Windows Live Product Search Contribution Support Thread

[NFM]

I'm getting this error after installing the latest version and trying to upload my feed:
After reading nearly all of the posts in this thread, is it possible that the majority of the problems arrise from the fact that Windows Live itself SUCKS swampwater , and it isn't really this mod that causes problems?

I say that because the mod actually uploaded my feed once. Only once. Windows Live hasn't let me upload it again since.

I've never once been able to get my feed uploaded with this mod. However, I don't blame the mod at all. Honestly, looking through all my referrals on different stats pages I haven't had ONE referral from the Windows Live Product search....not ONE.

It uses the exact same upload functions as the Google Base Feeder. If someone can find better settings, please post them.

Yeah, it's not the mod. I can't get mine to upload either. I did it manually and after 5 days of being in the processes stage I contacted MS and asked them why it was still processing. They said there is a bug and it will be addressed in the next update. Shorlty after that I got a notice saying my feed I did manually was declined. "Had formatting errors and a couple other things so I don't know.

I'm not going to bother. Live bots are all over my site every day without that feed and I have more referals from them than google. I just used the google site map generator and submitted it to MSN and that got them here.

Sorry it took so long. I am still getting the same error as before with adding the %20 in the area where the spaces are.

Ok, it's to do with the illegal & symbol in your image names. I am adding a fix for this.

[tapupartforpres]

Ok thanks for your help, just let me know.

Try the latest version on the Numinix site.

Hey should I uninstall the other version and add this new one. Because when I copy and paste the SQL updates (first 1_0_3 and then second 1_0_5) when I go to the Install SQL Patches. I am not uploading the .txt file I am copying and pasting the text. When I do that I am getting an error:

1062 Duplicate entry 'LPS_MAGIC_SEO_URLS' for key 2

What am I doing wrong?

[ceegeeaar]

It sounds like the key is already there. Have you tried using the uninstall SQL and then reinstalling it?
