Yahoo! Product Submit Feeder

Got this working fine and submitted with no trouble to Yahoo!

My only concern now is that they tell me "You chose to have your products automatically categorized by Yahoo" and they dropped me into a bunch of funky (expensive) categories for some of my products.

Every one of them should go directly into only one category every time. They say to do this, I need to add a field for the category. Can this be added to the feed? I don't need it to be a big admin controlled menu thing; just a bit of code in the right place. They call the field "yahoo-shopping-category"

I would be more than happy to update the module, please contact [email protected].

I too would like the category feature added.

My product feed also dropped my products into a bunch of expensive categories that they dont belong in.

The module sends your categories to Yahoo, so if you have a DVD player it would look like:

Consumer Electronics > DVD Players

This is then put in the file as "merchant-site-category"

"merchant-site-category" is not the correct category field, that just tells yahoo what the category is on zencart, it does not tell yahoo what category to put it in on the yahoo categories.

I think the proper field name you need is "yahoo-shopping-category"

Can you please add this feature?

I'm not sure if I installed this mod correctly in my Zen 1.3.7 cart. I get these messages:

Warning: main(includes/languages/english/yahoo.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/v/i/c/vickilapp/html/yahoo.php on line 37

Warning: main(includes/languages/english/yahoo.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/content/v/i/c/vickilapp/html/yahoo.php on line 37

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required 'includes/languages/english/yahoo.php' (include_path='.:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/content/v/i/c/vickilapp/html/yahoo.php on line 37

There were 4 .sql files provided with this mod:
yahoo.sql, then 3 files that were in the sql update folder. The only one that uploaded without an error was update_v1.08.sql. Do all 4 need to be uploaded?

Any guidance on how to properly install this module? I didn't see instructions in a readme file or elsewhere.

Thanks in advance!

I just installed this with no problems, but there is no option under tools to upload the feed. The option under config is there and everything seems to be setup correctly. Any ideas here? I've tried reinstalled twice.

After installing Yahoo Product Feeder, I got this message:

I tried to click on "Upload Product Feed", and I got this message:

I go to Step 2 and registered a Yahoo Product Feed Submit, but I still get the above messages. Please show me how. Thanks so much for your help and support.
