Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[taogem]

I am as sure as I can be that everything is set up in my Google settings..

I am not even getting any kind of notification via email about a successful or non successful upload.

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.

Hey countrycharm, my feeder was working perfectly until i added some new products ?

when i have gzip enabled, i get a blank screen then a 404 error when its done.

running the debug without gzip shows no errors, again it just 'stops'

it ran fine processing 18k products, but now we have around 32k and it's not doing the job..?

you gave me the google_base.php file for /includes/classes and it worked great.. it was from 1.7.0a

i think the sanitizer is still a bit sensitive any suggestions?

Finally it is saying that 332 items were "processed" and "inserted" successfully, but what I don't understand is that when I check out the "active items" it only show 146.

Never did get a confirmation via email like I usually do either.

Google changed the terms again, now there are new fields required, the problem is if anyone knows how to modify the module in order to reflect those changes or at least where to look.

It seems that now the 'condition' attribute is required ...

We'd like to let you know about an important change we're making to the Product Search data feed requirements. As you know, you can help shoppers find your products by including high quality, frequently updated product information in the form of attributes. In order to provide shoppers with the most useful information, we'll be making the "condition" attribute required starting on June 30th, 2009.

In order to keep your feeds active past this date, please remember to include the "condition" attribute for all of your items if you're not already doing so. Please include one of three values to describe your product: new, used, or refurbished.

For more information on formatting the condition attribute, please visit http://base.google.com/support/bin/a...&answer=148684

In addition to making the "condition" attribute required, we've made some other changes to our attributes:

Recommended: "product type"
The "product type" attribute allows you to specify a product category for each item. We recommend that you use our product taxonomy, however, you are welcome to use your own categories. For more information, please visit: http://base.google.com/support/bin/a...n&answer=66818

This info was sent to me by Google.

Go to where you upload the data feed in Google Base. Where it says Success click on details and you will see why all your item was not process. You may have problems in the feed and thats why they didn't insert all of them even if they said 332 items were "processed" and "inserted" successfully

It already does this no update needed.

Perhaps this is a silly question but I don't see when I add a product where is ASKS me the condition (new, used, etc). How does the mod do it automatically if I don't put that info in? Is "new" a default?

[Kunal]

The condition attribute settings are in the configuration.. i'm not too sure how you would do it individually..

Well, I don't think its a silly question. I was wondering the same thing . Anyone know the answer?

[jeking]

The answer is in the reply above yours. :-)

The option for 'condition' is in the configuration. You cannot set it 'per product' using this mod. You'd have to edit the xml file manually.
