Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[sobebabies]

I am getting an error when I try to create my google feed:

Froogle Data Feeder v.1.4.8 17.07.2007 18:06 started 2008/09/18 11:31:02
Feed file - /home/content/t/e/s/test1/html/shop/feed/google-base.txt
Processing: Feed - Yes, Upload - No
Froogle File Complete In 54.109161 Seconds 205 Records
2013 Lost connection to MySQL server during query
in:
[select count(*) as total from sessions where sesskey = 'bd01680209009a0f7976dcabb24ec82b']

Warning: Unknown(): A session is active. You cannot change the session module's ini settings at this time. in Unknown on line 0

If I run the SQL query manually, the count is 0. Not really sure where to go next to clear out whatever it thinks is going on. This all started because of a database timeout about a week ago when my site was running painfully slowly.

v1.7.0 has been released which supports the News and Articles Manager. Also fixes the bugs for invalid characters which were still included in v1.6.17. The module has also been restructured to move all of the functions into a class google_base().

The number of parameters passed to the script through the URL has been reduced from 3 to 1 to avoid problems with the cron missing a parameter and thus making the command fail.

The new structure of the single parameter is as follows:

example /googlefroogle.php?feed=fy_uy_tp

This would mean yes (y) create the feed (f), yes (y) upload (u) the feed, and set the type (t) to products (p).
Other types are (d) downloads, and news (n).

In version v1.7.0 Are there any sql updates after you
Upload/Overwrite all files?

Thanks

I installed the latest version 1.6.17. It had no readme file that I could find, so I did what I could. now when I go to create my feed I get an error: "ERROR: yes is not a valid feed template".

I saw a previous poster had that same error that resulted from a Wordpress conflict. Is there any way around this?

No there aren't.

Thank you for your hard work and support on this Module.

I am getting successful upload messages for both the documents and products folders, yet no items are showing up within my Google Base account under the "items listed". Not even a date for last upload.

I am able to successfully upload one item at a time. Everything a-ok and the item does show under "my listed items:.

Not sure about the chmod to 777 deal though.

Not even entirely sure if this is the right feed folder that was suppose to change?

/public_html/taogemst_myzencart/feed

Any way..... I have to guess that have set or not set something wrong within my Google Base Feeder Config??

Any suggestions and help sure would be appreciated

Have you registered the feed file and made sure the filenames match on your server and what you've registered? Google should send you an error email if the feed names do not match.

Please read through the documentation:

Thanks Numinix,

All is well. Everything is working and products are active.

Looking good!!

I upgraded to 1.7 and I am looking at the result from my cron job email result. Looks like it ran successfully.

Cron <danilo@server3> wget http://www.mydanilo.com/googlefroogl...&type=products

Now I connect with my ftp to my server and look at the /feed folder. My mydanilo_products.xml is NOT updated. Still the same old date.

Would the cron not also write a new file in the /feed folder before uploading?

With the old version I had noticed that a mydanilo_.xml got written to the /feed folder even though I defined mydanilo_products.xml as the feed file.

mydanilo_products.xml gets created fine if I just use the admin to do it.
