Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

shags38:

After having installed the latest Google Base Feeder I am getting the "No Picture Available" error when adding new products to the shop (not to Google Feed). I can't figure the relationship but thought I'd ask if anyone else has experienced this??

I have some 350+ products already loaded and never had any issues with images and no changes have been made in admin to configurations (other than Google Merchant).

Any clues??

cheers,
Mike

By chance are you using image handler...if so...turn it ON on the config of your Google Merchant.

I also am getting the Whoops message after installing the Numinix Google Merchant Feed. It is very frustrating. If you find the issue, please let me know.:frusty:

Maybe totally not related, but i'll ask anyway,, has anyone had a customer reporting an error at checkout i replicated it and it says this..

Whoops! Sorry, but you are not allowed to perform the action requested.
You are still logged in to your account and may continue shopping. Please choose a destination from a menu..

i installed the brand new google merchant feed from numinix,,

would someone like to relicate it aswell just to see if its connected

Hi,

Since changing the charset in Zen Cart 1.3.9 to UTF-8 following the installation instructions the Order Totals no longer show in Admin or in the My Account/Order History function on the website.

I am using zencart 1.3.9h and google_base_froogle_feeder_1-10-2. Yes, I know I there's an upgrade available - I tried this but it didn't fix the problem.

Order Totals show for orders that were placed after the change to utf-8 but not any prior to the change.

I have discovered that it's to do with the Text field not being completed in the database, please see this image.

I can amend this manually in the database through phpmyadmin but as you can see this affects 3770 orders (eek!) - and will take too long.

When I look at old backups of the database the Text field is also not filled in so I can't even export & import the old data to fix this.

Is there a way to populate these fields by executing a command somewhere/somehow please?

Any suggestions welcome/appreciated.

many thanks
Claire :blink:

P.S. I have also tried uninstalling google_base_froogle_feeder_1-10-2 and changing the database back to latin1_general_ci but it still doesn't fix my problem.

...forgot to say I found a great tool to change the database collation here:

http://www.phoca.cz/download/category/17-phoca-changing-collation-tool

(no, this isn't my problem either - I have used this tool to convert other zencart databases with complete sucess).

:smile:

I have installed 1.12.0 and debug shows
'skipped due to user restrictions' for most products. does anyone know how to get past this?

ATSWorld:

I'm all working yehaaaaaa ..1 product was causing all the grief ..I disabled all my products and opened them 1 by 1 till I found which categories were causing the problem ,just finished finding out which product was faulty ...now just need to play around and get it to upload :clap:
Isn't that a great feeling? That's the best way to troubleshoot. Going 1 by 1 until you find where is the error.

I agree with you 100%. Not none of my business but since this thread is so long with old information, and On Sept. 22, Google started gradually enforcing the new Google products feed spec requirements why not start a new thread with Numinix's latest version and go from there.

Actually what is needed to start with is a decent set of instructions for the configuration settings to start and Jeff has not done that. Just saw the availability question again. Those are questions that should be written up in the documentation.

I could do that and upload the results to the zen cart forum as a contribution but that be a fair amount of work on my part. What I could do is take emails from anyone who has the specific thread number in answer to a question about those configuration settings. I could then post what I have regularly so that it appears in the forum until I get the documentation done.

In the meantime, I'll ask the Zen Cart Powers to be about starting a new thread.

Also some additional info like the question I did few threads back and hasn't been answered (are the new feeds override previous items).

Another thing I'm looking after is how to make the "read only" attributes not visible on frontend, since this is mentioned on the readme file but no instructions or farther info on how to accomplish it.

I can help on gathering some of the info needed since I've been testing a lot lately this module and search a lot here for info.

Never have had to change that setting to get the zen cart model numbers to show up in the feed. The model numbers automatically get included if they aren't blank.

I thought I had answered your question - same feed, different products, start over again - otherwise you would never be able to delete products. You should be outputting all products in one feed or setting up different feeds with different feed names.

Documentation: "you can set them to display only and then modify your template to not show display only attributes)" Good luck with that. I've not looked into that before.

Both your questions have nothing to do with the configuration settings though.

no my problem was it wasnt recognising that my model numbers where upc's so it was about to suspend my account however just checked now and im 362 unique product indentifiers warnings lighter on my google account ;)

Ah, good. It's getting incredibly hard to follow this thread! So you are using Numinix's mod to do that.
