Read carefully. Each one is different. One is for products, one for downloads and the other for documents.

I am not exactly sure what's causing the problem but we are experiencing two issues after upgrading to 1.6.1

1. The script is appending products.xml to the output file name which end up rendering the output file name to not match the filename registered with Google.

2. Since upgrading to version 1.6.1 it's only generating about 70% of our product in the feed. I am not sure if this is related to the new parameter for figuring out what a product is versus download, document, etc. Reverting back to 1.5.3 solves the problem and all 10,583 products are included in the feed.

Both Yahoo product submit and Live product feed works fine and generate all active products.

I have temporarily downgraded to 1.5.3 so we can at least upload all products.

Thanks!

The documentation for 1.6.1 needs to be updated. But, you basically create three cron jobs for each product type and register each file with Google with the new name. You won't have any downtime since your old feed will still be active until you delete it.

Numinix, is you post addressing my issues of the script not generating all the products in the feed? I don't see how a cron job will solve my problem. The cron job will still upload only the file generated which is what I am having issues right.

All the other script works far as far as generating the right amount of products but the google base is not working unless I revert back to 1.5.3 which is what I've done until such a time when my issue is resolved.

Thanks!

You mentioned some other feed places.

Both Yahoo product submit and Live product feed works fine and generate all active products.

I have looked at yahoo and at msn and cant find product feed info.
Where can I find this and are there any fees associated?
Do you use the same feed generated for google base for the other two?

Thanks,
John
