I don't offer specialized coding due to the trime it takes but I will mention that

if($catParentID = '28')

should be

if($catParentID == '28')

Thank you. I did have == when I placed it into the file to test but it didn't work. I don't know why but $catParentID is always empty. No worries as it isn't a killer at this time but it would be nice to be able to get pretty granular in the google taxonomy. Might lead to better ranking...

You're missing definitions in the english.php file so you must have overwrote/deleted those when making the changes for that file.

I added the product_condition to the database BUT I have no idea how to add it to my product input page. I may have to use your ADD MORE FIELDS .

Any ideas on how to do it manually??

It's not a simple change so it isn't something I would go through in a support thread like this. You could try posting in the general forum and someone might walk you through it.

Sorry for the basic question, but I can't get tax working at all, using ver 2.9. The feed is showing excluding Tax, but I am in Australia and have to show 10% tax.

I searched this thread and found some similar questions from users with 2.8, but the solution was fixed in 2.9..? What do I have to set to show 10% tax? Thanks [img]http://forums.oscommerce.com//public/style_emoticons/default/smile.png[/img]

I have messed around with the following, but must not have got the right combo.

define('OPTIONS_ENABLED_INCLUDE_TAX', 1);
define('OPTIONS_TAX_RATE' , '10.0');
define('OPTIONS_TAX_CALC', (OPTIONS_ENABLED_INCLUDE_TAX
define('OPTIONS_TAX_STRING'

If it is a flat 10% for everything you would be better off logging into your googlebase account and setting up the tax there.

Hi Jack,

It won't let me set it there - it will only allow for US states, even when I have set my Country to Australia.. unless there's another way.

>>>>


Tax & Shipping

Overview

The tax setting should only be used for merchants submitting feeds to the US. Please do not use this setting if you are not submitting feeds to the US. For all other countries, it is required to submit prices which are tax inclusive.

In that case, the OPTIONS_ENABLED_INCLUDE_TAX option should be set to 2.

[Rev0lt]

Thanks, got it working. I was putting 2 in the first 'OPTIONS_ENABLED_INCLUDE_TAX' but not in the one further down.

Hello. I came upon the strangest thing, that I can't seem to figure out. I'm using the latest "GoogleBase" v2.9 release with all latest, required by Google, attributes. When I create a data feed (in .txt) and view it through ftp, it shows perfectly, with all the required attributes. However, if I view this .txt file in browser (and this is also what is being uploaded to Google Base), it shows absolutely different information, the attributes are different, like the file is being pulled from somewhere else. I checked everywhere and couldn't find any other occurrences of this file, only in my /googlefeeds/ directory. I'm really confused and don't know where to look for a solution. Can somebody help, please?

Try going into your feeds directory and deleting the feed. Then run the script manually and check that directory again. If the file is not there, then something is wrong with your paths. If it is there, download it to your computer, open it and verify the data is correct. If it is, then go into your googlebase account and use the option to upload it manually. If the data is correct, then something is wrong with your path in the cron job, most likely.

Hi Jack,

Thanks for your reply. I did just like you said, ran the script manually from my admin panel and then downloaded file from ftp /googlefeeds/ directory to my computer, and all the data is correct. Also, when I manually run a script and the file is uploaded to Google Base, it shows no errors, except for the 'product type' value. Google requires more precise classification signals for ‘product type’ attribute, such as > or /.

However, if I click on the link created by running a script in admin panel, the file shows a wrong data, though it's a file from exactly same location as the one I downloaded through ftp. What can be wrong with the script?

The directions say to create a directory named feeds. Since you are using a different directory, you have to change the code in the file to use it.

[Irin]

Yes, I changed the code to the following:

$OutFile = 'googlefeeds/' . FEEDNAME;

I don't offer support for altered code (others may though), even if it is a valid change. Plus, I've already provided the troubleshooting techniques for finding the problem. Anything else would require seeing the feed, the results on google, etc., which isn't possible in a support thread.

Hi Jack,

Back to an old subject....

I have had a warning from Google Review team that some prices on my feed do not match the prices on my store - this relates to the Vat / Non-Vat items that I sell.

I have Vat (Tax) turned on to add 20% to all products - which makes the Non-Taxable items a higher price on the feed than they should be - hence the warning email from Google.

Have you had any more thoughts on how submitting accurate prices could be achieved for a store that sells taxable and non taxable items? (without having to manually alter the feed prior to submission)

Many Thanks

No, I haven't had time to look at it.

[Mort-lemur]

Ok Thanks Jack,

The previous code you gave me is almost there and I have spent hours trying to sort it to no avail.

I will make a post under General support to see if anyone can spot what needs changing.

Thanks
