Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

Both your questions have nothing to do with the configuration settings though.
No, I know doesn't have to do with configuration but is just good info that since is available or people that is going to work on the documentation could share (it won't harm), and that way users don't have to spend hours searching on the forum or just asking about it creating a longer thread with useless posts.

new2u:

Set include zero quantity to false, show quantity to true, and default quantity to 0.

I did what you said, but my data feed still shows error, and products are not searchable...:cry:

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.

already started! :clap:

Yes!

Just for you! :flex:

It was getting too long and repetitive questions. Hopefully the new thread will leave the old version in the dust.

See ya there :book:

This thread is now closed due to old information. On Sept, 22, Google started gradually enforcing the new Google products feed spec requirements. If you want your question to be answered you will have to go to the New Google Merchant Thread Here.

Hi

i use zen cart v1.3.9h

I am using Google Base Feeder, an old version.

I would like to upgrade as encountered problems with 'Required Attribute Availability'.

However, I do not know which version to upgrade to, as I do not know which version I have. Obviously, i would like to upgrade to latest, but see there have been quite a few upgrades over past year or so, and quite a few sql updates.

If poss, and i know this sounds dumb, but, is there anyway i can find the module version if I don't have original download zip file and folder?

Matt

If you uploaded the full mod files, you should have a folder on your site entitled module_version with a text file in it. That is not a real proof of version though and you probably just need to uninstall and then install the newest version anyway.

hi, thanks for that.

will the uninstall file in the latest version uninstall my old version?

matt

Probably.

i have uninstalled, but still have google base feeder configuration under configuration, however, other refs to have been removed, e.g. under Tools

i uninstalled an old version

i then installed latest version 1.10.2

although i haven't tested yet, there are now too feed admin links under configuration:

Google Merchant Center Feeder Configuration

and

Google Base Feeder Configuration

if anyone can advise how i might lose Google Base Feeder Configuration, that would be great, am hoping that in doesnt cause any complications

You can remove it by running the database uninstall for the version it represents. But, I still have it on one of my sites and the new version works fine. Just don't use the old for configuration.

RescoCCC you say... "You can remove it by running the database uninstall for the version it represents"
I only see one sql file called unistall. Should I be unistalling a certain sql file for the version I am running?
If so, how do I find out which version I have now?

"Mattys" mentions the latest version is 1.10.2... Isn't the latest version 1.12.4 ??

Thanks for your help, this has been a nightmare.

The version info for your old one is likely in google_base_feeder/numinix_version/google_base_feeder.txt. Once you have that version number, you can use the uninstall that came with it.

The latest version available here in software downloads is 1.10.2. Always seems to be a few versions behind Numinix's web site.

Which version is best for google's changes? The latest from Numinix?

I checked out which module I had installed by checking the folder called "module version" located at the root which was version 1.12.2 so I used uninstall sql file from my archives and ran the sql script from the newest Numinix Google base feeder version 1.12.4. Then i upload all files and overwrote the older files. Then I went into Google Merchant Center Feeder Configuration page and made some minor setup entries; my ftp username and password, store address, store description, tax rate, and a google category of Home & Garden > Decor > Candles.

I proceed to Google Merchant Center Feeder to create the XML file of 14 items for testing. I then get the following message which has been ok and normal for me in the past:

"Google Merchant Center Feeder v1.12.4 started 2011/11/08 21:08:35
Feed file - /XXXX/XXXXX/public_html/feed/google/XXXXX_products_en_15.xml
Processing: Feed - Yes, Upload - No
Google Merchant Center File Complete In 0.230968 Seconds 15 of 15 Records"

The file appears to be created and shown in blue text, I then proceed to click on it for review and suddenly I get a "Feed Code Error" shown at the head of my browser NOT showing my products whatsoever, just a message saying “Internet Explorer cannot display this feed.”

I sell candles and even entered a Products Model number and a manufacturer name on every single product we carry just to satisfy Google’s requirements and still can't this working for me. In short... what the FEED am I doing wrong guys?

Your help is appreciated immensely. Thank you.

What happens if you download the file to your local system and open it with a text editor?
