Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[numinix]

Try changing the max execution time in php.ini. I have no other solution than that. You can find this information in the first couple of posts in this thread.

Numinix, I am going to ask this question but don't slap my hands for asking. Is there a way to convert the xml generated to a text file?

[numinix]

Not within this script. You'd have to rewrite it.

I just uploaded 1.5.3 a and update .sql and it isn't creating the correct feed. (it was working before I updated everything)
I changed my output file name from ***.txt to ***.xml--> registered the new file with googlebase-->created a new file-->uploaded file to google base

the new file created does not contain any of my products:

 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?> 
- <rss version="2.0" xmlns:g="http://base.google.com/ns/1.0">
- <channel>
  <title>Mommy and Baby Essentials</title> 

  <link>GOOGLE_BASE_ADDRESS</link> 

  <description>GOOGLE_BASE_DESCRIPTION</description> 

  </channel>


  </rss>

I have uploaded everything 2 times.
Any ideas what I did wrong?
Thanks

All of a sudden it works.

Maybe the server was under heavy load yesterday. Anyway, it's all good now. Thanks!

I fixed it!! I deleted all of the google froogle files....uninstalled all .sql files and started over. For some reason overwriting the files did not work...oh well it's fixed!!!

Has anyone been able to use this script with over 1000 products without editing the php.ini or .htaccess files?

Hi numinix,
I have 2047 items: before even going into the timeout, I've got the following error, while creating feed:

error on line 487 at column 6594: Entity 'eacute' not defined

I'm going to look for the meaning of it, but if you happened to know what it is all about, I will very much appreciate your help,

Thanks,

[0101101011]

Well, just to speed up the process at this moment I have replaced all 'eacute' characters with the regular 'e'.
Now about the timeout: I have 2024 active items - the results of running the feed are as follow:

"Google Base Feeder v.1.5.3 28.08.2007 10:25 started 2007/09/01 01:59:49
Feed file - (...) /feed/google_base.xml
Processing: Feed - Yes, Upload - No
Google Base File Complete In 4.271262 Seconds 2024 Records

So, it seems like it populated all items, however, I've got another error message:

This page contains the following errors:
error on line 25275 at column 343010: internal error

It seems to me like end of the file anyway, I'm not sure what the error is about - any clues?
Thanks,

I thought mine was working correctly when I ran it early in the morning (less server load?) but I found that it only output 1,295 products. I have over 4,000 products.

Hi - I've ran into something like this: 2 possible scenarios: an actual error (i.e. unrecognized character, etc.) - you can see that if you view the xml file via Tools>Google Base Feeder >view (in Step 1).
Or: you have linked items, in which case the xml will generate only the 'master category' files (at least this is what I believe after playing with it a bit).

Maybe someone could confirm that - Thanks,
