Are you sure? It should handle Special prices... if your using the lastest version. There was a minor bug in the previous versions. It checks for the special status and for the special expirationd date. It will NOT work with some mass sales making contributions. It is designed to work with standard osC setups. With that particular link... it seems like it's working just fine.

Hi Taz1, I am aware of the issue, and initally created a fix for it but during testing it did not meet necessary standards for it to run on most osCommerce systems. Since then, I've run out of time every night after school and work. Not to mention a lack of sleep. Hopefully, after I graduate from college in the next couple of weeks, I will have some free time. -calvin

The order of the Feed should be fine. It's been in this order, since the original Froogle Data Feeder. Froogle/Google is notorious for their slow responses. Patience is virtue. Pictures may not show up if you have spaces or odd characters in your image names. I have a beta ready for testing that includes feature request and may resolve a few of the issues people are experiencing. Please PM me if your interested.

you'll probably need to include application_top.php since the froogle data feeder is designed to work as a standalone without any osC files. introducing application_top.php may cause bugs, at least one is known to modify the default langauge.

It makes sense, and could be useful to some users, but a lot of cron systems alreaady send out an e-mail automatically.

Did you create and chmod the folder?

copy and paste a line produced by the feed and we'll take a look at it.

The Froogle Data Feeder is designed for use and integration with ONLY Froogle. However, it may work with other shopping comparision search engines. No offical support is provided for use outside of Froogle. There are a few other SCS's available in the contributions section (Yahoo, Bizrate, etc). Flyer5: check your image path in froogle.php.

The release of 1.62 was intended to support this... and worked intially for beta testing, but was not stable for a widespread release. i'll have to look into again... it's almost 6am and i gotta finish my paper for school, finally goto sleep, get there by 9am and stay there till 6pm. ahh.. the college life. i better stop procrastinating.

:-"

It's documented in the installation instructions under section 4a.

i believe i've coded it in the yahoo feeder, try looking in there.

thanks. i doubt anyone has that much text per description. that's ~18 pages of text without line breaks, most likely that's not the problem.

Into the Jibber? Mostly likely your issue is that you have tabs in your description too, use the Froogle.zip, I posted earlier.

i know http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2679/ has fixed the not stored issue, but i was wondering if this contribution was affected by the problem too.

Does this contribution fix the problem of how the order isn't store by osC, if the user does not click on the last button in Paypal?

http://www.conceptualnetworking.com/calvink/froogle.php That'll resolve the extra tab issue, that I mentioned above. It includes removing excess tabs in the built-in cleaner. -Calvin

That's just your text editor, it should look fine on Froogle.

v1.62 is delayed due to a bug that i caught right before releasing it. v1.62 would have added support to allow users to choose their feed language.

Hey Guys! I just got back from two gruel weeks of finals and spring break in the death valley (not much computer access there). What's the maximum description length? I'll put in a trimmer to trim it down to the Froogle Maximum. Yes, the %20 is an issue. I helped someone a few months ago with that issue... Most of these issues have occured and solutions are posted in this massive topic. str_replace(" ","%20",$row->image_url) . "\t" . will correct the issue. The code also has a built in cleaner, so if you have extra tabs: find this line: $_cleaner_array = array(">" => "> ", "®" => "", "?" => "", "™" => "", "?" => ""); and add the two forms of tabs, a regular tab (by pushing tab, and \t) into that code.

i probably meant (Recommended: Optional), I'll update it in the next release.

Wait till the Froogle Servers update, it's not even close to instant. Give it a day or two, and if it's your first feed it has to be approved too.

it's currently not supported to do that... err... 1/2 way done with feeder system 2.0 oh well... i just just coded an updated version of the current with lauguage support. pm me and i'll give you a download location for beta testing.

clifton, the file is not corrupt. as indicated in the description, that contribution is now integrated into the froogle data feeder, so there is no separate contribution. so look for contribution 2000.
