Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

Once I waited "long enough", the login was granted. I run the script and actually saw the xml on Google's FTP site. After couple of minutes file disappeared from there and in my Google Base account, under feeds I see this message: "You do not have any data feeds."

Where do datafeeds uploaded using this method appear in Google Base account? I need to see the status to make sure it succeeded.

I am having a problem with my Google Base Feeder not showing in the Tools section of Zen Cart Admin. I am running Zen Cart v1.3.8. and Google Base Feeder v 1.7.0a 10.18.2008 . I am able to get into the Google Base Configuration screen to make changes with no problem. I have tried uploading a new copy of Google Base Feeder to my server. I then uninstalled and installed the SQL patch multiple times with no success. Any help anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Maybe this will help you. Go to your PhpMyAdmin/configuration/configuration_title
Delete everything that deals with GOOGLE_FROOGLE
then go to PhpMyAdmin/configuration_group/configuration_group/
configuration_group_title
and delete RSS Feed.
This is not that hard to do but be very careful back up everything.
Make sure all files and folders have uploaded to there right places and install the SQL patch code again. I had this problem when I first installed this and this is what I had to do.

A bug was reported today regarding this issue.

I will also be developing the module to contain the new attributes for tax and shipping that Google has recently emailed all of its customers about.

Thanks so much. This is something that is definitely needed!

can the new version have a txt output option? xml just hasn't worked for us.

Can this be modified to support feeds to google vehicles in addition to google products?

Thanks,
Tina

That is the solution to the configuration not displaying. For his problem he needs to make sure all of the admin files are uploading to the correctly named admin location and are uploading successfully.

Hi

I have installed the mod, but seem to be having a few problems. The main problem is when I am in Tools > GBF when I go to click the "you may view your product feed......" link there is no file domain_products.xml is there a file missing?

Sorry if this has been asked before.

Thanks,

Phil

Hi

It sorted it self out and now it works. Great Module.

Thanks,

I loaded the Google Base Feeder.

Now, I am trying to register with google base and is is asking for Data feed filename: in step 3. I am not sure which filename to give since it says the filename can not be changed later.

The admin/tools/google base feeder shows two different file names.

froogle_products.xml shows create product feed and it says upload complete with 987 records when I click on HERE to create file.

froogle_documents.xml shows create document fee and shows complete with 0 records.

I get this error when I try to upload products feed.

Google Base Feeder v.1.6.16 07.03.2008 23:40:59 started 2008/11/06 11:52:06

You would register two different file names as they are separate feeds.

You either have the wrong login info for the FTP or your server is having difficulty. Double check the FTP account info matches your FTP account for Google Base and if it still fails try changing your setting for PASSIVE MODE in the configuration.

Thanks for replying....numinix.

I registered with Google base.

I also made sure Google Base PASV is set to true. But still not getting login to register. I tried ftp_username and even dropped the ftp_. Still does not work.

Any other suggestions?

I'm not sure if this is it - but I've noticed google has periods where they have trouble accepting uploads.
Try again in an hour and see if it's still an issue.
You can always upload the file directly via Google's FTP instructions. I've done that a couple of times after having trouble submitting.

Those are just text telling you what to put in the field. You should be putting your "username" and "password" that you've registered in your Google Base FTP account. This is NOT your Google Base username and password.

I did that with google base FTP account. Still will not let me login?:frusty:

Are you able to login using a client FTP program? IT usually takes about 15 mins for your FTP account to become active once you've created it.

Ok I waited about 2-3 hours. And it worked in admin/tools/Google Base Feeder with the login. Then I went to Google base:data feeds. It shows that is has not yet processed. So, I think I will check on it tomorrow.

Thank you for your help.

Question on Product Inclusion...

The products will be added to the Google Feeder if and only if there is a base price set. If it is priced by attributes it does not go to the lowest priced attribute to get the price. Is there a way to get this to obtain the lowest priced attribute? I will be happy to pay (depending on price) to have this accomplished.

Thanks,
Matt
