Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[sadfurry]

Hello. I have 1.7.1 running, not picking up all items, downloaded from the addon section, so read this thread and have now downloaded the 1.7.3a from numinix site. Do I need to uninstall the old one then install this one in full? I am not sure how to uninstall everythingor even if I need to, and would appreciate some help.

Just upgrade your version 1.7.1 to 1.7.4 and copy and paste the update_1_7_3.sql code here or look in the Google base folder for it and insert it into your store admin/tools/install sql patches.

SET @configuration_group_id=0;
SELECT @configuration_group_id:=configuration_group_id
FROM configuration_group
WHERE configuration_group_title= 'Google Base Feeder Configuration'
LIMIT 1;
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
(NULL, 'Debug', 'GOOGLE_BASE_DEBUG', 'false', 'Turn on simple debug?', @configuration_group_id, 0, NOW(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(\'true\', \'false\'),');

I have ~10 items total that will get titled automaticly 100 different ways. I can't get the Feeder to pick up the 100 titles, all it sees is the 10 items.

For example, fuel pump #7 fits 1993-1999 Nissan Altima, so I need the feeder to pick-up 7 unique items. (ie item one is 1993 Nissan Altima Fuel Pump, item two is 1994 Nissan Altima Fuel Pump, etc. etc.)

Is this possible? test site is fuelpumpsusa.com click on nissan --> altima --> 93 or 94 has the SAME item but it gets renamed correctly through tpl_product_info_display.php

thank you,

What I was trying to ask is:

How can I make Google Feedeer submit LINKED items also ?

All my items are LINKED (not copied), I only have 10 actual product part numbers but 100 different item titles.

Please Help.

I am using Google Base Feeder on my FastHosts powered ZenCart. I currently have the newest version of both zencart and google base feeder installed. My database is about 40k products and I currently get the HTTP 500 internal server error when I try to create a froogle file. I called my host and asked about php.ini and they told me I can not change it because of security reasons but I can create a .htaccess file. Are there sample .htaccess files, I really don't know what to include in the file or if this is actually the problem. Also I used to create froogle files with easypopulate but that is giving the same error when I try to create a froogle file with that as well. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank You.

If you are using the current version of Google Base go to your admin/configurations/google_base and cut on the debug and create the feed again and see what that tells you. As you can see by my feed here mine works fine by everything I have told you, I have done myself.

I have the same problem with products being bunched up. I went into admin.config/and put false for debug and still getting bunch up products. I have about 10,000 products. When I do the manual load only has about 129.

Try this .htaccess and see if it will work for you. Just fill in your web site address.

#### BOF SSU
AddHandler x-httpd-php5 .php
Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^your_site.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.your_site.com/$1 [R=301,L]

# Make sure to change "test_site" to the subfolder you install ZC. If you use root folder, change to: RewriteBase /
RewriteBase /

# Deny access from .htaccess
RewriteRule ^\.htaccess$ - [F]

RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{SCRIPT_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php?/$1 [E=VAR1:$1,QSA,L]
#### EOF SSU

Do you have a dedicated IP address on your server?
Do you have the word press module installed, if so then it will case conflict with the Google base module.
Make sure all your files uploaded, and is in to the correct folders. If you changed your admin folder for security reasons as you should make sure you change it in the google_base_feeder folder to match your over ride folder. Is your feed cache set to 777 ?
Go to your admin of your store configuration/Google Base Feeder Configuration and and make sure your Output Directory is set feed/ and change your Output File Name to whatever you want it to be.
Make sure the googlefroogle.php exist in your store's root.

We may need to customize something for you. PM me if you are interested.

I can only presume that this may have something to do with the new google terms and conditions.

Any thoughts anyone.

I am using ZenCart 1.3.8a

My cart url

I am Curious about the terms and conditions possibility too.. How can we find out?

I am having upload problems..

When I create a "create a product feed" and "upload product feed" they both indicate all is well. Product feed was created and the upload a success.

I thought it odd that did not receive an email notification of a successful upload and sure enough...... Something is not working.

When I go to check my "Data Feeds" it is not showing a recent upload.. Have done it twice now over the past few days.

When I check my "active items", it simply reads.... "You do not have any published items for this country". Yet as best I can tell all settings are for the US.

Also.. Thought it very odd that my last successful upload shows May 2nd and I am positive that it showed good up through the 3rd June. Suddenly it expired on the 1st.

Anyone else having issues and of course any help would be great !

Google did update their terms and conditions and I had to agree with them again. After that I had the same....You do not have any published items for this country", but after I set it up it showed all my data feeds like I had it so I don't know whats going on with yours.
