Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

Woodymon, that is a good point. In fact, from now on I'll have the file chmod the feed file to 777 and then back to 655 before closing. For now, rename as woodymon has suggested.

Relatedly I think the directory the feed file is written to needs to be 777 or similar so the file can be overwritten during the feed generation.

Can you automate changing directory permissions also?

v1.4.9 beta - GOOGLE BASE FEEDER

1. Code optimization;
2. Updated configuration_group_title;

Code optimization includes a mistake on the specials pricing. Not sure if this will correct the duplicate entries issue as stated above.

Also changed the configuration name to GOOGLE BASE FEEDER CONFIGURATION. Use the update.sql to change the name.

Upload/Overwrite the following files:

/googlefroogle.php
/includes/languages/english/googlefroogle.php

P.S. reason for beta is because I have not determined what is causing the duplicate entries for above poster and may or may not have corrected it with this version.

1.4.9 generated the google base file faster but it did not resolve the duplicate issue. If you want me to email you a subset of the file generated please let me know.

Hi,

I am getting ready to put my store live, I am using google checkout, and would like to have the "google checkout" badge show for the products in my google base account.

The google base people suggest that you set a "Google Checkout" attribute (don't know if the space should be there or not) for the payment_notes (and not the payment_) column on the bulk upload file.

A couple of questions about this:
1. Do I really need that the payment_notes column with the "Google Checkout" attribute to have the badge show up? (there is also some general confusion about the payment_accepted field, I am included here)
2. If so, how do you deal with this detail? I am thinking on modifying my uploaded googleFroogle.PHPs which might end up being a butchery:)

Thanks very much in adavance

Find out the attribute and I'll have it added in a couple of days.

What you are saying is that although you've set in the Google Base Configuration to use file feed.txt, it continues to write to froogle.txt? When you upgraded to the latest version, did you reupload all the files (except the core overwrites identified in the readme.txt file)? Talk to me in PM and I will take a look at your configuration.[/FONT]

1.4.9 generated the google base file faster but it did not resolve the duplicate issue. If you want me to email you a subset of the file generated please let me know.

It's strange because the two files are nearly identical in structure (1.3.3 and 1.4.9). I will take a look at it again today. You can email me a sample to webmaster AT numinix DOT com

I've figured out the problem and will have it corrected shortly.
