JLA,

Ok, I've just installed this mod, works very similar to the one I've got. To add in a static condition value you can find the following around line 85 in <catalogdirectory>/googlefroogle.php:

$output["title"]            = "title";
$output["description"]      = "description";
$output["link"]             = "link";
$output["price"]            = "price";
$output["image_link"]       = "image_link";
$output["expiration_date"]  = "expiration_date";
$output["label"]            = "label";
$output["id"]               = "id";

And add in the following:

$output["title"]            = "title";
$output["description"]      = "description";
$output["link"]             = "link";
$output["price"]            = "price";
$output["image_link"]       = "image_link";
$output["expiration_date"]  = "expiration_date";
$output["label"]            = "label";
$output["id"]               = "id";
$output["condition"]        = "condition"; // Added for March required update

Then, around line 150 find the following:

$output = array();
$output["title"]  = zen_froogle_sanita($products->fields['products_name'], true);
$output["description"] = zen_froogle_sanita($products->fields['products_description']);
$output["price"] = number_format($price, 2, '.', '');
$output["image_link"] = zen_froogle_image_url($products->fields['products_image']);
$output["expiration_date"] = zen_froogle_expiration_date($products->fields['base_date']);

And add in this line at the end:

$output = array();
$output["title"]  = zen_froogle_sanita($products->fields['products_name'], true);
$output["description"] = zen_froogle_sanita($products->fields['products_description']);
$output["price"] = number_format($price, 2, '.', '');
$output["image_link"] = zen_froogle_image_url($products->fields['products_image']);
$output["expiration_date"] = zen_froogle_expiration_date($products->fields['base_date']);
$output["condition"]  = "new"; // Added for Google's required March update

Of course you can change "new" to whatever you'd like, JLA suggested "see description"

If anyone has any questions, suggestions, please post. I realize this is just a quick hack to tide us over for a bit, if I've missed anything please let me know.

[jgarabot]

can you link the file to replace the old one, for the one of us who does not have editing skills?

[Dashizna]

Yea who can just send us the files that we need to change already changed so we can just upload them.. Not everyone understands all this editing on these files...

[j0ney3]

All,

I've PM'd a_berezin, the creator of this file and am going to wait until I get the ok from him to post a link to my modified version of his file. Keep in mind, my quick hack only puts one value in the condition field, only "new". Please don't stress about it, I will do my best to see that everyone is sorted out WELL before this new cutoff, I just don't want to mod/link a_berezin's file w/o permission.

Thanks!

[Dashizna]

thats understandable

[jgarabot]

I was looking at the export file.txt, and it does not create the id, only id header

[j0ney3]

I was looking at the export file.txt, and it does not create the id, only id header

jgarabot,

That is a configuration option

go to Configuration->Google Froogle Configuration, then there is an option called "Show Offer ID", u must set it to either "id" or "model" for it to show in the file.

[j0ney3]

Ok,

I spoke w/ a_berezin and he was totally cool w/ me posting a mod, actually, he wanted me to do some real work, not just throw up an ugly hack, but I'm too lazy, sorry LOL! ;)

So, here it is, a quick patch for those of you whom already have a_berezin's wonderful GoogleFroogle Add-On.

Steps:

1) Download the files http://www.lethalperformance.com/GoogleFroogleMod.zip
2) Unzip
3) Upload as usual
4) Run the sql patch as normal
5) Configure the "condition" option that will now be available

Seeing as the condition is soon to be required, I set it to always be there, so if you don't want condition set to something, stay away from this mod!

CAVEAT: I've tested this of course, however, my upload file still hasn't been processed by google base so USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!

If this breaks your stuff, sorry. To revert this, just re-upload the original googlefroogle.php from a_berezin.

Thanks,
Jonas
