Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[RescoCCC]

Is the problem I am having the fact that I used the UPC/ISBN mod and not the full fledged Numinix Product Field Mod?

That would be it.

Select a single category from the Google taxonomy that best fits your product line overall.

Thank you!

Hey google merchant center requires as well known by now for apparel categories

these attributes:

age group attribute.
gender attribute
color attribute

These were not found in the latest froogle module correct ?

I mean everything else can be edited from the admin configure panel

But I dont see these there ?

Its already lot of work to add all these to my remaining listings
But how in earth you get these into my google_base.xml_products_en.xml feed to google

I changed them but the wont show in the feed


Anybody else feeding apparel products to google with similar problems ....

Cheers

well just checked in now and out of the 357 items that was generated into the feed (should be more like 380 items) 68 of these have been dissaproved by google any ideas whats going wrong?

I just discovered something I hadn't run into before and hadn't seen posted here.

If you have the stock by attributes mod installed, it will export your variants to the feed.

However, since it was set up for Numinix's upcoming new stock by attributes, it does not work as it needs to and can/will get your products invalidated.

So if you have it installed, you are going to have to edit the googlefroogle.php file in the root.

Comment out this line by adding the // in front of it.

if (defined('TABLE_PRODUCTS_WITH_ATTRIBUTES_STOCK')) $stock_attributes = true;

Oh cheers Delia, your're my hero! I was having this very problem and getting a 2500+ product feed on a site that only has 167 I was just resigned to editing the variants out of the feed with an xml editor.

...On a nother note, i've been trying to figure out why 3 of my products are never included in the feed, and i think i've gotten to the bottom of it. I have a few pairs of products with the same product title but different MPNs on my site and the feeder seems to miss out the second product with the same title . Is there anything in the code that is there to avoid/skip duplicate product titles?

can someone please show me what im doing wrong ,, uploading the module isnt a problem,but as soon as i hit this bit,,

5.Go to Admin->Tools->Install SQL Patches and patch your database with install.sql by copying and pasting (If you encounter errors, try the upload option)

it gives the duplicate error,, its a clean install as it goes up without any overwrites to a file i might have left,,

ive done this to see if it helps with a new install

Working on a site and have upgraded to latest Google Merchant Center feeder. I've reinstalled the latest sql files without a problem. Have no errors of any kind.
Actual website is functioning normally.

Ran the feed and the Confirm shows the following:

I believe that it is not compatible with zen 1.3.7 and I have only seen one site on that version that wasn't hacked.

Upgrade zen cart!
