Windows Live Product Search Contribution Support Thread

Ehh...not worth it anymore. I'll just use an FTP program to put the file up there once a week....as long as the Google one works I'm fine....I get most of my customers from Google anyways.

I'm working on the FTP portion to see if it can be altered to work better for Live. Right now it is virtually the same as the GBF.

maybe a problem with your edited style sheet blocking the screen

It was a problem with his database. Installing from phpmyadmin solved his issue. If anyone wishes to use phpmyadmin, make sure you account for database prefixes.

Publicly thank you for your willingness and your support...thank you Numinix!

Your host would offer dedicated IP's as an upgrade on your current package.

You can increase the timeout length in php.ini as well as the Zen Cart admin as described earlier in this thread and also in the Google Base Feeder support thread (I believe it also states in the GBF readme.txt as well).

I took your advice to make all the recommended changes. But I still couldn't get it to work. I did step 1 and the message is:
Feed file - /home/dealbyet/public_html/feed/lps.xml
Processing: Feed - Yes, Upload - No

When I view my product feed file in Firefox at http://www.dealbyethan.com/feed/lps.xml, I received this:
XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location: http://www.dealbyethan.com/feed/lps.xml
Line Number 13087, Column 9:</Offer>
--------^

whereas in IE7, it seems to work but at the end of the page, I have this:
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

Also, step 2 gave me this message:
Feed file - /home/dealbyet/public_html/feed/lps.xml
Processing: Feed - No, Upload - Yes
Upload started...
Connection failed: ftp.productupload.live.com
Warning: ftp_connect() [function.ftp-connect]: php_network_getaddresses: getaddrinfo failed: Name or service not known
Upload failed...

I then signed in to productupload.live.com. I created a new catalog with the following details.

File type: product search XML (.xml)
Delimiter: left this unselected

Choose file upload method: through browser

I uploaded lps.xml through browser but I get this message:
Catalog rejected: Not in the expected XML format.
Correct the format, and then try your upload again.

Can anyone who got it working please help? I have been testing this for a long time with no luck still. Thanks in advance.

If you try the latest version on the Numinix site, you may find that it will solve problems for sites with a larger number of products.

Your feed is timing out and not closing the tags at the end of the file. I know you aren't using the latest version because I have removed image handler and your post shows an image created by image handler...

Yes, you are right. It seems to be working and the status is processing. Thanks a lot :)
