[OLD] Google Merchant module Version 1.12.0 by Numinix

Interceptor:

Any idea why the additional images have been removed from the new version??

Don't know, but they weren't working in Google Shopping anyway.

RescoCCC:

Are you using Numinix Product Fields or the UPC/ISBN mod from software addons? If the latter, that is likely the problem. You need to use the former.

Now I just set it to "false", and google is not giving me errors any more, I also added "MPN" for each product, so don't know which one solved google error issue. But I got another issue "broken images" on merchant center, but when I click through the links, all the images are there on my website! it seems that lately google frequently gave me problems even though I didn't change anything on my website. :no:

But I got another issue "broken images" on merchant center, but when I click through the links, all the images are there on my website!

Are you talking about the additional images when you view the product in merchant center? If so, don't worry about it. None of mine have ever worked. As long as your primary image is there, it's fine.

cant seem to get google recognising my model numbers as upc's is there anyway to solve this? ive altered the settings in the google merchant centre feeder config to show offer as upc and also tried it as ean but still no joy at all.
I was debating attempting to reinstall numinix product fields module for it anymore in the free software add ons search here on the site??

well, I finally hit my first problem with the apparel category - in jewelry for heavens sake. Google thinks that jewelry sellers have gender and age at a minimum as something that's important. So the only to do this right now is to add those attributes to each product but of course they should not be displayed on the product page (Unisex does not sound attractive).

Has anyone figured out how to do this yet? I suspect that I can set display only attributes not to display with some coding but this is no solution for someone who is already using the display (read) only setting for attributes.

Hi
Google requires ie

'<g:shipping_weight>3 kilograms</g:shipping_weight>'

if you use Global shipping rules outlined in there settings.

How can I get the shipping weight into the feed in the format:

'<g:shipping_weight>1.0 pounds</g:shipping_weight>'

right now only getting
'<g:weight>3 kilograms</g:weight>'

I have the same problem as you.

Looks like a boo boo in the code if so. Are you getting error messages because of it at google?

A UPC code must be at least 12 digits in length. Do your model numbers meet that requirement?

I haven't seen the issue with jewelry. But if that is the case, it may be easier to add this:

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=83814

It's only one file. On that one file, you can remove the below code and the attributes will not display on the products page. We've tested it out and the attributes do get included on the feed. Just don't show on the page.

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr valign="top">
    <td width="50%"><?php echo $left_col; ?></td>
    <td width="50%"><?php echo $right_col; ?></td>
  </tr>
</table>

Our first goal was to get the attributes listed in columns. But since we didn't have "variations", we didn't need the attributes to show on the page. So I removed the tables and it works fine.

Thanks for the suggestion cuysan but I need to only have certain attributes not show. Looking at the modules/attributes.php file, there are 4 mentions of the readonly attribute. I don't have any way to test it right now but removing or commenting out those mentions should work.

Numinix has uploded on his site a new version 1.12.2

I can NOT replicate as far as i can see most of the error pointed out
As Duplicate categories etc

As per shipping
You need to:
1)You NEED set up your shipping options on YOUR Google Merchant (google site)
go to google.com--My account look for Merchant Center link

Settings--->>Tax and Shipping

Under Shipping Create New Method

My case I use Carrier-Calculated Based on the USA
I created for the 3 companies UPS FEDEX and USPS
one of each shipping method

For Last on Zencart

Enable Show weight On Configuration Google Merchant Center

So far so good

Keep in Mind that I DO NOT have any attributes on the lisitin in which I have not tested

Zen 1.3.9h

Hi Marvin,

Did you ever solve this error when generating the feed?:-

Fatal error: Call to undefined function zen_generate_category_path() in /home/mywebspace/public_html/store/includes/classes/google_base.php on line 235

I am also on 1.3.7 and am getting the same error. I removed the old data and php stuff and reinstalled from Numinix's v1.12.2 and am still getting the error.

Im having some problems i just installed everything into the server and its only pulling 100 products off the 6000 we have im not sure what i did wrong Please help

Author: Numinix

Version: 1.12.2

Update added on

Also the page that opens up that usally show the feed process is just blank.

When i try to select a county it doesn't work i get this error

Fatal error: Call to undefined function google_cfg_pull_down_country_list() in /home2/pwcforum/public_html/mywebsite/configuration.php(192) : eval()'d code on line 1

Problems with the new module, I used to have listings of over 24,000 products. Now it only lists 304!

I checked the XML, and it is truncated at the end, but the file is over 30Mb, so I think the problem has to do with fields, I also installed Numinix Product Fields, my problem is even with the feed uploading fine to Google's servers, it only gets 304 products, the only fields that are not present yet are Google's categories, products are all displayed as new, any modifications that can be made in configuration might alter this?

What settings are better to prevent timeouts?

BTW: I am using 1.3.8a with GM 1.12.1(latest one)

Installed the latest from Numinex 1.12.1.

In the install SQL file the line to install this option has been removed thus in the configuration section we cannot chose not to show zero quantity items in the feed.
this is noted as configuration_group_id, 44

I tried to add it and run the install again but it still will not work.
The option was added to the configuration section in the admin but does not do anything thus thinking there is something wrong/changed in the php pages of the add-on.

In my feed they show as available for order.
Why is this so when they should show as out of stock anyway??

P.S. just checked the latest version 1.12.2 and the SQL file is the same.
This option needs to be put back in!:(

Boggled:

Quick question (may have already been answered but I couldn't find it)

Currently our attributes are set up like this:

Helmet Size
Jacket/Vest Size
Boot Size

etc.

For this to work, am I going to have to rename all of these to just "Size"?

I am not sure that will work but what you can do to test it..

Check to see what is the first item in your .xml sheet. You can do this after you confirm in admin and then click on the .xml file. It will come up in a different window. See what the first item is and work with that item for testing out your attributes. That is what I did and I finally got it working.

Hope that helps.

countrycharm:

I have the same problem as you.

did you ever get this resolved?

i finally did but only after adding all the required attributes.

let me know and i will try my best to help you out.
