Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

Try upgrading to the latest version.

Uh... Is this an automated response? I just explained that I had updated to the latest version because I knew that would be the first reply. The results I just posted show v 1.5.3

Current version is 1.6.7 which has been out since Dec. 5th.

Yes. 1.5.3 is not the latest version. The latest version will display 1.6.7.

Sigh... Perhaps update the ZenCart website? Or, if you aren't supporting it there anymore for some reason, place a notice or remove it?

Hmm. I thought it over and have decided to upload all current versions to the Zen Cart website. I will now maintain both download sections with the latest updates.... Starting in the morning :)

Numinix (or anyone else who has an answer), do you know if this mod really works with sites with a relatively large amount of products?


I have three sites, on has just over 3,000 products, the other two have over 15,000 products. This mod works perfectly on the site with about 3000 products, but on the sites with more products it only produces a file for about 5,000 products.


I would think this might be due to a time out, but I always get the successful file created message: "Processing: Feed - Yes, Upload - No"


If I try to open the created file with excel, it gives me this error message:
=======
The file cannot be opened because: The following tags were not closed: rss, channel
=======


Also, although Google processes all products in the file, it also gives this error:
======
We didn't understand some of the XML formatting in your file. You may be missing a tag or have a nesting or formatting error. Bad data line #75726
======
That's the last line from the file and it just has </item> in it.

I've been updating to every new version as soon as it is released hoping that'll be the version that works; unfortunately, that's not been the case for me.

Hi tj1,

Sorry, that hasn't been a priority, but I will keep it in mind. My Numinix site has never had over 500 products listed and now that I rely on Google Base even less I probably won't be looking to optimize the module for larger amounts. Actually your script is timing out even though it is still displaying the message. Otherwise, it would having the closing XML tag. I am planning to have an all-in-one script for most of the price comparison websites, including ones I've already released, that will be optimized for larger sites. Honestly though, your server plays a major roll. The script should be ready by early february and will depend largely on other projects that have to be finished first.

News updates will be posted on the Numinix website of what our future and current plans are.

That's a great idea, an all-in-one script. :)

Can you tell me if there's a setting in the new version that makes the script time out?

I haven't had a script time out in a long time caused by my host's configuration. the only times I've experienced time outs is when the script itself is programmed to end after a certain period of time.

Hi there, just checking to know if this all-in-one price feeder with optimized code is already available.
Is it available for purchase somewhere else?

Thanks
