Hi yet again,

I had another problem with this contribution as well as with the sitemap contribution.

When they are installed (don't know which one or if both), they create a problem with the required attributes loosing their "required" status even though the admin page shows them as "required".

Here is a fix grantc in another thread found:

Hello,

i would like to add the shipping weight and the breadcrumbs that lead to each product.

I use the google feed for 5 different product search engines

1. Google Base
2. Yahoo Shopping
3. Nextag
4. MSN Product Live
5. Bizrate / Shopzilla

They all are pretty much the same however some need a couple different attributes an I have thousands of products so to find those 2 items that I need would be very cumbersome.

How could I get those to attributes added and what file do I change?

Thank you for you help

You can edit googlefroogle.php found in the root directory.

Ok however I dont know exactly what I need to add to get the weight and the breadcrumbs. Can you help, which in turn will make a version that will work for all 5 version of shopping comparison engines that I mentioned above.

You would need to edit the SQL query to also pull the products_weight and then write a line to output the products_weight under the appropriate heading.

I'm not sure what the breadcrumbs are as I've never used them.

Since upgrading my google base is now throwing errors. Here are some samples:

We were unable to match the attributes in this tab-delimited bulk upload line to the correct header attributes. There are a few common reasons why you might encounter this error:

Your bulk upload contains an invalid character for the current encoding setting or contains a disallowed character.

There are fewer columns in this row than in your header (first) row. You may be missing a delimiter.

I have tried generating this with and without the upc/isbn enabled in the configuration and I still get errors.

Any ideas on what I need to do different? Thanks!

Sorry for the confusion, I am a beginner on php so I need a little more guidance. mmm now that I think about it alot more lol

The breadcrumbs are the trail that lead to a product on top of the a zencart site. the link that say:

Home :: Notebooks :: Sempron :: ACER ASPIRE 3050-1270 AMD SEMPRON 3400+ 2.0 GHz 14.1" 120GB 1GB VH LAPTOP

I need this to e displayed in a column along with each product.

That was an example from your site. which I think I need to be linked to and you need to be linked to me. You offer the electronics and I offer the batteries to them. that is a side note.

There are possibly illegal characters in the description. I'll take a look at the sanitizer and see if it's possibly missing anything.
