Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[jabbawest]

I figured it out. I have Tabbed Products Pro I use its create a tab code within the main description to create a Specifications tab.
I just need to make sure my main description is long enough to keep Item# from being included.

Ive just installed the google base (froogle) feeder module but all my products are priced by attributes so google are not allowing the feed as all the price fields are 0.00 as they are all priced by attributes.

Can anyone advise me how i get the module to work with price by attributes?

Thanks in advance!

Ive got an update, this is the error which im getting from google, any ideas?:

Invalid attribute: price
The value you provided for the attribute is invalid.

This error is for all my products, it hasn't added any.

I have spent hours searching for installation intructions for this numinix google base feeder. I cannot get past step one of the official installation intructions. Here is step
1. # Unzip and upload all files to your store directory (except .sql files);
WHICH DIRECTORY????????
Individually or the whole thing?
Just the files? Or do they mean upload the folders and the files go along for the ride?
Overwrite existing files or how else can this be done?
I have been thinking about this for a long time i would like you all to know but i am not a techy.
Option 1. Do i upload the entire (google_base_feeder) folder in the zip file to the zen cart catalog folder on my server?
Option 2. OR do i take the contents of that folder and upload them to the folders that have the same names as the folders on my server? For example take the google base feeder folder called admin and upload it into the folder in my zen cart install called admin?
Option 3. OR take the files out of the google base feeder admin folder and upload them in my zencart admin folder?
I am very afraid of option 3 as it would overwrite the files because many of the files and folders on my zencart instal have the same names as the google base feeder files.

I have just been looking to install this myself, and to answer the previous poster, simply extract the folders overwriting your folders, all that will happen is the files in this installation will be created in their own folders.

However there is a problem the documentation states
Go to Admin->Tools->Install SQL Patches and install googlefroogle.sql by copying and pasting (do not upload);

however there is NO googlefroogle.sql in the archive!!!!!

Just a series of sql updates of which there is no mention in the documentation either

Nor does it tell you in the documentation where to place the googlefroogle.php file!

in the version prier to 1.8 it was googlefroogle.sql, in his latest version its install.sql

If your referring to the googlefroogle.php outside the folders, admin, includes, then it should go to the root of your site.

Why not update the documentation.html file to say "install.sql" instead of googlefroogle.sql. I always try to RTFM and follow it precisely

I've got a problem with shipping.

If I set it to use table rate it works fine, but unfortunately this is set up with the postage costs for European shipping while I want it to list GB shipping.

I have zones set up with the shipping for GB but if I select zones in the google base feeder it sets all delivery costs to 0?
