Google Merchant Center Feeder for ZC v1.5.x [Support Thread]

[WebKat]

I installed the newest version on ZC 1.5.0 and went through the whole configuration and everything, then when I go to Tools > Google Merchant Center Feeder and choose "Products" and leave the other two fields blank and hit "confirm" I get a popup window that says

Google Merchant Center Feeder v started 2012/04/20 00:03:17

Feed file - /home5/jugglerd/public_html/feed/google/opalessenceshop_products_en.xml

Processing: Feed - Yes, Upload - No

WARNING: An Error occurred, please refresh the page and try again.

I tried entering "1" as the starting point, I tried using 1000 as the max products... I don't know what is misconfigured to make it not work. I turned on debugging but I don't see any debugging info anywhere. My error logs don't show anything, either. Any ideas? I did the CHMOD of the feed and feed/google directories... I uploaded all the files, I did the install.sql patch...

This MOD V1.5 should just be taken out of the plugin menu. This version DOES NOT WORK with V1.5 unless some tweaking is done. If you do a search for the error you get, you will see instructions from another zenner who has solved the problem. You will need essentially to remove some files, modify the SQL patch. With all these changes it is obvious that the current V1.5 is not ready for what it claims to be. So please remove it until it is fixed.

I'm not finding the post you're talking about via a Google search of this site or a general Google search... can you show me the post and I can see if I think it's worth my time to make the changes? Thanks!

There are LOTS of add-ons that do not work.. Wouldn't a BETTER solution be to post the fixes?? or better yet since you seem to be familiar with the fix, you could fix the add-on and re-submit it..

What error?? Which posts?? if there are posted fixes for this add-on why not share them with the community??

Sorry about that out burst fellow zenners. It was just frustrating last night spending hours trying to fix the module and make it work on v 1.5.

So here it is. The link below to the fix is for v12.5 for 1.5 but I actually used v13.0 for 1.5 and had various errors in it, and the fix below solved it.

Pay special attention to the fact that a file had to be deleted and another file updated, then SQL patches had to be made on myphp admin. It won't work on the SQL install on admin.

So after all that, I got it working. It now produces an XML file from the link but does not output the file into the folder specified. Hey, at least it is working for now.

I just wish it was not posted as v1.5 ready when clearly it is not.

Thanks!

It's posted as v1.5 ready because the author believed it WAS v1.5 ready..

I'm going to take a stab at this in a few minutes. You say it doesn't output the file into the folder specified--where does it put the file? (just to save myself frustration looking for it!)

Thank you for taking the time to put together this patch!

I didn't put the patch together, but I did find the solution written in one of the forum notes.

I really don't know where the output file goes, it certainly does not show up in the output folder feed/google but when you click on the link once the file is generated, you can download the xml file.

Did you get it to work? I had to try the sql patch 2x before it kicked in. Not sure why. Maybe the patch itself is buggy but right now it works.
