Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[taf]

Sorry about the hard coding it was getting late and i just needed to get my bulk upload done before the morning.

Tried the new if statement and this seems to work for me.

I'm now looking at one other small issue i'm getting with the product_type when i'm setting the product type to top, bottom and full I don't see any difference in the output of the xml file.

I always see a comma separated listed of the top and then subsequent categories, I'm going to look into this some more.

I'm now looking at one other small issue i'm getting with the product_type when i'm setting the product type to top, bottom and full I don't see any difference in the output of the xml file.

I always see a comma separated listed of the top and then subsequent categories, I'm going to look into this some more.

OK i think I've found the solution to this it's a one liner:

$product_type = zen_froogle_get_category($products->fields['products_id']);
                                array_pop($product_type); // removes category number from end
$product_type = explode(",", $product_type[0]); //Line added by taf.. 

It looks as if the $product type array is not formed properly, i.e only has element 0 that is made up of categories and sub categories separated by commas. The explode call seems to sort this out. So now top, bottom and full selections on product types work.

A slightly neater way of fixing this might be fix this problem in the function zen_froogle_get_category.

The file is googlefroogle.php

Ok -- I tried to weed my way through this thread to find my answer -- but nothing has worked so far.

I installed this mod on one of my client's sites and it worked perfectly.

Now I have installed it on another client's site - only difference being he has larger quantities and more products/categories. They are hosted with the same company, using the same plans, etc. But when I try to create the product feed xml, the window pops up, says it's done, but nothing happens. I check the feed folder and there is no file there. I made sure the feed folder chmod is 777 and I even tried re-uploading all the files to make sure I didn't miss anything. I also uploaded a php.ini file with the following code:

max_execution_time = 300
max_input_time = 90
memory_limit = 32M

So, any thoughts to what I may be doing wrong with this one? I just can't seem to figure out why this install would be different from the others. Everything was done the same.

Thanks in advance for your time. Great Mod!

Recently I started to use Magic SEO and I've got the new html urls now...
The problem is that the base feeder is talking th epld PHP urls... so now I'm afraid of having duplicated pages in google...
Is it possible for the script to use the new urls names??

Can you please PM me an admin and FTP account to your server so I can test the Magic SEO URLs for v1.6.3

[numinix]

If anyone has Magic SEO URLs installed, please PM me to allow testing of the latest Google Base Feeder to be able to output SEO URLS as links for products and images.

The script will in no way damage your server and has nothing to do with your online catalog.

Dear developer of this excellent mod,

Just wanna inform you that the included installation sql patch will delete configuration_key with configuration_group_id = 0

The effected keys are

PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_TYPE_SELECT
UPLOAD_PREFIX
TEXT_PREFIX

Deletion of above keys will effect the proper functionality of Zen Cart.

Now that I've got this mod working, I wonder if it is at all possible for special characters to exist in seo urls, and still use the feeder at the same time?? I would prefer if the categories and products don't run together. any way to avoid this and still have my feed work?

Thanks!

Hello,
Seems the feeder strips out all the quote (") marks. About 90% of my products use this character in the description to define measurements. Does the XML file require the quote marks be removed? If it does, then I will just have to live with it. If it doesn't, can the GBF be adjusted to leave the quote marks in?

Thanks
