The problem for me was that i had "options as images" contribution installed alongside the "option type" contribution. The two contributions need some tweaking in order to work together. If you suspect this is your problem, i'll paste my product_info.php code here, as that is the problematic file. -George

I'm looking for someone to help me get the product options contribution working. I have a few other contributions installed, and it may be interfering. I'm looking to pay a coder with experience with this contribution to fix my problem. I have all option types (text, textbox, radio buttons, etc) showing up on the products_info.php page as drop-down boxes. For instance, if i want to add a text attribute, it shows up as a dropdown box with the word "TEXT", not a text input box. Can someone help me out here? I am willing to pay hourly to fix this problem and I need it done ASAP. Thanks. Please call me at 201-963-4305. George Burke

I thought I posted the fix for the missing images here, but here it is again. The problem is caused by spaces in the filename. This piece of code will replace filename spaces with %20. Open up admin/froogle.php Find this around line 236: $row->image_url . "\t" . and replace it with this: str_replace(" ","%20",$row->image_url) . "\t" . THAT'S IT! it's that simple.

in case anyone was wondering, I finally got a fix for spaces in image filenames. Change this line (around 236): $row->image_url . "\t" . to this: str_replace(" ","%20",$row->image_url) . "\t" . This will replace any spaces in the image's filename with the %20 symbol. The reason this needs to be done is because froogle cannot handle spaces in the image filename. Hope this helps other people with my similar problem. -George

So after getting some advice, i changed the code from: $row->image_url . "/t" . to urlencode($row->image_url) . "\t" . This fixed my problem...... all too well. It got me my %20 in the feed output text file, but it also change the forward-slashes and the colon to their symbol codes. i ONLY want to replace the spaces in this string with %20. I've gotten other advice to use the preg_replace() function. Would that work? Anyone know how to set that up correctly?

I have no problem uploading to froogle. the feed works just fine... but as you said, i get an "image unavailable" message.

Hi everyone, here's my qualm... i have installed the froogle data feeder for my clients, but some of the clients are uploading images with spaces in the filenames. That apparantly is a problem for froogle because the images won't show up in their product listings if there are spaces in the image filenames. What can be done about changing the datafeeder that when capturing the image filename, it runs through it, checks it for spaces, and replaces the space with %20. Browsers automatically replaces spaces with %20, but not froogle. Here's a sample image URL sent to froogle: http://www.arrowsicislandpottery.com/images/White mouse w red web.jpg Here's the image URL FIXED. THis is what SHOULD be sent to froogle: http://www.arrowsicislandpottery.com/images/White%20mouse%20w%20red%20web.jpg Can someone help me figure out how to change the datafeeder code to implement this?? Thanks.

2 questions before I install... does it have the capability of exporting as a .csv file? Also, does it show the customer's email address too? -George

I tried asking about this before. It seems this contribution isn't compatible with HTML in the product descriptions (like the MaxiDVD WYSIWYG editor). Who knows what can be done to make it compatible with HTML?

Hi, I have installed the PDF catalogue on a site that uses the MaxiDVD WYSIGYG editor for HTML product descriptions. On some of the spaces in the text of the descriptions, " " is shown instead of an actual space on the printout of the PDF catalogue. What can be done to fix this?

I have not yet tried this, but there is a new contribution called "PName and CName" and it puts the product name and the category name into the URL without .htaccess and without apache rewrite rules. http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,2747 I suggest someone try this because it may speed up the site???

Hi Steve, I'm still looking for the fix that you created to get wolfen featured sets to work in conjunction with the category descriptions contribution. Thanks bro.

Your images shouldn't be located in the "feeds" directory. They're supposed to be in the shop's images directory. go back and open your froogle configuration and make sure the defined images path there equals the images directory in your shop.

Hi Steve, the problem with the wolfen featured sets not having the ability to be placed to the right of the "new products for [month]" is not caused by a fixed width site page. Mine is the default 100% width. But that's not the biggest issue. I'm still trying to get the categories description contribution and the wolfen featured sets contribution working together. You wrote previously about moving the wolfen category functions inside the category description function. Can you be specific as to what blocks of code you moved to where? Thanks, George
