Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[JJDoench]

Where is the feed path defined? I have seen the line in the Admin-> Configuration ->Google Base Config section. Mine says feed/google/.

The error I keep getting says that the feed directory doesn't exist, but in reality it is trying to find the feed in another directory altogether (another test ZC install)!

Installing on a fresh 1.3.9 upgrade on my test server. Never had google base installed before that I can remember, but I do have Easy Populate installed.

Thanks,
Jessica

public_html/feed/google. have you setup the settings correctly in admin/configuration/google base? you need to enter a name for the program to use for the database file. entering domain should do the trick and will result in a file name of domain_products.xml
also make sure that you have copied the googlefroogle.php to public html. Have you changed the name of your admin folder? if so this may also be the cause of your issue.

solved my problem it wasnt google after all (too a point) 7 hours after starting install im finally done and about to rest, all i had to do was rerun the install.sql as the first time i had run it with a file missing, then turns out it had reset loads of options in configuration, i entered ftp details changed price from usd to gbp and set location of website as well as post from location and that did the trick. 230 out of 234 items is close enough for me for the night at least

just wondering but does anyone have ANY idea why my googlefroogle is only creating data for 16.4k of items when i have 22k on my website?

This is what shows up now when I try to create a google feed:

====================================
Google Base Feeder v started 2011/01/21 15:01:07
Feed file - C:/xampplite/htdocs/ZC139/feed/google/BFQS_products.xml
Processing: Feed - Yes, Upload - No
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Google Base File Complete In 10.047028 Seconds 1543 Records

====================================

See the part where it says ZC139? That is a different Zencart install! My current install is zc139_upgrade. Is there some kind of database setting for this?

For kicks, I went and put a feed/google folder there, and now I don't get the error message. In fact, it is nicely generating an XML file there. But why? Why will it jump into a completely different directory?

I'm confused!

Sorry...totally new to this. I'm stuck on the step that says

"Register your bulk upload .xml file using the same name in your Google Base Configuration at base.google.com"

I have no idea how to do this...and I already set up my FTP in Google Merchant Center...

using Zen Cart 1.3.9h

any help is greatly appreciated!

Running Zen version 1.3.9h
Recent upgrade from 1.3.7
Did a complete fresh install of Google Base Feeder version 1.8.3
Configuration has been done. And when I click on Google Base Feeder in tools I get to the correct screen. My problme is I get the following error when I click on the Confirm button


Server error cannot find
http://domain.comadmin/googlefroogle...fset=&x=56&y=7

I can pretty much figure the problem is there is no slash between domain.com and admin and should be reading it as domain.com/admin/googlefroogle.php?feed=fy_un_tp&limit=&offset=&x=56&y=7

I have looked all over and cannot find where the google base tool is getting this from so I can correct it.

Thanks in advance for any and all assistance.

you have to create a feed file in your google base account for googlefroogle to upload it to google, otherwise it just says....dont exist so i cant be uploaded....

log into your account, click data feeds, click new data feed, make sure you type the name of the data feed EXACTLY as it is produced from ZC...

then you can either manually upload the file(by downloading it from ftp first) or click the upload products data in ZC googlefroogle...
