Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

[QUOTE=Sevstar;986687]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.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Please ignore the above post. I found the problem. Too many /admin/ in my admin/includes/configure.php file
It was a long day and I was doing my security settings and goofed it.

may I ask where to find the data feed file from ZC?

If it's a vanilla install, it'll be under the website root/feed/google/filename.xml

the filename will be the one that you have set in the Admin options.

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?

Are any of the descriptions blank?!? If so, it doesn't put it in the xml file. That could be one cause... I wondered the same thing and took the description out of a product and recreated the xml. Sure enough - it was no longer listed. Put it back, and *poof* - back in the feed file.

As far as Google Checkout/Paypal ... that's funny. I've put Paypal in all different spots on the 'accept' line in the Admin, and it's there in the xml file... but it seems that the Google strips it off! I suppose it's so that you use their checkout versus another, and since you ARE on the feed... I suppose they can do that.

The second line in the Admin - Config, below which payment options, is where you can put Google Checkout.

Hope that helps.

I screwed up my feed. I accidentally reinstalled the sql after I had already installed it. It caused the fields to be listed in a different order than before. At first, I thought no big deal, but now I keep getting unrecognized attribute errors from Google. I have tried the uninstall sql and reinstalled again but the fields are still out of order and I still get the errors from Google.

I know the fields are out of order because I have another store to compare it to. Also the other store has the identical configuration, and works fine.

Any ideas on how to clear this up. If I could just do a complete uninstall and reinstall, that would be great.

I have a site with 59k+ products on it yet google base is only sending 6k products to google. Any idea how to correct this as I'm potentially loosing out on ALOT of sales!

I have solved my problem.

I was way off with my question.

For others to completely uninstall see

My problem with the data feed field errors was because I was using the google base feed web site which apparently has been replaced by your google merchant account site. Once I moved over, my feeds were acceptable.

Running:
ZenCart 1.3.9h
Upgraded to Google Base Feeder 1.8.2
Mod Numinix Product Fields 1.1.0
UPC/ISBN Mod Applied
Dimensions Mod Applied

Got a message from Google Base that my UPC was missing. I checked to see that they were there by
going to Admin>Catalog>Categories/Products and view a couple listings and the UPC number is there. I then
checked Google Merchant Center Feeder Configuration and checked to make sure that UPC/ISBN was
set to true and it was. I then ran Google Base Feeder and produced a feed file. That went exactly as normal.
I then checked the feed.xml file it created and sure enough no UPC field is there. Weight is showing, MPN is showing,
condition is showing, but no UPC field

I have seen in the forum that Numinix UPC/ISBN mod is not needed. Would removing that fix the problem?

Any advise on a fix for this much appreciated.

Could not find a place to edit my post above. I was able to get things back to normal by restoring my database from a backup done 48 hours ago. What I would like to do is upgrade the product fields. After looking at the back up I now know I was running version 1.0.0 and not 1.1.0 What is the best way to upgrade them? I think a newer version will play better with Zen 1.3.9h and Google Base Feeder 1.8.2

Using Google Base Feeder 1.8.2
Zen 1.3.9h

When producing a google base feed file. If I set the Include Quantity Zero to true. I get an output file with this error

XML Parsing Error: mismatched tag. Expected: </title>.
Location: file:///C:/Store/mystore_products.xml
Line Number 262, Column 34:<g: product_type><![CDATA[DVD]]> /g: product_type>
---------------------------------^

Google picked up on it too and advised me of the error.
Now if I turn Include Quantity Zero to false the file is fine and google processes it fine.

Why does this happen and how can I fix it?
