Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[MachaNeko]

does anyone know if its possible to add a few lines of code to be able to override the expiration date and the google checkout?

my issue is when i try to upload the file to google base its giving me an error that says "item's expiration date is greater than 31 days" and for google, i want to change it so <gayment_accepted>GoogleCheckout</gayment_accepted> is deleted from all feeds.

is this possible?

thanks!

did a feed file actually get created?, and if you open it, doe it look like all the info is there?

Sorry to take so long to reply fvb, but I have only just got roung to looking at this again, as important as it is to me.

Yes, a file was created and it looks ok to me.

I had thought that my problem was that I was trying to link into the google base account that was linked to my name rather than the website. I have sorted this out with goole and also created an new ftp account. When I went to upload my login failed about 8 times out of 10. Logging in to view the feed has been equally problematic, although I have just started getting in. It is reporting 0 uploads though!! (Mind you, I have only just uploaded)

So, I still don't do where I am.

Any advice would be apreciated.

Philip

Hi Numinix,
Thanks for the offer but I think I'm ok on the the installation.
The problem is that the mod. did not put my web add. into any of the links. That is why the 1st upload failed. It wasn't until I edited the .xml file GBF generated and added my web add. into all the links that I was able to get a successful upload.
I tried the install twice, double checked the local of all files and I used cut and paste with notepad++ to install the .sql patch. I did not use upload.

Thanks,Jim

Has anybody gotten this mod to work ?
I have not been able to figure out the problem so far so unfortunately I have had to uninstall it.
If anybody has any suggestions I would love to hear them.
Thank's in advance,Jim

The mod works great, google base on the other hand is goofy. For some reason every site I have use this or the other google base/froogle mods with take about a month to work. Just make really sure you have followed the directions exactly, set up a cron job, and ignore the errors for about a month. Then (magicaly as far as I can tell) google decides it like you and will accep your feed.

Alright I figured it out, got the feed to upload an all, but it's only generating a feed of 1 out of my 400 items! Plus its listing it all as 1 word (i.e. welcometozencartpleasesignin). What going on?

well, i'm no expert, but when I had that problem, I had to remove all the files from this mod and reinstall them. (one of them must have been corupt)

also make sure your settings are right in admin/config
