Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[chalfontgifts]

I have a problem.

If I change the name of the file that is produced in the configuration, it still seems to produce the file name frooglefeed.txt and not the new file name.

I want to use the name froogleupload.txt

Regards
Laurie

I am using the latest version.

Just to add to my problem above, if you add the filename directly to the database it works fine, so it must be something to do with the code that writes the new file name to the datatabase in the configuration. I have tried to find where this is in the code but with no results. Anyone any ideas. Does anyone else have the same problem.

Regards
Laurie

The discrepency in names under the configuration and tools isn't important. I'll change it in the configuration in the next release.

If you are having trouble connecting with FTP it may be an issue with your hosting.

I am getting the following error when I try to connect to google:

Never mind I am not getting that error any more but I am getting the same error as post #152.

If you are having trouble connecting with FTP it may be an issue with your hosting.

Also, sometimes the upload will fail on the first attempt but if you attempt again right away, it will connect. The FTP portion of the code works and was written by Andrew Berezin. It uses basic PHP FTP functions through your server to connect to the Google FTP. If there are issues with using FTP on your server, this is an issue with your hosting. From time to time there may also be issues on Google's end of the FTP. These are all isolated from the Google Base Feeder.

Sorry dumb question but I have to ask..

I am using Andrews (a_berezin) version (1.3.7 or earlier) and I need to upgrade.

For an upgrade to the new 1.4.8 is this the correct procedure?..

1. Run ‘uninstall.sql’
2. Upload new files
3. Run ‘Googlefroogle.sql’

Cheers!

[numinix]

Yes, that is correct. You can overwrite the files that are uploaded. However, be careful with the files which are core overwrites. For these files rename to .bak before uploading and also do a database backup.

[Woodymon]

That shouldn't be possible since his version doesn't support the product_type...?

The version I use does ;-)

[numinix]

Ah, then you are using a custom version. The final version by Andrew (v1.3.3) uses "label" in place of the "product_type" which was the first change I ever made in version v1.3.4.

I am considering switching to rss 2.0 but this would be a major update and I have yet to learn XML. Could you please reply to my PM.
