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

[bramf]

Should be possible.

Yes, but how? It does not show up in my feed for products on special or sale maker

Add the field to the queries, then create a header for it when it is being outputted.

i'm getting partially activated items on my merchant centre dashboard seems im missing some attributes it wants. sadly it doesnt tell me which attributes it is expecting that arent there to make it easy. im thinking if i set manufacturer up for items which ive been skipping doing perhaps this is all im missing, if it isnt though and i have to add extra fields which module works best for 1.57b and is there a way to know which field im missing it expects. the only one i can think of is brand perhaps?

added more products also and made fresh feed file but its changed the file name as it for some reason contains the item id range in the file name. i set it to a set file name but it ignores it. how and where do i code it to always be the same name for the output file if the admin control isnt doing the job? it changes the filename but after my.xml it adds the range ect followed by another .xml its so annoying lol

crazy1.xml_products_en_1-212.xml this is the fresh file name its outputted

if setting in admin wont work what file do i need to edit or where would i find the line that responds to whats wrote in the admin settings?

there must be some .php i can edit to hardset this right? i could be updatting my stock levels daily and this file name will keep changing on me and forcing me to update it in the merchant centre :/

[flappingfish]

what would be the specific cause of the merchant feeder module adding extra blurb to my feed output file name?

if i enter in admin under configuration for merchant feeder to output filename "crazy1" it outputs instead as crazy1.xml_products_en_1-212.xml when i was expecting just crazy1.xml

issue here is that anytime i change my listed item count that number range then also changes so its the product range count. yesterday 1-212.xml ending said 138.xml and it was processing my feed.

so every day i have to change my .xml file pointing at google merchant centre or i get emailed the following....
(if ive added or sold items and the item count changed)

"Dear Google Merchant Center user,

On 05 December 2020 22:26:48 GMT you uploaded to Google Merchant Center (Account ID: **********) via FTP a file named "crazy1_products_en_1-212.xml", but you don't have a data feed registered with this name. Please verify that you provided the correct file name, including correct capitalisation.

This is a computer-generated email. Please do not reply.

The Google Merchant Center Team"

If anyone can help it would be much appreciatted.

i'm thinking as i'm using git hub release has someone uploaded a contribution that's trashed it? it works fine for one day then i add products and the new feed has the wrong name :/

if you want some help, i would suggest providing more information. if you are using a version that is on github, a link to that repo saves someone trying to help you time in finding and guessing whatever code you may be running.

in the version that i use, the output file is named like so:

$outfile = DIR_FS_CATALOG . GOOGLE_PRODUCTS_DIRECTORY . GOOGLE_PRODUCTS_OUTPUT_FILENAME . "_" . $type . "_" . $languages->fields['code'];
    if ($query_limit > 0) $outfile .= '_' . $query_limit; 
    if ($query_offset > 0) $outfile .= '_' . $query_offset;
    $outfile .= '.xml'; //example domain_products.xml
  } 

i'm guessing your filename is affected by those middle if statements; but your filename has a dash as opposed to an underline.

hope that helps.

Don't start new threads when there is already a thread for the plugin:
https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....t-Thread/page5

that will automatically notify most of the people that are using the plugin: you'll get a better response.

if you are using a version that is on github, a link to that repo saves someone trying to help you time in finding and guessing whatever code you may be running.

Code that is on Github should have issues reported there, not here.

after my.xml it adds the range ect followed by another .xml its so annoying lol

Github version: resolved

Download the fileset again, compare it to the previous one to see the difference, copy the different file to your development server, ensure all works as you wish, then upload to the production server.
Always keep a copy of the files you have added to your site, to compare to future versions.
