Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[MichaelD]

Hmm, do you get this error with all SQL patches? Perhaps you should make a new thread as this thread is for issues specific to the Google Base Feeder.

Thanks for your response.

The only other mod that I have installed requiring an SQL patch was Google Sitemap Admin and I used the install_googlesitemap.php method of installation as it appeared, from the instructions given, the simpler way to do it.

From what you say, I can now imagine that if I'd tried the cut and paste method with the Sitemap mod, the same thing may have happened.

Please can you suggest which would be the most appropriate forum for me to start a new thread in on this subject?

You need to set all your products that are not map_enabled to 0.

Then if map_enabled = 0, it will be included, otherwise it won't.

Or try <> 1

There isn't != for SQL

I took the ! out, still nothing.

I ended up uploading a fresh copy and adding the p.map_enabled in the select list & AND p.map_enabled = 0 to the very last query. Worked liked I needed it to!

Thank you SO very much for your help, and for your patience.

I'm using version 1.6.7 and all the entries are duplicated. ZC 1.38a

The first time I uploaded to Google Base there were errors. I went through the XML file and manually removed all the duplicates and its now fine by Google Base.

Looking through the XML file I see all the products are duplicated between <item> and </item>. The first entry is perfect, but the second entry usually has some missing info, like the <title> tag is empty.

I have two languages on my site, but I've set the Google Base Feeder Configuration as:

Show Feed Lanugage: true
Feed Language: English

Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,

I'm having an issue with getting my catalog published. I have the base feeder installed and seems to be working fine. I can create the catalog and when I manually publish through the admin, it tells me the upload was successful. The problem is that the upload never shows up in my google base account. When I try to manually upload the file directly through google base I get the error: We didn't understand the header (first) row of your file. Please make sure you're using valid attribute names.

Any ideas as to how to resolve the problem....I'm using v 1.3.8a

Not sure why, but your feed file is not exporting the products:

1. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

What is the solution to this problem? Do you think an uninstall and reinstall of files would help?

How did you originally add these products to your ZEN CART site?
