Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[Ryk]

when I go to config, none of the configuration items are displayed. Yes, my admin is renamed, do I need to modify something to accomodate this?

Are you running Admin Profiles? If so, you may need to give yourself permission to view. (Was just caught out myself on another mod with the same lack of visibility. )

[Zinfandel]

Did you upgrade this from a previous version? You appear to be running an older version with a recent SQL. I'm not sure how you did that, but can you please reupload all of the files including googlefroogle.php located in the root of your store directory and the admin directory (rename to your admin folder name before uploading).

Numinix:
I did what you suggested, and reuploaded the files. The feed seems okay, but I still can't see any of the config line items on the config screen.

Ryk:
Thanks for the tip, but I have no idea what you mean by Admin Profiles. I guess then my answer is no, I'm not running Admin Profile.

There is a mod by Kuori called "Admin Profiles". You can find out if it is installed and if an AP setting is contributing to your issue by going to ZC Admin > Tools > Admin Settings > then click Edit Permissions for "ID1" (orange sphere with the letter P). (I am assuming here, if you have AP installed, you are logging into ZC admin with the username associated with ID1).

A menu of checkboxes will appear for ALL your ZC admin menu items. Look near the bottom for "googlefroogle" and "GoogleFroogle Configuration" and ensure both are checked.

The symptoms you describe of one menu item missing from your Tools menu AND the security clearance message you observed may indicate you have Admin Profiles installed and possibly one of those boxes are not checked.

But then again you may not have Admin Profiles installed another possibility is the GBF mod sql patch may not be properly patching your shop DB when run from Tools > "Install SQL Patches" page, so you may want to patch via phpmyadmin.

THANKS numinix this is a great mod. I installed 1.5.2 on ZC 1.3.7 and added the UPC/ISBN without a hitch.

I liked that the old version produced a .txt file because it allowed me to edit it.

Example:
I sell new, used, and refurbished, the 1.5.2 admin can only be set to a single condition for all products.
On some items I offer google checkout. If the feed includes this info, a GC icon will appear by your listing.

There are many attributes that you can pass in a google feed, and trying to code every one of them would be fruitless. If you were to bring back the .txt file you would make an excellent mod perfect (at least for me).

You can edit an XML file as well. If you are using Windows you can use the built-in XML editor or just use any text editor.

You gave me a good idea to include the condition as an additional attribute in my Auction Site Attributes add-on for bulk listing files.

If you were to bring back the .txt file you would make an excellent mod perfect (at least for me).

The world around you is moving to XML so you want to learn how to manipulate XML files.

Options abound.

Import the XML file into Excel and edit it, then upload.

Or just open the xml file in a text editor and edit it.

Or after uploading your feed edit your products in GoogleBase GUI.

Since so many of my mods support the Auction Site Attributes add-on, I have created it's own release announcement thread here:

Please read the readme.txt. I shouldn't have to repeat that again in this thread.

i have read the readme text but im slightly confused about the sql update :

Go to Admin->Tools->Install SQL Patches and install googlefroogle.sql by copying and pasting (do not upload);

When i copy and paste the code into the box and send it i get a long list of problems when it tries to execute . I wasnt sure if it was safe to post the long list of code if it is i will.

[numinix]

Paste it with PHP blocks around it.
