Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[numinix]

Timeouts are addressed in the documentation as well as about 100 times throughout the thread...

[fvb]

yes, I found the time-out setting in the docs, I guess I was hoping there was another cause, and solution to the problem. my sites are hosted on a shared server, and I do not think i have access to change those settings

[schunard]

I just installedthe Google feed mod, set up my FTP info.
When I go into tools, Google Database Feeds and click in the links to upload a feed, a small window opens up but it is empty.
Wondering what I'm doing wrong.

Had to change the categories filter function as the original was not working - the foreach was falling over every time on the first integer in the array, only filtering for the category and none of the others.

Function inside the public_html/googlefroogle.php

function numinix_categories_check($categories_list, $products_id, $charge) {
      if ($categories_list == ''){
      if ($charge == 1) {
        return true;
      } elseif ($charge == 2) {
        return false;
      }
    } 

else 

{

$categories_array = split(",",$categories_list); 
reset($categories_array);
while (list(, $category_id) = each($categories_array)) {
   
        if (zen_product_in_category($products_id, $category_id)) {
      return true;
        return false;
        }     
}  
 } 
  }

Whatup people thanks for all your help...I noticed on http://www.numinix.com besides Google Base Feeder, there is also the RSS Feed module.

Can the RSS Feed module be used to add products to google base as well as other sites that take product fees by RSS?

If I can just install that, then that's the way I think I"d like to go.

Thanks!

[numinix]

No the RSS Feed module does not support Google Base, nor does it create an exported file for uploading.

        }     
}  
 } 
  }

Yikes, don't even ask what happened there. A patch will be released.

I installed this about 3 months and has been running smoothly. Now I am also getting these errors. Is this because of the above code change?
