Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[fvb]

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

it takes my feed about 30-60 min to show up after a upload

I have never had problems login into google, you may want to try starting a brand new account

skip the ftp for now and use the manual web upload, till you get it working
(this will take one more thing out of the equation and also give you error messages to help trouble shoot the problems

is google giving you error messages? if so, what are they?

Nope, no error messages just a one 1 item feed, it says upload ok everything else looks good except for the one item feed thats all

[byrd813]

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

I guess i'll try that

[MachaNeko]

you should find theses setting under the config area, in admin

ah thank you. i didn't see those for some reason.

i don't suppose anyone can help me figure out how to add attributes to my feeder? i don't need all these isbn and upc codes, i need the models that are attached to the items.

Example

like this item has a few models attached to it. i'm sorry i ask some stupid questions but i just don't want to break the site...again.

Alright, i realized why they weren't producing any feed, because the quantity fields for my items are set at 0. I kinda like the quantities at 0, so how do I make it "ignore" the quantity amounts so i can produce feeds?

Nevermind....I'm getting used to figuring things out myself now, i'm so proud...Thanx the the help though guyz!

First, sorry if this has been discussed before. I used Search and it only pointed out this thread, but not which page on the thread. I don't have the time to read through over 50 pages...

I just installed the G Base patch. Since I'm running ZenCart 1.37, I used patch v1.5.3, the last one listed as compatible with Zen 1.3.7. After pasting in the content of googlefroogle.sql, I got this response:

8 statements processed.
ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "" because it already exists
Note: 1 statements ignored. See "upgrade_exceptions" table for additional details.

The upgrade_exceptions table shows this record:

upgrade_exception_id: 1
sql_file: SQLPATCH
reason: Cannot insert configuration_key "" because it already exists
errordate: 2008-06-03 22:37:09
sqlstatement: INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_id, configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES

As a result, Admin -> Configuration -> Google Base Feeder Configuration only shows an empty table with columns Title/Value/Action and no content and Admin -> Tools -> Google Base Feeder brings PHP errors when clicking on the links in Step 1 and Step 2.

What can I do? Thanks!

wtf!? everything was going good, than...BOOM... my feeds process as ONEWORD! Like I want to go to the store is, "iwanttogotothestore" the descriptions, the titles everything... how do I fix this?

I know this has been ask, but I have read through the first 20 pages of this thread without finding the answer. Google base tells me that
Error

Could someone point me in the right direction. Thank you
