Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

This can be done by changing line 330 in file STORE_ROOT\googlefroogle.php from:

$content["description"] = '<description>' . $google_base->google_base_xml_sanitizer($products_description, true) . '</description>'; 

to

$content["description"] = 'FREE DELIVERY! ' . '<description>' . $google_base->google_base_xml_sanitizer($products_description, true) . '</description>';

Sorry, just tested the above and it doesn't work.

Edit STORE_ROOT\googlefroogle.php, and change the line 161 from:

$products_description = $products->fields['products_description']; 

to:

$products_description = 'FREE DELIVERY. ' . $products->fields['products_description'];

If anyone has successfully got this working and Google is displaying your sitelinks, AND you have time to setup for my site, please shoot me a PM and a quote to do it. I just don' have any time to spend working on it and would rather hire someone to do it.

P.S. And, will it work with version 1.3.9c, without a re-install??

Hi, I recently upgraded to the latest Google Base Feeder. When I uploaded the generated feed to Google, there was this XML formatting error. Please help. Thanks.

That sounds like the error I got when I was using the old version. Numinix just recently(within 2 weeks) released a new version on their website that corrects that problem. The only thing I had to do was edit the googlefroogle.php file line 111 to say "encoding=UTF-16" and everything worked fine.

Yes, the problem is fixed after upgrading to the latest version. Thanks.

Hi There,

I have installed this mod and everything is working fine and i have uploaded 600 products onto google base and has approved it.

But i cannot seem to find my products on google shopping site as on the dash board it does state that my products are searchable... any advice please?

Ok, I've installed the latest mod (in fact, i completely uninstalled the old one and installed the newest just to be sure).

It's still only pulling 3 products from the store (out of 1073). Are there specific store settings, or product descriptions, or something else that would cause this?

It actually took mine a few days to 'appear' in searches and then they were way down the list as they were new(something about 'relative importance' and aparrently new items aren't relatively important I guess) But keep checking and try doing some specific searches for your specific items(gold bracelet 24k 11 inches) or something like that and see what happens. But hang in there, they'll appear.

well.... it's all pretty grey to me, but, I do know that product descriptions have to be a certain length and prices have to be valid(and a positive number), for example "call for price" shows up as a price of zero(0.00) and is ignored by the googlefroogle application. I have several large items that fall victim to that on my site. Also, check your setup and make sure you're not offsetting the start of your item list(skipping the first 'X' items)... That's all I can really think of. Wish I could offer more advice.
