Center.

Thanks in advance.

I changed the name of the configuration_group_title from Google Merchant Center Feeder Configuration to Google Base Feeder Configuration.

Now it's working, I re-configured and all but 6 of the 2470 records were sent to my floors_products_en.xml file. Got 5 warnings when uploaded to Google stating missing recommended attributes. I don't know if this is a problem, but I think it's OK. Any inputs on that?

Thanks!
