Hi there
I have searched for same error in the forum but cannot find anything. Am installing the mon on a new site, have uploaded all files and installed all the sql updates without incident. When I try and install the googlefroogle sql query there is the following error:

Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

jgg1974:

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:

You should register the filename that is outputted by the script. Which will be "whatevernameyoudefined_products.xml"

2 months? You could have profitted many times the amount of our installation cost by now...

What do you mean all of the SQL updates? If it is a new site, you shouldn't be upgrading. Run the uninstall and then only patch with the file mentioned in the documentation...

Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

newuser123:

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~

Are you confusing the word "ERROR" with "WARNING"? Google never ended up making the UPC and ISBN attributes required. You'll get a warning that these attributes are recommended, but this won't stop the product from being processed.

Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

I have tried the uninstall and then just upload the googlefroogle.sql, but still get the same error. I can get the file to execute if I remove all the lines that are duplicated in the update files, but then I have no fields showing in the Froogle configuration page in admin.
Is there any way of removing the updates?
Thanks
Sara

Most likely they weren't associated with a configuration_group_id which was a typo in one of the older versions. You'll have to manually remove the rows from the db using PHPMYADMIN.

Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

I've been using this for months and all the sudden it will only take 287 of 2500+ items.

I haven't changed anything. Did Google make changes ot the file format they'll accept?

Here are my errors:

Error 	Bad data 	Line #
We recommend including this attribute. 

weight

	
We recommend including this attribute.

upc

	
We recommend including this attribute. 

isbn

	
This expiration date is too far in the future.

expiration date:2009-11-25

I have NO IDEA where it is getting that expiration date. I've searched my entire database and my entire site and that date is NOWHERE to be found. I also get a "There is a problem with the character encoding of this attribute" for my product description. Again, nothing changed so I am baffled.

Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

Can you point me to the rows that need deleting please? I had a quick look at the configuration table there didn't seem to be anything relating to the froogle feed there.

Thanks

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
Look at this maybe this will help you.

Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

Hi,

I'm having a problem with installing Google Base feeder and I don't know why, because I installed it last week in a store, same ZC version 1.3.8a (that I am installing it in today) and last week the install went perfectly, but now when I run the SQL patch while installing it in a different store, for some reason when I go to Admin>Configuration, the Google base configuration link is not showing up at the bottom of the list, even though the Google base feeder link is showing up in the tools menu.

So anyway, I re ran the install MySQL patch and now I am getting the below error:

1062 Duplicate entry 'GOOGLE_BASE_DEFAULT_QUANTITY' for key 2
in:
[INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_id, configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES (NULL, 'Default Quantity', 'GOOGLE_BASE_DEFAULT_QUANTITY', '0', 'What is the default quantity for products with zero quantity?', @configuration_group_id, 7, NOW(), NULL, NULL), (NULL, 'Payment Notes', 'GOOGLE_BASE_PAYMENT_NOTES', 'GoogleCheckout', 'Add payment notes (use this for showing you accept Google Checkout)', @configuration_group_id, 35, NOW(), NULL, NULL);]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

Any insights or ideas on how I could troubleshoot this problem appreciated.

Thanks.

Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

Just to add here with this above problem I'm having, I checked the configuration table, and there are only two entries in it for the base feed – Configuration ID’s 567 and 568; Default Quantity and Payment notes. And these two rows are assigned a configuration_group_id of 0.

The configuration table for the functional site with the google base feed installed however, shows rows 567 to 604 filled with correct configuration_group_id of 31. So for some reason this table did not get filled on install.

I’ve edited table data for a long time using my trusty Navicat MySQL GUI, but only for products and pricing, I have never done it for the configuration tables.

Would a fix to this install problem be to just copy the data from the table of the functioning site, and paste it to the non working site/table?? Or would that cause more problems that it’s worth?

Just remove the rows for this module that are showing a configuration_group_id = 0 and any of the rows that were installed properly and then re-run the SQL installation file from the latest version.

Hi

I seem to be having trouble again with the uploading of my items, I changed the PASV to false and it uploaded it last time but this time it won't.

You'll have to upload it manually. But, if it works sometimes, why not just set a nightly cron and every few days that it works it shoud update unless your products change titles, descriptions, and prices on a daily basis...

Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

Alex Clarke:

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.

Does anyone have the answer to this?

Thanks.

I've heard nothing about different feeds for target countries yet and believe this isn't possible with the latest version of this contribution.

It would be a great addition and I think many people (especially those who trade worldwide) would benefit form it.

Maybe you are missing some attributes for the items? Google will not add items unless they have a description. So if you have a bunch of items without a description they will not be processed.

Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

I just loaded the feeder, i thought everything went ok, but when ran the xml file, there were now products included. since this was my first time doing this, i have no clue what i did wrong. I received no errors when loading so i do not know where to start.

thanks in advance
