Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[delia]

Ok, installed the latest version and my tests work like a charm.

Now, for my tests I used the brand "noname" since they are handmade items and google doesn't want any "store name" used as the brand. Does anyone here has more information about this? Can that get me in trouble? or does anyone have any better idea on how to use this field?

YIPPEE! I assume you mean 1.12.0?

I just installed on 2 sites with no problems.

You are supposed to apply for an exemption for the brand on your particular items.

Thanks Delia.

Do you have any clue about my other question? (I added it while you were answering my first question).

Handmade, IE; custom items, are exempt from the unique product identifier requirements.

That's not the question I'm looking for... Delia answered that.

This is my other question:

Another question is... if I have to do different categories at a time. Will uploading a new feed delete the other items already there? I thought not because they are different id's BUT I just did an upload (of different items) and the already approved/inserted items with green checkmarks were deleted.

you are doing a manual upload - not the best way and since it says 213 of 213, it's not uploading the file you are exporting. Check your config settings and proper file name.

lol not to sound rude but I've tried all the ways even ftp .always get the same result

Have you taken a look to the feed created? Maybe checking the item where stops will help you determine where's the error.

Also, if you can... delete all products and delete the feed. Then create a new one. Upload from the module on admin before trying to upload if manually.

anyone have it working?

i almost have it working.

thanks so much for posting that link in the google forums for checking errors on my feed it really helped me out.

thanks again for all your help.

OKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
I too have almost got it working now ... I disabled every category except 1 and started from there ,eventually I found 2 categories causing a problem as soon as I turn them on it fails even with just 1 product active it fails ..bizarre ... It's getting very late now so going to leave it as it is for now and have another go tomorrow

thanks for the help though

one of the reasons why it's hard to get answers in this thread is that there are so many folks asking for help who don't bother even going back a few pages to see what might have been just asked. Several of us are trying to reply here but it's very time consuming.

I just used Numinix's latest version of 1.12.0 that he released on Sunday. I have seen no problems with it. If anyone else has used it, please post your results here. I will upload it to zen cart if no one reports any problems.

This version has added support for

UPC, EAN, and ISBN as attributes
all new required attributes (size, material, age group, gender, google product category, pattern, and color) either through Stock by Attributes or as regular attributes

I don't know if he means the existing stock by attributes mod cause he said he was going to write his own. I'll let you know later - if someone else doesn't report good things before I get to it. The 1.10.2 version does not work with stock by attributes

no problem with ceon uri - but of course does not use the ceon urls in the feed

PinkLeopard
asked and answered many times so far - turn on show quantity and default quantity is 0

marvin
you don't have the entire mod uploaded or are mixing versions

sash
turn condition to false - you do not have the numinix product fields installed

have you turned on debugging? Nobody can answer your question without a lot more information. Thanks Fez-o Joe for your response

should be compatible with 1.3.8a, anything before that probably not.

ideasgirl
for google probably yes, for export from your cart, no

I'm tempted to ignore your question. I hate getting sarcastic or irritable in this thread and I generally manage not to but ......
The answer is yes or else most of the zen cart community would not have their products on Google.

I agree with you 100%. Not none of my business but since this thread is so long with old information, and On Sept. 22, Google started gradually enforcing the new Google products feed spec requirements why not start a new thread with Numinix's latest version and go from there.

This makes excellent sense.
