Line 452 should be:

$_cleaner_array = array(">" => "> ", "®" => "", "®" => "", "™" => "", "™" => "", "\t" => "", "    " => "");

Line 452 should be:

$_cleaner_array = array(">" => "> ", "®" => "", "®" => "", "™" => "", "™" => "", "\t" => "", "    " => "");

I finally got it work, but still have a question.
I set Compress Feed File to true, but the feed still show up in xml ext

When I set up a cron job to get the the googlefeeder file, I get this error:

500 EOF when chunk header expected

Also, when I try to do the Create/Upload Feed through the zen cart admin, 90% of the time it'll do this:

A word to the wise: Update Google Product Search (daily)

I have a catalog of products that hasn't changed much in a month or two. I've been busy on other projects. Because nothing changed i didn't update/submit froogle feed.

I used to be one of the first products listed for common searches. I go back and lo and behold I was DROPPED!

So, lesson learned. Do the cron job task mentioned on the admin page and this won't happen to you.

Postscript: I resubmitted after being dropped and all my reviews came back and it looks like my position was restored. I was re-listed about 24hrs after I resubmitted.

Live and learn!

When I set up a cron job to get the the googlefeeder file, I get this error:

Nevermind, had to use mget and it fixed the problem.

ok. I have updated to the latest version of google feeder (11). And I am still having issues uploading. I can manually do it, but not from the web interface. Eventually I will cron job it.

When I upload products a pop-up window opens and reads:

Google Base Feeder v.1.6.11 03.27.2008 00:05:59 started 2008/04/02 07:52:42
Feed file - /home/content/i/n/k/inkuyo/html/feed/googlebasehd_products.xml
Processing: Feed - No, Upload - Yes
Upload started...

in the lower left it is processing for a little bit, then reads done. Nothing ever uploads and I get no errors. Any ideas?

I have another question too. On another site I updated to the latest feeder and now only 269 products exported to my xml file instead of the over 1000 products. Any ideas?

The previous versions had duplicate products. The latest version will only ever use one products_id. Before products with attributes were showing up multiple times as identical duplicates since the feeder did not alter anything for the attributes. The change was added to help with timeouts since the duplicates are just eating up more of the cpu.
