Just uploaded to GoogleBase from my 1.26 shop using the latest v 1.2.6 19.08.2006 7:30 googlefroogle feed contribution. My language is english and default currency is GBP (although I accept USD & EUR also).
The feed has been rejected with the following comments:-
- Bad image_links: The image_links in your bulk upload are not working correctly. For example, the image_link for the item titled "Gift Certificate £5.00" does not work:
http://creationartisan.com/images/gv£5.gif
The correct image_link for this item is:
http://creationartisan.com/images/medium/gv%A35_MED.jpg
Please check that all the image_links in your bulk upload are working, or we will be unable to display your items' images.
The links do actually work, but GoogleBase clearly doesn't like the "£" symbol, can the feed be automatically updated to replace "£" with "%A3"?
Second -
- Thumbnail images: Please include the largest images available for your items. If your images are less than 400 by 400 pixels, they will be enlarged, which will reduce the quality of your images. As a result, please make sure that your image URLs direct to full-sized images, rather than thumbnails. For example, the image URL for the item titled "Dry or Sensitive Skin Cream with Bergamot & Sandalwood" should be:
http://creationartisan.com/images/large/aroma15ml_LRG.jpg
Instead of:
I understand the logic of this one and I want my products to look their best, is it possible to have an option to force selection of a particular image size (I'm also using Tim Kroeger's Image-Handler v1.0-beta2 for Zen-Cart v1.2.6d contrib)
At the moment I'm manually updating the URLs.
Many thanks, Keith Adley
