Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

Alex Clarke:

I don't think you can get this to work will all 3 versions of Google Base at the moment.

I did post this question some time ago, but received no reply.

Hopefully, a future version of this contribution will support this.

What happens when you change the language and currency in the Google Base Configuration? The mod definitely works with Google Base UK.

I've been able to get this contribution to work with Google Base UK. And it works great!

However, I would like to use it with Google Base in both the USA and Germany.

So, I was wondering if support for creating and uploading 3 different feeds was in the pipe line?

Hello there,

USA one is easy. You will have to set up a new feed name for America only in your Google Base. Then save the feed from your site to your desktop, and rename it the same as you define for the American feed.

The German one is difficult. I have been unable to login with my existing credentials so I reckon you may have to set up a new account for that one.

Yes, that's one option, but the prices would have to be changed. Also, I don't fancy doing this manual work everytime a product changes on my website.

It could become very boring... very quickly! :mellow:

I only plan to support the USA and UK at this time. If you are willing to support the update I could make it compatible with the German website.

A bug has been found for the shipping outputs and a new version will be released after testing is complete.

So, is it possible to automatically submit a feed to the UK and US version of Google Base at the moment?

Not at the same time.

I am using zen cart 1.3.7 and was using an older version of Google Base Feeder. I attempted an upgrade to 1.7.1 but when I go to Tools -> Google Base Feeder I see this:

Lots of files have probably changed since your older version and you will need to make sure to overwrite all of the files (including the ADMIN).

This common mistake is highlighted in the documentation.

Thank you. I must have had an FTP hiccup. I re-uploaded the files and it seems to be working correctly now.

I installed Googlefroogle and double checked install as far as I can tell but when I go into tools,google base feeder, and choose "Create Product Feed: Click [HERE] to create / update your products feed."
It thinks for half a second and outputs a blank pop up window.

I copy and pasted the sql updates and as far as I can tell they worked fine.

Searched posts but couldn't find anyone else with similar problem.

Any Ideas?

Zen Version 1.3.8.a
googlefroogle ver 1 7 1 a

Oh btw I have just over 10,000 products, Don't think this has anything to do with problem but did increase php.ini time limits

Any help would be greatly appreciated

What happens when you limit the feed to a lesser number of products?

Do you have wordpress?

How long did you leave the blank window open for?

This is what I'm seeing, don't see a spot to adjust output
I don't have wordpress, will anything else work

And I
did it again and the 8 minutes it's taken me to gather the post it's still blank and says "done" on lower left corner of browser

I feel like i'm missing a file but have installed everything twice.

Any Ideas

My images are not showing in google base.
I have external images on my site. The image location shows as https://www.mysite.com/www.externalsite.com in the google feed
Is there a place to remove edit image location?

Hi All

I originally had around 13,000 prods and the mod ran fine. Then I added a cat with subcats that has around 21,000 prods. I was able to run it on only that cat a few days ago. I have a few a 15 MB XMLs files that it created and Google accepted, so I know it worked fine until today. ZC 1.3.8, PHP 5

Now, it won't run at all. I haven't added anything since the last run, just moved prods around. I get an out of memory error, my host (hostgator) says they haven't made any changes recently.

I added half of my cats to the "Excluded Category" list, and still get the error. Then I cleared the excluded and just put 1 cat in the "Included Cats" list. Still get the memory error.

I'm using the category IDs, seperated by commas. Is that correct?

I'd really like to find a way to create these files. Is there a place I can hard-code the cat IDs in the code files?

Here's the memory error:

Google Base Feeder v.1.7.0 09.019.2008 17:38:59 started 2009/01/19 17:35:20

Did you make SURE that you uploaded the googlefroogle.php file to your root... it sits "outside" of the other folders and is easy to miss if you upload it manually.

(It happened to me)
