Mines also been running fine using v3.2a although i cannot automatically send the feed atleast it created the files for manually ftping. The new version provides more compatibility incase we get blocked for not complying..

Hi

 

Just had the following come up:

 

Warning: gethostbyaddr() [function.gethostbyaddr]: Address is not a valid IPv4 or IPv6 address in /homepages/xxxxxx/htdocs/catalog/admin/whos_online.php on line 400

 

 

Any ideas? Should i be worried?

Great contrib, but was wondering if anybody can help me. I'm trying to update the froogle_uk file to post the model field as well. But I have no idea where to start. If anybody could help I would really appreciate it

Hi Dave,

 

That's very easy to do, especially because the Model is already displayed under the field "label" (but with the product name, not alone), so there is not even the need to change the SQL query.

 

Here are the instructions on how to do it:

 

To update the Google feeds to include the "model" field as well, using the "product_model" field of the database:

 

in /admin/froogle_??.php, after line 82:

 

$product_type = 1;

 

add:

 

$product_model = 1;

 

----

after lines 300-301:

 

if($product_type == 1)

$output .= "\t product_type ";

 

add:

 

if($product_model == 1)

$output .= "\t model ";

if($currency == 1)

 

----

after lines 419-423:

 

if($product_type == 1)

{

$catNameTemp = strtolower($catName);

$output .= " \t " . $row->catName;

}

 

add:

 

if($product_model == 1)

$output .= " \t " . $row->prodModel;

 

--------

 

That's it!

 

Since others might also want to use thise feature (and I don't think that it could be detrimental to use it in any way, even if the the model field is empty), I'll include this modification in the version 3.3a that I'll upload in a few minutes.

So, as said in the previous message, I have released the Automated Store Feeds v3.3a:

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,4455

 

The only modification is a small enhancement of the Google Base feeds, to include the "model" field as well (using the "product_model" field of the database).

 

No further modifications.

 

That's an optional update.

 

For those having already this contribution installed, you'd only need to copy (overwrite) the files /catalog/admin/froogle_??.php to update.

I take it that is a No on the above then <_<

 

 

Another problem i am having is that all my products on Bidhopper are showing $0.00 prices. Anyone got a fix for it. Also can it be shown in £ or not?

Hi Richard,

 

If your website is spiceworld.uk.com (got this by Googling for "spiceworld") then the cause of your problem is because your have only Pounds as a available currency. You need to add the US Dollar currency.

 

Bid Hopper is a website from the US, therefore accepts only prices in US Dollars. (The feed doesn't specify a curreny, it only specifies a number, which Bidhopper takes as an amount in US Dollars.)

 

The latest version of the Bidhopper feed generator (which they call, in fact, Dynalist Generator) automatically takes the US Dollar prices. Since they don't exist in your store, a price of 0.00$ appears.

 

Regards,

Hi nafri,

 

Look at your feed file, in the directory /feeds . There will quite probably be an error in it, at the "location" of your items.

If you don't find it, post a few lines of your file here and we will try to help.

 

Regards,

Hi Daniel,

 

Have a look at your feed file generated in your directory /feeds. That will give us more information about the problem you're having.

Is your file there, is it incomplete, etc.? If your file is incomplete, look at which product it stopped to work - you might have a problem there.

Post your feed file here if you don't find the cause of your problem.

 

Regards,

Hello All!

 

I have just installed the feeder, and the upload to Google works great. My problem arises after that, because once Google processes it, it says that I have too many errors. My question is: is it something that I am doing wrong, or is it the feeder?

 

This is what I got from Google.

We didn't understand the header (first) row of your file. Please make sure that there is one attribute name for each column, and that you are using valid attribute names.

Hi, thanks for this incredible contribution! I can't wait to use it! Except, I'm really disappointed, not to mention pretty embarassed, but I'm already stuck on step #1!

 

Upload all files to your catalog directory

 

What does that mean exactly? I take it to mean that you want to post all your products on your site.

 

Please let me know if I got it right or totally wrong.

 

Thanks for your help,

I'm back again. BTW, don't use Coffeecup Direct FTP for anything but htmal files. OMG. I've had so many issues lately simply from CC FTP breaking files.

 

My big issue now is that the feed generators aren't working. I had gotten them to work somewhat before, then we installed Easy Populate+Attributes, which works but it broke the feed generator. This is what it says now:

The other feeds say similar things.

 

I'm going to subscribe to this thread. I hope that I get a helpful response and I don't forget to check back. Things have been crazy for me. Thank for the help.

Hi Nafri,

 

You are not supposed to have a file named "FROOGLE_UK_FTP_FILENAME". That is the name of a variable in the code!

 

If you haven't solved your problem, please post the beginning of your feed file here, with the error message given by Google.

Google says that there is an error on line 2 of your file, so there must be something there, we just need to look at it.

 

Also post the entire error message Google gives you, so that we can track back the error.

 

Regards,

Hi Greg,

 

You fedds file looks alright to me. When you created your file upload in your Google Base account, are you sure you specify that this file was for a "Products"?

 

Otherwise, you can write the support of Google base, explaining clearly your issue and all the details:

http://base.google.com/support/bin/request.py

http://base.google.com/support/bin/request...act_type=nofind

They generally give a very good support.

 

Please come back here to post what was the cause of your issue, so that we can all learn from it!

 

Regards,

 

-Ben Martin

Hi Jason,

 

That means that you need to take a FTP software to copy the files of this contribution to your web hosting server.

 

When it is written "your catalog directory", that means the directory where you have installed osCommerce.

By convention, people speak about this directory as being /catalog , but it might be installed in another directory for you (e.g. /my_shop ), it doesn't matter.

 

If you haven't used a FTP client before, it's very easy to use, you can find many simple tutorials on the Internet.

I just search on Google and found this one:

http://www.ftpplanet.com/ftpresources/basics.htm

 

And this is a free (and open source) ftp program:

http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/

That's a very good one, to my own opinion.

 

Regards,

 

-Ben Martin

Hi Melissa,

 

It simply looks like that, somehow, your database doesn't have the required modifications for Automated Store Feeds. For example, "FROOGLE_US_FTP_FILENAME" is the name of a variable, that you define from the admin interface.

Perhaps you restored from a previous backup?

 

Look in your database of the content of the file "feeds.sql" is there, then simply re-import the SQL file.

(But don't forget to make backups of your database before doing anything!)

 

Regards,

I feel like such a ditz! Ok:

 

STEP 1: Upload all files to your catalog directory

 

means: Upload all "the included contributions" files to your catalog.

 

What was I thinking!?

 

Thanks for your help, Ben!!

 

I really appreciate it!
