Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

If you are using a custom folder in other words using the override system make sure all the files are going into the correct folders that you named them to. Make sure the googlefroogle.php file uploaded to the root of your server.

well crud...I've done all that. One version (the newest one) I get a blank page and if I use the older version (from this site), I get the text junk

Hopefully someone else has had (and resolved) this issue. Thank you for your advise

Does anyone instal this as a paid service ?

[thebeveragegourmet]

I know if you get it from the numinix site directly, they have a $25 install fee listed with the mod

As many sites I have installed this on I have never had this to happen. Check your permissions on your server control panel. If you have word press addon installed it will cause a conflict with this module. Check some of your .htaccess files.

Inside some folders is an .htaccess file that lists certain *permitted* filetypes which may be accessed. (Anything else is blocked to prevent abuse on your site).

Thanks. I don't have wordpress. I'll have to check the .htaccess files.

On the Numinix forum, someone said the text error was the cause of the admin files. Could renaming my admin to another name (as recommended) cause a problem? I uploaded the files to the "admin" folder of my site...it's just that the name is not "admin".

It should not cause you any problem as long as you changed the name of the admin folder to the name you are using. In other words if your admin folder is named jhon_doe make sure the admin folder in the google base feeder is change to mach that before you upload, if not then things will not work.

I read what what you asked Numinix on Numinix forums and I agree with him. Check to make sure the files in the google base feeder admin uploaded correctly. What I mean about that is make sure the filesize is the same, if not that is the reason why it is showing that down below. Some ftp programs mess up when uploading files.

Hi, I'm using this module and it's mostly working. An issue I'm having is that the 'product_type' tag (which is the category name) isn't showing my category properly. I have products which are linked in two categories and for some reason, it is showing the linked category and not the 'master category'. I have reset the master category products to be the correct one (as they were showing incorrectly before) but even after resetting this, the 'product_type' is not updating to be the correct category. Does anyone have any thoughts about this? I don't want to have to delete all the linking products categories. Thanks in advance- I love zen cart and this community!!

I have been using this module for approx 6 weeks now with no issues until lately. Google stopped listing my products eventhough there was no error in my google base account. On querying google I got the following response..

"Please note, CDATA is a special notation for data that allows you to use & (and ONLY &). Therefore, should not be used for
any other characters."

So how can I disable CDATA if that is what is required? I noticed in the google_base.php file that CDATA is set to false

function google_base_xml_sanitizer($str, $cdata = false) {

however it appears in the xml feed??

Swap out your google_base.php code with this one and see if it will make a difference. Download it from here.

In \includes\classes\google_base.php make a backup and upload the new google_base.php Maybe this will solve your problem.
