Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

oh really? jeez. glad to have an answer.

unfortunately the wordpress module is essential, so i guess i'll just do the xml file by hand!

You can try the fix posted earlier in the thread. I'm not sure how it affects wordpress though...

Quick question ( is there such a thing??lol!)

I created a feed file today. The expiration date looks like this:

<g:expiration_date>2008-09-07</g:expiration_date>

Does this mean it will expire today??

Also what does this option in the admin mean?

"Expiration Date Adjust"

[marvin]

just found the googlebase details for each field in the file and it shows that this is the expiration for this item.

How do I set it to be a date in the future?????????????

Where in the admin do I do this??

Thanks

Why don't you read your first post a little more carefully. Or give me a nobel prize for time travel :)

Configuration is done from the admin->configuration->google base feeder configuration.

Hi am i a new user to Zen Cart we only decided in the last couple day to move shopping carts from oscmax to Zen Cart we are in the middle of installing mods for Zen and we are having trouble with MSN Live & Froogle Feeder I have installed both mods ok run both mods to test and only get two products in xml files this applies to both mods I have increased variable settings in PHP.ini to

max_execution_time = 300max_input_time = 90memory_limit = 64M

but still only exports two products I have checked log files on linux based system and have no error entries for mods I am assuming that i must have dirty data in database causing the error export of products?

Many Thanks

Were these TWO products added after the migration?

I have no experience with migrating from OSC to ZC and can't tell you the difference. HOWEVER, a script called Zen Magic by MagicOne is used for storing and updating products into Zen Cart in a similar manner as OSC and I know that these products are NOT extractable by any of my mods. What you may want to try doing is exporting all of your products out of your database and then use excel to put them into Easy Populate file specifications and update your site using Easy Populate. The products should then become extractable from the database by these mods.

Perhaps DrByte, Ajeh or one of the other developers with first hand experience with OSC could tell us the difference in how products are stored in the database.

Hi Zen Flower,

All product are already in the Zen Cart Database in the correct format as required we use windows based program to import all products which is much faster than easy populate I have not used that mod for product for couple of years now. any other ideas as I have now errors logged very strange ?.

Many Thanks

Sorry, not Zen Magic. It's called Zen Manager and it is a Windows-based program that does not store products in the database as Zen Cart does normally. If you continue to use this program, you will need to follow my previous instructions or try using MagicOne's commercial script (at a price) for feeding your products to Google.

Yes, Numinix "2008", sometimes the obvious is not so obvious to tired eyes.
At the same time facetious comments do not answer the questions I asked.
I already found the answers to my questions in that post. i would have rather given you a Nobel prize for helping me out with my problem.

Now, let's start fresh.

Can ANYONE tell me what are the CORRECT permissions for images folder so Google base can access it. Ive read through a number of posts but still dont know the answer. Most of the discussion concern using other contribution.

I uploaded my files to Google Base and everything works EXCEPT no images, just placeholders. Google tech said he gets an 403 error for my images.
