Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[batteryman]

To uninstall all you had to do was run the uninstall.sql for that version which you are removing. You also can't just upgrade from 1.33 all the way to 1.4.10 without running a lot of sql files. It's better to run the uninstall.sql and then just overwrite your files.

This is what you should do now, run the uninstall.sql for the latest version and if there is a configuration settings profile for "Google Froogle Feeder" you will also need to run one of the older uninstall.sql files that removes "Google Froogle Feeder".

Next, reupload the entire file package except for the files that are for the UPC/ISBN module (in the next release I won't be including these files by default). Then run the googlefroogle.sql file and it should all be installed correctly. The reason you are getting BOX_GOOGLEFROOGLE is because you are missing one of the admin files which defines this constant.

Good luck.

OK, first of all , I did it all over again and it all worked as you suggested however i did the exact same last night and I had the problem mentioned. Which leads me to believe you have a magic touch or I really should try to work so late when Im exhausted.

I then added all of the modification including the weight and the one that you mentioned above that helps your titles and descriptions and it is all working.

I will now move on to the bread crumb issue I will try to do this on my own cause I have pestered you enough, cant wait for the newest release.

Thank you so much for your time

The errors should be fixed in version 1.5.0.

Numinix, I am assuming this code

$content["guid"] = '<guid isPermaLink="false">' . $products->fields['products_id'] . '</guid>'; 

is the reason why it's using product_id instead of product_model as configured in on the admin configuration page.

The code is not using the setting from Show Offer ID.

Thanks!

Here is a really generally summary of what you should do. First of all did you upgrade or start from a fresh install??

Yes this was a fresh install.

I had tried both way. If you started fresh do not install any of the previous sql updates only the current sql for 1.5.1.

all i did was install the v1.5.1 sql file.

Then reinstall the googlefroogle feeder files files to your server and then go to your store admin>tools>install sql patches and copy and paste the sql install file into the big open box and then hit send. should take care of your problem

I uploaded all the files where they should go according to the read me file contained in the download. And kept getting all sorts of errors. I cannot give you these errors as I have officially given up on this untill I have had enough coffee to put my head through all this again

I also had to create a blamk xml file in the folder FEED and upload it to my server. be sure to name the file the same as the file name specified in your configuration in admin>configuration>Google Base Feeder Configuration

did this too.

I am stuck, I have done all you said, and it will not work.

My only hope really is for the mod developer to install it for me to see if i did anything wrong, alhough after spending over 3 1/2 hours doing it, checking and re-checking the work I feek and know i followed the read me file to the letter.


Thanks for your help though.

I will give it another go after my head has stopped swelling up.

Cheers

I'm going to remove that SQL configuration unless someone feels strongly that it should remain.

g:id and guid are used to uniquely identify the products. Unless your products share the same product id, which they shouldn't, then this will be the most unique number as your zen cart will never reuse the product_id. This isn't something that is displayed by Google Base but is important for updating your products.

I'll bet you uploaded the UPC/ISBN files without installing their lines in the SQL... Just wait for v1.5.2 which has removed this and requires you to install that mod separately.

Thats where i went wrong, as i have no clue what you just said to me!

What is the UPC and the ISBN?

[numinix]

v1.5.2 GOOGLE BASE FEEDER

1. Code optimization;
2. Added g:weight attribute (optional);
3. Added troubleshooting to the readme.txt;
4. Automatically creates the .xml file if it does not already exist;
5. Removed UPC/ISBN mod as required (must now install separately);

[TJR Stores]

cool.

Thanks for the update.

But can someone please tell me what the UPC/ISBN is?

Do I need it for this mod to work?

You do not need UPC/ISBN for this mod to work as Numinix has explained in previous posts and with 1.5.2 release.

If you're interested in finding out what UPC/ISBN mod is you can read up in that thread located here: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...upc%2Fisbn

ok thanks.

But I am looking for the google config thing. in zen admin.

Its not there.!!!


I am leaving this mod for now.


I will wait till someone can give me the help i need. it can't simply be done over a forum board.

Thanks for all your help guys and gals, but i think i will have to wait till after the weekend to get this done.
