luxinterior Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Hi Calvin I'm looking at this and also the froogle one and they both look great. I'm confused though on two points. With yahoo as I read it I have to subscribe and give my credit card before I can get a username and password to be able to upload my feed is that correct? Also on froogle I stupidly entered MY ftp information and then was suprised that none of my prodcuts were showing on Froogle ;) I now realise I should be uploading to Froogles server. But how do I get a user name and password to be able to upload? Thanks and sorry for the newbie questions :( Lux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luxinterior Posted February 23, 2005 Share Posted February 23, 2005 Ok I figured out the google/froogle part of the puzzlen and have now signed up with them. Still not sure about the yahoo subscription issue thuogh, Lux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PopTheTop Posted April 18, 2005 Share Posted April 18, 2005 UPDATE If you are using CRON to automate your data feeds, then how do you REALLY truely know if they have been sent or not without logging into your account and checking the upload date? I have just added 3 lines of code to the bottom of your yahoo.php file that will send you an e-mail each time a new feed has been submitted. At the very bottom of yahoo.php, add this BEFORE the last ?> $datafeed_sent_email = 'Yahoo\'s Data Feeder has just submitted your product listings'; $datafeed_sent_subject = 'New Yahoo Data Feed Notification...'; tep_mail(STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS, $datafeed_sent_subject, $datafeed_sent_email, STORE_OWNER, STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS); Enjoy...

omidhz Posted July 18, 2005 Share Posted July 18, 2005 Hi guys, Thanks for the great contribution. I just have one small problem with this contribution. When I upload the data.txt file that this contribution creates to Yahoo!, I get error message on almost all of the products regarding the IMAGE. My products are listed correctly in Yahoo but without image. I had to download the template from Yahoo and save all the culomns from the orevious data.txt to the template and upload it manually. Now my images are working too. Any idea why this happens? thanks again Quote Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingMonkey Posted July 18, 2005 Author Share Posted July 18, 2005 double check your image path, open the generated txt file and ensure the link created is correct.

omidhz Posted July 19, 2005 Share Posted July 19, 2005 double check your image path, open the generated txt file and ensure the link created is correct. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Hi, Thanks for your reply, the links in the generated data file is correct. All I did, was I transfered the links from the generated data file to the template file and then it worked. :blink: I know it is wiered.

Nosrep Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 I'm having the same images issue. Looks fine in the file created yet they don't show up on yahoo. Any advice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creuser99 Posted October 12, 2005 Share Posted October 12, 2005 (edited) I also had the same issue with images not showing up in yahoo. I checked the data.txt file and the image links were all there and worked fine. The next day I checked yahoo and the images were working and i did nothing. Maybe they have someone approve the images before they go live ??? -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My problem is this, because yahoo is a ppc advertiser i want to be able to exclude specific categories from the feed, for example category 37, so items that have low conversion rates will not be uploaded in the feed to yahoo. This will save us all money!! I could manually go through the data.txt file once its created and use excel to get rid of the category, but i want an automated way to do this. Please please please someone let me know how to do this (with specific code). My other problem with yahoo is I have no good way to track my ROI to see if my yahoo advertising is working or not. I would love to hear ideas on this. Thanks Edited October 12, 2005 by creuser99 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yahoo/Kelkoo require different fields than googel feeder, but the script has only fields for google. Is there a working version for yahoo/kelkoo feeds ??
