Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

Yep, exactly. Do as numinix said and no more editing.

Numinix, I was wondering if it is possible to tweak the mod to export a feed with lowest price instead of the base price. I have a shop with lots of qty discounts set and I display "As low as" pricing. My competitors upload feeds with lowest price to google base and I look pretty bad with my highest price listed. Any easy solution to this?

Find $price in the main root file and you can change how it is given its value.

OK, so I will try and replace it with:
zen_get_products_discount_price_qty

I will test and then post.

I tried to replace

							$price = zen_get_products_actual_price($products->fields['products_id']);

with:

$price = zen_get_products_discount_price_qty($products->fields['products_id']);

I guess this would have been too easy. I do not know enough about PHP to be able to come up with the right solution. Could somebody give me a hand?

Good Morning everyone.

I ran this excellent mod (1.6.11) with zen cart (1.3.7) yesterday and ran into a problem. Although it creates, displays and apparently uploads the feed it does not appear in Google Base (either in the public area or in my account). I assume I have got a configuration setting wrong and would really appreciate some advice.

After uploading, the mod reports the following:-

Google Base Feeder v.1.6.11 03.27.2008 00:05:59 started 2008/05/21 11:41:46

You might just give it 12- 24h and see what shows up in your google account. Did you check there yet? Google Base is kind of slow...

Right, thanks for that. I actually up up loaded last night but I'll give it until tomorrow

I believe he was just telling you to put http://www.ecmauto.com for the setting STORE ADDRESS located in ADMIN->CONFIGURATION->GOOGLE BASE FEEDER CONFIGURATION.

Numinix,
I greatly appreciate all your input,But that is what I did,I put"https://ecmauto.com/" in front of all link's. And was able to successfully upload the file manually.
Question is why doesn't the mod do that ? and
Why do I get the 1064 syntax error ?
I have since uninstalled the mod to keep my site working.
I would love to get your mod working as it would save me having to learn how to create a file.

Thank again,jim

It does put your website into all of the links, otherwise how would Google know where to link to?

If you need to have this module installed for you, please PM me or visit the Numinix services page found in my forum signature.

Hi Numinix,
Thanks for the offer but I think I'm ok on the the installation.
The problem is that the mod. did not put my web add. into any of the links. That is why the 1st upload failed. It wasn't until I edited the .xml file GBF generated and added my web add. into all the links that I was able to get a successful upload.
I tried the install twice, double checked the local of all files and I used cut and paste with notepad++ to install the .sql patch. I did not use upload.

Thanks,Jim

Hi.

I've done as mydanilo suggested and give Google plenty of time to accept my feed, but still no success. As I said before, I'm assuming I have got a setting wrong somewhere and would appreciate some advice.

Kind regards

I keep getting this error when I upload to google

Errors:
Error Bad data Line # 22150
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.

line 22150 looks like this - <g:mpn>ChameleonEvoGore-Tex®XCR®</g:mpn>

I've been searching the forum, and I think it has to do with the sanitizer function not working right, but I have no clue how to fix it:frusty:
what am I missing?

Hi,

I've tried installing google base feeder. I've uploaded the files, pasted and ran the sql patch and put all of the things needed in admin>configuration

My screen looks like this in admin. Other than that I don't get errors or anything... just no feed.

Can someone help me? I'm using zc 1.3.7 and have installed base feeder 1.6.7. (it said it was compatible with zc 1.3.7)

Thanks in advance,

Juliet van Ree

Mine is doing that too, It says the exact same thing, but It says I have nothing in my data feed. What Didi I do, and What do I do now?

you did not answer any of the questions?
is the data feed empty, or is the upload failing
