Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

TJR Stores:

ok thanks.

But I am looking for the google config thing. in zen admin.

Its not there.!!!

I am leaving this mod for now.

I will wait till someone can give me the help i need. it can't simply be done over a forum board.

Thanks for all your help guys and gals, but i think i will have to wait till after the weekend to get this done.

You're making this more complicated than it is. If you uploaded the files using the same structure and install the sql file, you should have no problem. You will not have the configuration options on the Admin side unless you install the sql statements.

I've offered to help him privately.

BlessIsaacola, have you upgraded to the latest version? Instead of removing the product_id, I added more options! UPC, ISBN, and model :)

Hello,

Something really weird happened. I had everything working and when I cam back the next day the nothing would work the click [Here] link it a javascript: (viod 0) link.

So I then decided to just install 1.5.2 since it was released so i did the install as normal and then upgraded the sql and still a javascript void link. So I then uninstalled the sql and then reinstalled and still the void link.

Why would it do that and what can I do to fix it.

thanks

Could be your local java settings or an IE-7 add-in. Have you tried using the script with FireFox?

I was using Firefox but on my laptop.. but your probably right... i will work on my desktop tonight... thats so strange though because i use my laptop as a local server for testing...

anyhow if the reply comes out strasnge its because i am replying of off my phone so please forgive me..

avel..

Hi all.

I managed to get this mod working after a detoxing weekend :laugh:

I recharged the batteries and got it working.

Now I have one small question.

Does or has anyone that has this mod installed, have any special prices on thier website?

If so does the feed still get processed in the same way and will google accept the feed?

I am asking as a friend has this mod, not sure if they have updated, and it keeps booting out the products he has with a special price, sale price etc.

thanks in advance
Rob

I upgraded and this is by far a superior mod and I only had one product rejected by Google due to this error message "We didn't understand some of the XML formatting in your file. You may be missing a tag or have a nesting or formatting error."

I decided to use the product ID as the unique identifier because you brought up a good point with regards to the fact that there will never be a duplicate id but there is potential to have duplicate model,upc or isbn.

Thank you so much!

99.9% of our products are on special and this mod is smart enough to use the special price and Google flawlessly accepted all products and display the special price. It's all working according to specification and we couldn't be happier.

Thanks very much.

My friend must be using an older version of this mod then.

i will continue to go ahead and install on my other site.

BlessIsaacola could you provide a link to your google base products, I would like to see them displayed in Google with your special prices.

Thanks alot in advance.

I'm installing the latest version for the first time and so far so good, but I noticed that the previous version in the downloads section has an admin/includes/modules folder that doesn't appear in the latest version when I download it.

Just want to make sure this is no longer needed.

Thanks!

Ms Paperlicious

Has any found a way to add the color attribute to the froogle feed?

Refer to the version history notes in the readme.txt and you will see that the UPC/ISBN is no longer included with the mod.

Not all of the attributes are included in the mod. You can look into adding this in the same way the product_weight was just added. This information can be found in this thread. Future versions may include these attributes but for efficiency and simplicity of the configuration file, they are not yet included.

I would just add this attribute to your product titles although Google Base even searches the descriptions of the products by default.

Hi folks getting a problem when trying to read the XML file created when i use the froogle feeder.

The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

Hello Numinix,

This is totally unrelated but the google graphic is really skewed in my admin because the image size outputed is 110 x 48 px and the image size is larger than that. So I found a new image and made it to the size required. i hope this was fine anyhow I am submitting it to you if you would like to use it.

I posted a revised version of microsoft live in the lps thread as well

I will replace that with your resized image in the next release. But, other than that there is no reason for an update so I suggest that anyone who wants can simply download the image through this forum ;)

In reply to my earlier post #317

I Just had to re-upload the googlefroogle.php page and it works fine now.
