Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[RescoCCC]

I feel the same as you. I feel like if google is asking for this and that , that all that they are asking should be added to Google Base Feeder. That being said I also feel like product fields should be incorporated into this module without having to add it extra, but then again I didn't create Google Base Feeder.
I'm not putting Numinix down he has done a good job when he answers the thread here or over on his web site when people are having problems. I also see him avoiding a lot of problems people are asking too. I know he doesn't have to donate any of his time for free or create any modules for free. I and everybody does appreciate his generosity, but please fix the modules like they should be fix or don't offer it at all. Don't take it the wrong way I not pointing my finger at no one here. Thats my 2 cents worth.
I'm holding out for a fixed or stable version without all the hassle.

The modules work just fine when they are setup correctly.

Maybe so for some. We cannot all be a bunch of dummies. I have been installing module for years and have never came across something as bad as this to install. If you are going to install this module, you better roll up your sleeves because you are going to be here a while. Not a module that you can just drop in a use.

I haven't been installing modules for years. In fact, most around here have probably forgotten more about this stuff then I'll ever know. But, I installed it on three sites including my sandbox and two live sites. It works perfectly on all three.

That said, it is definitely a complicated module, more complicated than the majority of the others. I think if I were having the problems with it that some others are experiencing I would pay Numinix the nominal $25 they charge to install it.

My default Google Product Category isn't going into the XML but I don't think any of my products *have* to have it so no great loss.

What format did you use for the entry? There is both a text format and an xml format.

As an example this is what the text format would look like:

Arts & Entertainment > Collectibles

And this is what the xml format would look like:

Arts & Entertainment > Collectibles

The second is what needs to be entered in Default Product Category.
