Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

Hi, thanks for the help. I looked at my /includes/.htaccess and it doesnt have that line at all. the only lines in it are

<Files *.php>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
</Files>

I put the code you mentioned directly below this but it didnt solve my problem, in fact it blocked a lot of images on the main site.

Will the latest version work with 1.3.8a? I dont think I would be able to upgrade to 1.3.9h.

Thanks

This is how my configurations are set. I always leave my Debug on. For some reason it will create the feed better when left on. Try changing the Show Offer ID to Model to see what happens.

just wondering, but why does yours look completely different to mine :S
is it some mod you have installed??

also, updated to latest version, ran the 1.8.3 update.sql
changed all that you said...
still failing :(

If you mean my configuration yes it's a module I installed called quick configuration edit. You can download it from here.
I will see if I can create the problem you are having. I will let you know soon.

Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

I can't recreate this problem. Per Numinix a lot people who has a lot of products have timing out problems. They have to move to a dedicated server or even a VPS to solve the problem. Sorry I wasn't able to help you.

The restrictions imposed on providers to achieve PCI compliance make it just about impossible to offer a PCI compliant shared hosting environment. Dedicated servers would be the only way to ensure 100% PCI Compliance and even then would only apply if the whole hosting company itself was PCI Compliant.

You never did Post the information from the log file that would have been generated as a result of the error in you cache folder.

dont know why, but my feed file generator keeps timing out, any idea's how i can stop this???

You probably have too many products. Exclude some categories and try again, that usually fixes the timeout issue

I have around 38,000 products. One cat has around 60 subcats, with around 16,000 prods. I excluded that category and I don't have timeout issues anymore.

$fp = fopen($outfile, $mode);

return $retval;

would GOOGLE_FROOGLE_OUTPUT_BUFFER_MAXSIZE have anything to do with it being restricted/timeout etc??

Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

I have this installed, but noticed it gives a wrong url for the products. I have the cpath turned on, but instead of the url including cpath=1_7 is puts cpath=1,7. I could just turn off cpath, but would like to include it. I'm concerned this error may be messing up my Google rankings.

I appreciate any help!

Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

Hi, I tried searching for an answer to this but found nothing.

I'm just preparing to upgrade from Zen Cart v1.3.7 to the latest v1.3.9h, and I currently have Google Froogle v1.6.7 installed.

Do I need to uninstall my current version of Google Froogle before I upgrade Zen Cart and if so, how?

Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

conspicuouschick:

Google just announced changes to its feed requirements:

http://googlemerchantblog.##########################/2011/03/changes-for-google-product-search.html

What will this mean for us zencart users?

~~ Bump ~~

Ditto - Definitely would like to get an answer - It appears that there are a few requirements that are not currently provided but looking at my raw feed, my account settings are set up for tax and shipping options (which google recommends and says will cover that detail - I think!) - so only thing , it appears, are the unique identifiers (UPC Code) - which is important, and the ability to add sale item information (unless that is the intent of the g:id field? )

However, in any case, It would be really nice to hear from developer/maintainer as to whether these changes will require any upgrades - last thing that many of us zenners need is our google product feeds disappearing from google!
