Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[delia]

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.

Actually what is needed to start with is a decent set of instructions for the configuration settings to start and Jeff has not done that. Just saw the availability question again. Those are questions that should be written up in the documentation.

I could do that and upload the results to the zen cart forum as a contribution but that be a fair amount of work on my part. What I could do is take emails from anyone who has the specific thread number in answer to a question about those configuration settings. I could then post what I have regularly so that it appears in the forum until I get the documentation done.

In the meantime, I'll ask the Zen Cart Powers to be about starting a new thread.

Also some additional info like the question I did few threads back and hasn't been answered (are the new feeds override previous items).

Another thing I'm looking after is how to make the "read only" attributes not visible on frontend, since this is mentioned on the readme file but no instructions or farther info on how to accomplish it.

I can help on gathering some of the info needed since I've been testing a lot lately this module and search a lot here for info.

Never have had to change that setting to get the zen cart model numbers to show up in the feed. The model numbers automatically get included if they aren't blank.

I thought I had answered your question - same feed, different products, start over again - otherwise you would never be able to delete products. You should be outputting all products in one feed or setting up different feeds with different feed names.

Documentation: "you can set them to display only and then modify your template to not show display only attributes)" Good luck with that. I've not looked into that before.

Both your questions have nothing to do with the configuration settings though.

Ah, good. It's getting incredibly hard to follow this thread! So you are using Numinix's mod to do that.

No, I know doesn't have to do with configuration but is just good info that since is available or people that is going to work on the documentation could share (it won't harm), and that way users don't have to spend hours searching on the forum or just asking about it creating a longer thread with useless posts.

Set include zero quantity to false, show quantity to true, and default quantity to 0.

I did what you said, but my data feed still shows error, and products are not searchable...
