The file should be registered as .xml

The file should be registered as .xml

In the feed file it is an .xml file but I'm having to go into my file system and copy the contents from within the folder, open notepad and save as a text file. I then manually upload to google. My products are getting published that way but I can't get them published using google base ftp from within the admin. It tells me the products upload ok but they never show up in google base. I have rechecked my ftp settings and all the settings are correct. I'm on a dedicated server and my host allows ftp transfers.

It sounds like you just need to tell google to expect an xml file rather than a txt file.

Ok, hopefully I can find some help with this...

I have version 1.6.8 installed and running (kinda)...

When I create a product feed all I get is a text file without any extension (not xml and no "_products.xml" on the end)

I have been making this work by calling the file "froogle.txt" and uploading that to Google...

But now they need the unique product ID in the file - I do have this turned on in the configuration, but it just won't show up in the text file... any ideas on what's going on? (the two problems may be related - but even if I can get the txt file to work would be great)

I am running zencart 1.3.8 - I have also uninstalled and reinstalled the mod to no avail - always get the same results...

Any help would be appreciated.

I don't know why but the base feeder started working tonight. I have changed no settings since I installed this mod. Maybe it was a google thing.
