This absolutely NOT Possible for some of us that have unique categories, not to mention how such a long trail of subcategories will affect other Mods (i.e. Simple SEO) and the page URLs??

Any way around this?

1. If you have any prior version of GM installed you must un-install by using the sql un-install located in the file.
2. Install the NEW sql patch.
3. Upload all NEW files.
4. Make sure the feed/goolge file is chmod at 755 or 777


Google Requirements:


1. Basic Product Information

A .id [id]- An identifier of the item
B. title [title] - Title of the item
C. description [description] - Description of the item
D. google product category [google_product_category] - Google's category of the item
E. product type [product_type] - Your category of the item
F. link [link] - URL directly linking to your item's page on your website
G. image link [image_link] - URL of an image of the item
H. additional image link [additional_image_link] - Additional URLs of images of the item
I. condition [condition] - Condition or state of the item

All of these conditions should be automatic if everything is set-up correctly with your Zen-Cart.


Troubleshooting:

D. google product category [google_product_category] - Google's category of the item

This is a must. You have to follow Google's cateogry tree. I had to change all of my categories to match theirs.
How I did it (and it took me a full day to do it) is I made the required categories for my products and moved my items to the right categories. If anyone knows a better way, then please post it.

Here's their category tree:

catergory tree here

Example: If I sell shoes, then my categories would be the following:

Shoes - Main category


Sub categories:

Athletics Shoes

Boots

Flats

High Heel Shoes

Loafers & Moccasins

Outdoor Shoes

Sandals

Slippers

Trainers


2. Availability & Price

A. availability [availability] - Availability status of the item

1. Your Zen-Cart must have "show quantity stock set to 1.
2. Your GM config must have Show Quantity (true) & Default Quantity (1)

B. price [price] - Price of the item
C. sale price [sale_price] - Advertised sale price of the item
D. sale price effective date [sale_price_effective_date] - Date range during which the item is on sale

3. Unique Product Identifiers

A. brand [brand] - Brand of the item
B. gtin [gtin] - Global Trade Item Number (GTIN) of the item
C. mpn [mpn] - Manufacturer Part Number (MPN) of the item


These are the most common problems. Please read first before posting.
