Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[madfastride]

Sorry about any confusion I might have caused. I found out that the problem I was having was because of the conflicting Wordpress on Zencart modification and the Google Base Feeder and had nothing to do with the SEO mod.

Again sorry for any confusion

cheers,

I have had a cron job running for a few months now, and it worked great

GET 'http://www.shoepeddlers.com/googlefroogle.php?feed=yes&upload=yes&type=products' > /dev/null 2>&1

The file created was shoepeddlers_products.xml and all product were listed

My hosting company switched to a new server
the difference is
apache 2 as compared to 1.3.9
more cpus
more ram
more speed and better security
and a new version of cpanel

now the cron would not run untill I changed it to use “WGET”
now it runs, but it saves the files to shoepeddlers_.xml and no products are listed
the contence of the files is just this

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

I’ve been work with the hosting company, but we can’t seem to figure it out.

Any suggestions please

I have a problem when I set Magic SEO URL's to true, there's no output, I have Magic SEO URL's Installed.

everything works correctly with Magic SEO URL's set to false.

Is there some other configuration required?

I tried searching for a answer, but there's too many threads.

any help would be great

the MSN and Yahoo feeders do the same thing, work set to false, no out put when set to true.

Ok I read about this Magic SEO URL add-on for $25, question do I need this to make the magic SEO URL to work with google base feeder, and if so will it work for the MSN and Yahoo feeder?

Hello,

I just updated by feeder from a very old version to the latest version on the download pages. I'm using Zencart 1.3.7 and when I upload my feed to Google I'm getting errors. The errors are:

This attribute is no longer supported. Please use a supported attribute. for label.

We Recommend including this attribute for UPC, MPN, ISBN, and brand

The item is missing a required attribute for id. It seems to be blank for all my products in the feed.

Any ideas?

I'm having the exact same problem as fvb:

...it saves the files to shoepeddlers_.xml and no products are listed...

My host uses CPanel as well; my cron cmd line:

curl -s http://your_http_catalog/googlefroogle.php?feed=yes&upload=no&type=products

What am I missing?
