Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

wagnerguy:

ok, i understand, so i should load all the files from the Sql updates folder?

Yes that is right, but only the versions you need to update. If you have google_base version 1_6_15 installed you need to run all the updates beyond that update_1_6_17, update_1_7_1, update_1_7_2, update_1_7_3
You still do not have some updated. Your will have to look like mine if it is to be up to date.

Sometimes it is just faster to reinstall the database by running uninstall.sql and then re run the install.

Remember to save your Google Base FTP details if you use that method for upload.

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.

this probably explains why all my fields are not being displayed..

what should i do

Thanks numinix for the input, I have said this over and over AND PLEASE BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP BEFORE YOU DO ANYTHING.
Sometimes you will have to go to your database and manual remove them.

Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

Where would I add this in the Google base Feeder module so that the script would run until it is done?
set_time_limit(0);
It is timing out and I don't want to change my "max_execution_time" any higher than what it is set to.

What version of Google_base are you using?

Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

Hello All,
I am having a problem mentioned in this thread, however, I still can not resolve it.
When I go to upload products thru the admin "Upload Product Feed: Click [HERE] to upload products feed to Google Base."
I get this:

Google Base Feeder v.1.7.0 09.019.2008 17:38:59 started 2009/05/12 19:04:38
Feed file - /home/keepsafe/public_html/feed/domain_products.xml
Processing: Feed - No, Upload - Yes
Upload started...
Connection failed: uploads.google.com

Upload failed...

My last upload was on April 4th with no problems. I have installed Ceon URI Mapping but, it was working with this add-on on April 4th.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

hey guys, i have this mod version 1.7.1a installed, but it only grabs some of my products? it will create a file 6.3mb or so then stop. it's not timing out, and i've set my max products to infinite (0).

i have around 19k products, but it will only generate around 5-6k of them. it's also a different file size every time i run it?

anyone else have this problem?

Download Version: 1.7.3a from here and upgrade. Version: 1.7.3a comes with a debug. Go to your admin/configurations/google_base/debug and cut it on. It will show you any errors you have.

Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

Just wanted to say that everything is actually working now outside of the debug errors. The cron is good the upload is good - just took it like 3 hours to process on the Base side!

One more question... does the cron tha was posted in the instructions create the feed too or just upload?

Thanks

I upgraded and it seems to process a few more products, but still only about 25% of the products i have. I enabled the debug and received no errors, no time outs or anything. After about 37-40 seconds it just stops. I tried installing Numinix's old windows live search feeder but the same thing happens. It doesn't process all the products, and i receive no errors..?

Correction in my last post, it will do both for you. You will have to set up a cron job for each one. One to create the feed and one to upload it.

Re: Google Base Feeder Support Thread [OLD]

Google has added a new feature in the Google Base account admin where you can define how often you want Google Base to cral your feed file. I suggest everyone use this feature instead of the automatic features of the Google Base Feeder as it will help reduce server load and chance of missed uploads due to errors.
http://www.numinix.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=6&st=0&sk=t&sd=a&start=300
If you are having problems creating a feed, you need to make sure you have a dedicated IP address on your server

i don't know if this is addressed to me, but my issue isn't with feeding the data to google. It's with creating the xml file of all my products. i don't know if this mod can handle a large number of products or not, it seems to just stop at 5-6k, with no error messages. It just stops.
