The Feedmachine Solution

[32 Degrees 1]

"Your feed contains non-unique items. These items will be dropped."

 

For those of you experiencing the above error this quick and dirty fix should solve it.

 

In feedmachine.php around line 283:

FIND:

$cycle_length = floor(1000/sizeof($languages_used))*sizeof($languages_used);

 

REPLACE WITH

$cycle_length = floor(10000/sizeof($languages_used))*sizeof($languages_used);

 

The only change was increasing 1000 to 10000. This increases the cycle length causing more of your products processed in one cycle. The duplicate problem seemed to occur at boundary points of cycles when more than one cycle was necessary.

 

Good luck!

Hi'

 

What a great attribution :)

 

I have one problem though; According to Google ( https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/1347943 ) the feed for Apparel now has to include one line (item) for each size or color of an item:

 

You are required to submit one item per variant combination. For example, if a t-shirt is offered in 4 different colors and each color is available in 5 different sizes, you must submit a total of 20 items.

 

The ‘Item group ID’ attribute is different from the ‘ID’ attribute. An ‘Item group ID’ attribute will have common values for a group of variants whereas the ‘ID’ attribute should have unique values across a group of variants and for all other items, as well.

 

Has anyone found a solution for this?

 

I am currently using this feedmachine configuration: http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/7130

 

But this just lists the sizes as comma-separated "1y, 2y, 3y, 4y" in a size column on the spreadsheet (it should have been made as 4 lines in the spreadsheet as 4 induvidual products)

 

Kind regards,

Mikael

Please,

 

Anyone can add the attribute "availability" to this addon?

 

The Google merchant now need this and will cancel all your products from they listing if that's no available.

 

Hope get good news here.

Is there a way too use $exclude, too exclude an individual category from going too Google category tree function?

 

function FM_RS_google_categories_us_en($product) {

$output_field_category = ($product['parent_id'] > 0) ? $product['parent_id'] : $product['categories_id'];

return (($output_field_category == 6) ? 'Arts & Entertainment > Musical Instrument Accessories > String Instrument Accessories':

[julienanglet 0]

Hello,

I search this function too !

 

how to exclude categories?

How not to release products that are not in stock?

 

Thank for your help

Hi,

 

When generating a feed i'm getting this error..

 

The field products_id specified in the google-product-search.txt feed does not exist in any of the queried tables.
     Please ensure you have entered the correct field name and that it exists in one of the tables queried in $master_query (see code)

 

Greetings, Anne

DJ Viper, this is because you are probably running php 5.5 and there are deprecated functions in there.

 

I have been working with this, but I'm still having a problem.  I don;t know if it related to this particular issue or not:

 

in feedmachine.php around line 335 you'll find this code:

$mysqli = defined('MYSQL_EXTENSION') && MYSQL_EXTENSION == 'mysqli';

  $i=0;
  $fields = array();
  while( $i < ( $mysqli ? mysqli_num_fields($master_query) : mysql_num_fields($master_query) ) ) {
    ++$i;
    $cur_field = ( $mysqli ? mysqli_fetch_field($master_query) : mysql_fetch_field($master_query) );
    $fields[] = $cur_field->name;
  }

change it to read:

$mysqli = defined('MYSQL_EXTENSION') && MYSQL_EXTENSION == 'mysqli';

  $i=0;
  $fields = array();
  $fields_cnt = mysqli_num_fields($master_query);
 
  while( $i < $fields_cnt ) {
	$fields[] = mysqli_fetch_field_direct($master_query, $i)->name;
        ++$i;
  }

This won't if you don't have the mysqli extension enabled in PHP.

 

Still have a problem where it won't list but 16 of the 10,000+ products I have, but at least it stopped that particular error.  now have to debug the rest of the system.

Hello

 

I am using Feedmachine, but there seems to be a problem with the In Stock feature in the output file.

 

Even if products have "0" set in "quantity" the product is in the putput file with the value "In Stock", when it should have been "Out of Stock"

 

Anyway around this problem?

 

Best

I am using 2.3.4 bootstrap edge. When I try generating a feed, I am receiving this message.

It would seem that It should work. Any suggestions.

 

Thank you.

Currently my titles are 120 characters in length. For Google Merchant feed, they require the length to be no longer than 70 characters. How can I change in the feedmachine to limit the title in the feed to 70 characters? 

 

Thanks for you help.

@@lupole, I'm having the same issue on v2.3.4 bootstrap. How did you solve it please?

Updated code from line 337 in /catalog/admin/feedmachine.php...

Hi Everyone

 

We're using Feedmachine but some products have colour and size options to them which we would like to include in the feed.

 

According to Google we need to have an item_group_id field as well as [colour] and  fields.

 

Doe anyone know how I can get feedmachine to look at the product attributes and display a different line for each option?

 

Many thanks

anyone seen this error:

when i have one sinlge config.php file in fm-feed-configs, it all runs ok

when i have 2 or more, i just get a blank screen when clicking on feedmachine (i.e feedmachine_admin.php is creating a blank web page)

ideas ?

i'm running PHP 5.4

we tried to work the last modified feedmachine to let it work with php 7 but we only get The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later and in the logs Error on sending request(GET /admin/feedmachine_auto.php?force_update=1 HTTP/2.0); uri(/admin/feedmachine_auto.php?force_update=1) content-length(0): ReceiveAckHdr: nothing to read from backend (LVE ID 1201), check http://docs.cloudlinux.com/mod_lsapi_troubleshooting.html
