Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

I did backup the database before I ran all the updates. But I did not switch back to the backup once I got the error. Now I have a bunch of sales that I would lose the information on. Database seems to work okay still but doesn't look like I will have google feeds. Is there any other methods to send products over to google base?

HHELP!!!!!!!!HELP!!!!!!!!!!HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Here is the message I have trying to run GF:

What did you set in:
Google Base Feeder Configuration?

Output File Name: modern1furniture_
try to just set to modern1furniture

This should write a modern1furniture_products.xml to your /feed directory

Let me know what happens if you run it again:

Google Base Feeder
Create Product Feed: Click [HERE] to create / update your products feed.

And you might try to use google_base_feeder1.7
I think the version v.1.7.0A is the one you want. You can still get it here:
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=473
just scroll down a bit.

This version works for me best. Newer ones gave me troubles. Some older 1.6x ones gave me strange results in the past.

Give it a shot...

If it works fine, feel free to upgrade to the latest version and try again. My results were just the most predictable for my sites with 1.7.

I am hoping someone can really help me install google feed. I have read the instructions and forum posts but it's a little above me. Please email me if you can help. I'm totally lost how to install and get it working. My email address is [email protected] my site is https://www.microbelift.net

I really need the help and thanks to anyone that can help really walk me through how to get this going. Again my email address is [email protected]

Yes, there are other methods to list your products on google base, but either they are too time consuming if you have a lot of products, or they are more technically advanced. If you'd like me to help you do the uninstall, I'd try my best to re-word the instructions, or possibly use msn messenger to let me remotely view your screen or something like that. I could point out to you where to perform what measures to go through the uninstall process, and then try to get a clean installation. just PM me with your email address or msn login and we can set up a time to meet online.

This person needs to remove the Google Base configuration keys with a group_id of 0 from the database. Then run the uninstall.sql file and then re-patch with googlefroogle.sql.

I don't think anything should be using configuration_group_id=0. So a quick method could be to simply do something like this:

 
DELETE FROM `configuration` WHERE `configuration_group_id` = 0;

Don't do this unless the Zen Cart developer's have confirmed that nothing should be using that id.

As well as my yahoo only doing 68 products and my amazon not even creating a file?? There are no threads on the yahoo feed or amazon.. I would like other feeds but need to get these going first...

I just installed this mod and was carefully working through the 7 step configuration process.

Everyting was going well until I hit step 7. Go to Admin->Tools>Google Base Feeder and follow instructions to create, view, and upload feed file.

I am running Zen Cart v1.3.8 and having installed this mod correctly, the Admin->Tools>Google Base Feeder menu item does not exist..

Anyone heard this before? What can I have possibly done wrong?

I have checked each file, one by one and all files are uploaded correctly and to the correct location. this is not a case of missing files unless I have a corrupted download?

It's not a corrupt download as I've downloaded it twice from the download area of Zen Cart and I've uninstalled it and re-installed it twice..... still missing that menu.

Been reading this thread and I know you say this has been answered here about a dozen times but it's a long, long thread and I can't find the answer.

It's mentioned that I must not have uploaded all the files but I definitely have that's not what's wrong...

If someone could advise then I'd really appreciate it as this looks like a brilliant mod... don't know why I've not noticed it before.

I just uninstalled this mod and installed froogle_0.1-beta1 mod instead.... this is a very similar contribution but I have found the exact same problem!!

It's also supposed to install a Tools>Submenu item but again, it installs the Configuration menu and NO TOOLS MENU.

Does anyone have any idea why both of these mods is not installing the TOOLS>SUBMENU?

More to the point, does anyone know which exact files it is that create the Tools menu??

I'm thinking that maybe I have an Admin OverRide folder somewhere that's overriding the installation of this mod...

windows_live_product_search_feeder_1-11a mod...........same problem.... will not install the TOOLS menus.

It seems therefore that when you said this question had been answered dozens of times already in this thread, the truth is it's not been answered.

There's something wrong with a lot of users admin files as these three mods do not generate the additional TOOLS menu for some reason.

Anyone have any idea why this can be?

Doooooohhhh!! Figured this out finally!! I forgot that I'd renamed my ADMIN folder some time ago for security purposes :-)

so, I have woz and base mods, and they are somehow preventing the feed from working properly. is there a way I can go into my site database and import my product info into excel to create a feed manually?

Is there a way to make this mod display the same "Category" on google base for all items? I get the top level folder that my item is listed under (Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, Mitsubishi) and I want them to all read "Automotive" instead of the vehicle manufacturer.

Thanks!!!!
