Froogle Merchant Center merged into GoogleBase

[numinix]

My Google Base feed was accepted despite having sub categories in the product_type as well...!!!

Anyways, we should still try to create an update to the product listing that has a hidden field called product_type so that we can 100% avoid this situation.

Okay I am all set to go and I go to upload and it says it can't log me in?? I have checked my password and login email that I use for google checkout, is it the same?

Hi everybody,
I have been searching and searching these forums and can't find anything about my particular problem regarding this contribution.

I uploaded this contribution following ALL of the directions supplied and went into the control panel and everything is there and seems to be working but when I go and try to upload my product feed all I get is a blank popup window with a snails pace status bar.

Nothing happens and nothing gets uploaded. Then if I use "NOTE: You may view Froogle Merchants FTP content." I get this popup window that says "Froogle Merchants FTP content:Connected to: uploads.google.comConnection failed: uploads.google.com".

I can manually upload the generated file through google but zencart refuses to do so.
Anyone else had this problem. Thank you. :)

Have you put in your username and password in ADMIN -> CONFIGURATION -> GOOGLE FROOGLE CONFIGURATION ???

[beasleybub]

Yes, I have set my user name and password in the configuration.
I have followed all the directions supplied to a "t" and all seems ok except the fact I can't upload anything via the admin. Thanks

I fixed my ftp login and uploaded to google base, but nothing is showing up? I upload about 26 hours ago and again about 9 hours ago. Any ideas why it isn't showing up? I read earlier in the thread it should show up in a few hours.
Thanks

I'm also having the ftp from Admin problem. I've followed all the instructions and it just doesn't work. I can manually upload it and it works...at least until they manually review it.

I got an email today saying:

Your bulk upload has been
disapproved due to the reason(s) listed below.

Issues:

1. Wrong prices

What's happening is it's not picking up my sale prices. It's uploading the original price.

If it helps: My cart is V 1.3.7 and the version of the mod I used was the latest one uploaded into the downloads section. It was a fresh install of this mod.

I use the specials module and haven't had a problem. Do they specifically give you an example of a wrong price and it is one of your specials? If not, are you non-us, or your default currency is not USD?
If you read back, I had the same issue as a Canadian seller. The reason is that whenever your Zen Cart does a currency update, you need to also update google base immediately so that there is no discrepency between your shop price and Google. Setting cron jobs that work back to back is the solution.

As for the FTP, did you create your ftp account at google? I believ the link is located on the right side of the bulk upload page...

They gave me a specific link and it was to one of my items on special. I'm in the US so the currency isn't a factor either.

Yep, I created the ftp account at google and plugged the username and password into my admin.

Thanks for the suggestions though.
