Is this right? i have attached a screen shot of my configuration set-up. there is no update button to save the settings when changed, i have uninstalled and reinstalled the mod 5 times now and its always the same

Exactly what is always the same? What errors or problems are you experiencing?

Except that for many of us, the Numinix module works perfectly. I installed it on three sites and it works just fine, and I'm a friggin' rookie compared to most here.

yeah, I can appreciate that. And apparently, it does seem to work fine for some or many or most, for whatever reason that may be, likely in proportion to many different variables. And I'm not a rookie per se having worked with zencart for many, many years, modded it considerably, administer over 20 active production stores using it currently and as well might be slightly better than a layperson with respect to php plus managing over a dozen web servers so well versed in recompiling php at the server level to do what it needs to do on a script by script basis, yada, yada, yada.

But my point might have been that there are still what seems to be waaay to many with comments like this from a most recent post: "Why is this module a pain in the ########,," and a proportionate amount of people that seem to be struggling with it and finding all kinds of issues with it working for THEM.

And so, in relation to that point I was simply pointing out that for those people, there might be another solution. At least, I was one of those people having issues with this particular module, tried the other one and found it to be a breeze. That might not work for everyone but it did for me so likely it will for someone else and I was simply providing my anecdotal experience.

Hi getting the hang of this ,when I confirm (and have debug active) the box comes up saying success except for a few saying this
id: 874, price: 9.99, description length: 28 - skipped: zero quantity product. turn on include zero quantity to include. - failed
id: 892, price: 9.99, description length: 86 - skipped: zero quantity product. turn on include zero quantity to include. - failed

could this be the cause of my issue and how can I overcome this

thanks

nope isn't this as I have turned them all off and despite having 615 products I am only getting 215 to upload ...I would understand if they were all from 1 supplier but they are across the board (3 different suppliers)

There is no way of saving the settings (no update button on config screen) see my screenshot on my original post

If items have zero quantity, then they will not be included in the feed. The items referenced above show zero available. The feed appears to be working as it should.

And so, in relation to that point I was simply pointing out that for those people, there might be another solution. At least, I was one of those people having issues with this particular module, tried the other one and found it to be a breeze. That might not work for everyone but it did for me so likely it will for someone else and I was simply providing my anecdotal experience.

The feed module itself works perfectly. However we cannot troubleshoot what may be happening on a particular site. All of my sites are running feeds as they should. If I were going to recommend something for those who may have problems installing / configuring, I would point them to Numinix. They can pay them $25 and they will install it correctly.

Version 1.11.2 resolves this for your feed. You need to go in and create read-only attributes, then connect them to the items.

Instructions for adding attributes:

https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/index.php?article=57

Once the attributes are created, a lot of them can be added to all products in a category. Not as bad as one at a time.

https://www.numinix.com/zen-cart-mod...1752eea8a26441
This doesn't work for me. The feed does not generate the attributes for the items.

For that reason the items aren't approved at Google Merchant.

Then you are not doing something that's preventing your extra attributes from being included. They're on my feed as in the examples below. Zero items rejected. Make sure you link up the extra attributes to all your items.

<g:size>example</g:size>

mine looks like this ,if it is any help

your config file looks like mine,, and its not right!! going by your attachement it doesnt contain DEFAULT PRODUCT CATEGORY.. and others,,,

i still cant get the new config files to appear....

edit: unless they are below your attachment oops lol

[Andy-C27]

lol couldn't get the whole page but that is there on my site

Have you tried deleting GMCFC from there ..I did as I had 2 of them

[sash]

Gonna explode with this,

Ive deleted this module from zen cart admin , checked phpmyadmin and its gone from there,,,

SO why is it when installing a fresh version and get to the point to put in the "INSTALL" file it comes up with that duplicate massive error file and have to click back to get to zen cart admin again,,,

Ive ran the uninstall from the old google base aswell incase any bits left,,,,

It is completely gone...

To make things clear when i install a new version, the module itself works,,

it just doesnt contain the new configuration of default product category etc,,, it should because its the latest updated file....

Is this right? i have attached a screen shot of my configuration set-up. there is no update button to save the settings when changed, i have uninstalled and reinstalled the mod 5 times now and its always the same

So this is clearly incorrect I only have half the config options and no button at the end to save any changes made.. anyone know why or how to fix?
