Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[pe1234ter]

Ore you could just add "set_timeout_limit(0)" at the top of the script googlefroogle.php

It worked for us. We have over 14,000 products active on our site. It takes the script along time to run (5 mins or so) but it is working great! Thanks for a great contribution!

the correct script is set_time_limit(0) ? I got error message if added set_timeout_limit(0)

But I still got the timeout error after added "set_time_limit(0)" at top of the script in googlefroogle.php

Anyone know how to fix it?

I'm already using the add on 'sitemapXML' but having trouble with google listing my products. Can I use this mod 'google base feeder' in conjunction with it and can anyone tell me how it differs?

_thanks

The XML files generated are not the same for each of these mods because they serve different purposes, and the requirements for each are different (Sitemap vs Product Listings) This mod serves a completely different purpose than the XML sitemap mod.. Though both mods generate an XML file, the file format is where the similarity stops.. Google's requirements for the contents of the Google Merchant XML feeds are quite different than the sitemap files generated by the XML Sitemap mod. In short you will need BOTH mods if you want to submit sitemaps and product feeds to Google.


The BEST place to understand the differences is to read through the very informative FAQs on Google's site. After all this mod was build based on Google Merchant's requirements for these feeds..

Still recommend that you read through the Google FAQ for Google Merchant before you submit your product feeds..

When I generate googlebase-export.txt I get the following error at the bottom of the document:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/bodykits_net2/public_html/includes/m1_common_functions.php on line 2003

How can I make that more than 30 seconds?
or
How do I resolve this?

Seems like I don't have the google base feeder option available in tools on the admin. I have the rss feed in configuration - can anyone suggest why I don't have it in order to create my feed - I followed the instruction but must have got something wrong.

_thanks all
