Windows Live Product Search Contribution Support Thread

If you'd like, there is a feature in the ePier exporter that you can copy to the Google Base Feeder. It is a conditional statement near the beginning of the output section (after the products_query) that starts writing at 'X' number of products. So, you'd first put start = 1, max_products = 1000, then start = 1001, max_products = 2000 and so on.

Change the permissions of the feed folder to 777, then delete the livesearch.xml file and let it create a new one itself.

[arik7648]

it's not what you think

All permission was install before, it's not first feed in the folder

Follow the second part of his advice.

I'll take a look at that and try to modify the script.

Currently I backup the store to my local computer and then run the script locally. Of course I have to modify the output to add the correct urls and manually upload the file but it works.

If I can get this to work on the server then I can use a cron job to do this automatically. My php skills are minimal but may try the epier solution.

Any plans to integrate it into a future release (thought I had to ask :))?

[numinix]

I've got a lot of contributions to support now, probably too many. I'm going to most likely integrate the feeders into a single universal script, and at that time I will definitely have maximum features.

At this time I have no plans to add that functionality just yet...

Good afternoon Zenners ...
I have a question about when the items in a catalog become searchable.

Yesterday, I finally managed to get a shop's catalog to FTP up and to start processing. I promptly followed the same procedure on 3 other stores, and left them in 'processing' status. This morning they were still in 'processing' status, but this afternoon, all 4 showed a published status, 1 with a yellow triangle and !, and 3 with a green circle and check mark, though all 4 had some errors.

From what I've turned up in the doc, I thought when the catalog status became published, all the items not in error would be searchable on products.live.com, but there are no items at all showing up. Maybe I still have to wait 36 hours? Any input would be appreciated, as I feel in over my head again <grin>.

Thanks!

Well, apparently my assumption wasn't accurate, this morning the items are showing up in the Products Live Search. So even though the catalog showed up as published yesterday, the items were not yet to the point of being searchable. There is a quirk or two. If I search for the URL, as the doc suggests, only 40 or 50 items show up, but if I search with specific key words, many more items show up. Is that copacetic ?

Thanks,
