Try the latest version, it should take care of most invalid characters (check the link in my signature).

"""1""" """Thousand Dreams 1017 100ml Mens Perfume""" """With smooth scents and rugged undertones, this scent makes headsturn.""" """http://jygoods.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=87819""" http://jygoods.com/shop/images/m-td1017100.jpg """42.99"""

IM SOOO LOST!!!:frusty:

ok this module has been working fine and i have about 17,000 items inserted into google product search well ive updated my product list and now google just says processing and it wont go past that step.....its been doing that for like 2 days...and ive tried a few times what is going on?

Hey ZenFlower,

I noticed the same thing for an upload I did 30 days ago. It took forever to change to searchable.

Others I talked to about it on another forum were experiencing the same thing, but eventually changed to searchable.

Did not take as long when I just did an upload yesterday. Everything is searchable today.

Did you get successful upload email notification from them?

no i havent received anything from them that is just it...whats going on

Rickie, I am not an expert, but would like to ask a couple questions to see if can help.

When you go to view your active item, what is the date of expiration?

When you did the create product file, and create product upload, did it indicate "OK" on both?

Also, the previous page to this thread commented about how to search through the configuration settings so as to change the passive settings.

It wil be referred to as PASV or Passive.

The one poster had a similar problem and changing the passive setting seemed to fix it right away.

Ok, enough from this newbie! :smile:

Yes.. That does indicate that everything is fine.

I can only suggest to not continue to try and update just because it is not changing from processing to searchable quick enough.

Give it a day and see if your items change from processing to searchable.

Honestly, at this point I don't know how else to help. Especially with everything saying "ok".

That upload message looks perfect.

Someone else will have to jump in!

Its working now...i think there is something wrong with google base lately...its taking like 2 days to process everything...either that or that are too many people submitting so its talking a while thanks for the help

Good deal.......

Help:

I can't find this - I need the latest version of the Google Froogle Tool and I have seen on this site that there is a version 1.3.7. This thread refers to a version 1.3.6. in a download section but I can't find the download section. Someone please point me in the direction of the downloads.

Thanks,
Theresa

I think you mean Google Base Feeder v1.7.1 if so you can download it from here
http://www.numinix.com/index.php?main_page=document_general_info&cPath=168_172_161&products_id=756

Does anyone know if this contribution will allow you to specificy different feeds for target countries?

According to the Google Base help (http://base.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=54611&hl=en), a UK, US and German version exist.

It would be great if these 3 different feeds could be created and uploaded at once.

Hi people, I'm new here so I hope I'm not jumping on something I'm not supposed to..

Our internet guy has just installed the Google base app on our zen cart but when I went to upload the product inventory to google base, it has whacked it all on US site instead. We are in UK, so thats not very good for us. I'd also like to remove a couple of the attributes on the items like, email address, amount, colour etc..

Can I access this myself through zencart to alter it?

Also got an error 400 message on a few items & it seemed to get stuck on one individual item too (looping) same error over & over again.

I was uploading about 500 products if it counts?

Cheers

Anyone know why this happens?

product with id 195 (Topeak Mini Dx Mini ...) returned error status 400
reason: Invalid item
detail: errors error type="data" field="image_link" reason="This entry is not of type URL." / /errors

product with id 196 (Topeak Mini Dx Mini ...) returned error status 400
reason: Invalid item
detail: errors error type="data" field="image_link" reason="This entry is not of type URL." / /errors

Doesn't do it on every item - Just a few

Same message I got and NO GO!!! SYSTEMS DOWN!!! ALERT alert!!

uaghhhHH:frusty:

Hi, i received a an error message from googlebase recently, it said that 94% of my listings Missing Identifiers /Missing UPC.
I'm confused because all my listings are the same stly in format,why 6% of my listing seems OK?
I use the latest version and did give a Products Model # when I create a new item in zencart admin.

Any help will greatly appreciated~

ok I have a question, I have like 19,000 products, now, when i create the file in my zen cart, tools>google base feeder>Create Product Feed:

How am i to break that file up so google can grab it?

How many products can I upload to google, and what should I call the file name? for example, the google base feeder autimatically calls it froogle_products.xml

To my understandings, I should also call it froogle_pructs.xml in my account with google. When I create the file in google, should I leave the xml extension on the end when im writing it, or should I just choose that option in the settings in google when i create the file?

Thanks in advance, I have been trying to tackle this now for 2 months with 0 products uploaded.. :cry:
