Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

I'm using UPS for shipping and it calculating fine but I'd like to have USP ground as the default method within Google Checkout. Instead it defaults to in-store pickup and then lists the UPS options with Ground being the last option. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Can I use the latest version of this module on Zencart 1.3.7?
And
Will this module work with Google Base?

I'm aware of the invalid characters and have come up with a solution which is currently in testing. If it works, it will be implemented in the Windows Live Product Search Feeder as well.

I keep getting the following error when trying to manually upload.
Error Bad data Line #
I searched through this thread and could not find the answer.
How can I fix this?

Thanks

Hi

How can I find out which version of the google base feeder contribution I have installed.

Is it possible to place this information on the page so I know when it requires upgrading.

Regards
Laurie

I've been trying to manually upload my data feed since yesterday and keep getting a failed result without any details on it. Is anyone else having the same problem? I figured it might be becuase they are upgrading.

Hi

I am using Google Base Feeder v.1.6.16 on zencart 1.3.8a and all my products are showing as disapproved.

When the file is generated it shows the products having 0 quantity and USD as currency.

The products in the shop show in £ as does the cofiguration of google base feeder.

The products are also in the shop showing correct quantity.

Also the domain is not showing, yet set in the configuration.
Heres the top part of my feed file.

Any Ideas why this is ?

I had installed 1.6.15 on ZC 1.3.8 and it was working great... But now I am getting this error when I try and manually generate my feed

"ERROR: yes is not a valid feed template"

The only other issue I could find on this was somebody thought it was do to the "wordpress on Znecart" contribution which I am inclined to believe as I also have it and the time table is right. Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be breaking here or where I should start looking for conflicts in the code.

Thanks,

Hi

I am running Google Base Feeder v.1.6.14a and found this to be the only version that I can get to upload properly to google.

I have tried all other later versions.

With this version though I am having a problem with errors in the xml file, due to these ü Ü characters being present in a couple of product descriptions. I have checked the code, on line 495, which is present and appears to be the code that would deal with these characters.

For some reason these characters are still present though and the froogle output file still contains these characters, causing processing errors in google base.

Any ideas how to resolve this would be appreciated.

see if post 956 on page 96 helps

I have recently upgraded to 1.6.17 and have the following problem, linked products are being included with the master categories.

I have read earlier posts about fully uninstalling any previous versions including any data from the froogle feeder days and used the current sql statements.

I also viewed previous posts that say in earlier versions this was fixed. Can someone please verify and help on this issue as well?

Hi All

All my frrogle products are now uploading properly after a bit of juggling.

Thanks to all who helped.

I tried to run my froogle file from a cron job, but my isp says that the way their cron is setup it will not take parameters when a file is called.

I run an import php routine from my suppliers every 4 hours.

I would like to call the froogle uploader file at the end of the import php file, so that every time there is an update of products it uploads to froogle too.

Could you tell me the command that I would need to place in the import php file to do this.

Thanks again for your assistance.

Hi All,

Can anyone please tell me how you get the feed to list your sale/specials price?
I'm sorry if the answer was posted and I missed it.

Thanks,
Kelly

I'm sorry...I just realized I'm using an older version of the contribution. I updated it and it works great!
Once again, sorry :blush:

Thanks,
Kelly

does the google base feeder mod work with the ultimate seo mod.

What urls are uploaded in the feed? are they seo friendly urls or zencarts original urls.

many thanks

numinix,

I'm sorry but I had googlefroogle working perfect until I installed the SEO URLs package. I'm not quite sure what's going on but I keep getting this error ("ERROR: yes is not a valid feed template") when trying to create my feed. I'm using the 1.6.17 version of your mod and the latest SEO URLs mod. But i can't seem to get rid of this.

any help would be appreciated Thanks,

Sorry about any confusion I might have caused. I found out that the problem I was having was because of the conflicting Wordpress on Zencart modification and the Google Base Feeder and had nothing to do with the SEO mod.

Again sorry for any confusion

cheers,
