Automatically send data feed to Froogle

Does anyone have any suggestions for the next step in debugging or fixing this?

Try uploading the feed using an ftp program and connecting to uploads.google.com. If it uploads but doesn't show up, you are most likely using the wrong google account.

Looking at installing v3 of this contribution. Looking over the master settings in googlefeeder.php, I see the line:

 

define('SEO_ENABLED','true');    //Change to 'false' to disable if Ultimate SEO URLs is not installed

 

Due to the fact that I am on an IIS platform, I was unable to install the Jack_MCS Ultimate SEO URLs, so instead installed FWR's Ultimate SEO URLs Pro 5 (which actually then needed a little tweak worked up by Jack_MCS and the guy at Club osC to work quite nicely with Jack_MCS Header Tags SEO). So, just wanted to make sure I have my nomenclature - and my understanding - straight. Does the setting need to be set:

1.) 'true' if the Jack_MCS Ultimate SEO URLs is installed only, inferring then that the FWR contrib is not supported/compatible; or

2.) 'true' if either SEO URL contrib is installed, inferring that both/either is compatible; or

3.) 'false' if you have do not have the Jack_MCS SEO URl contrib installed, inferring that other contrib's may be compatible, or

4.) 'false' if you have do not have the Jack_MCS SEO URl contrib installed, inferring that any other SEO URL contrib's may NOT be compatible, or

5.) some other scenario that perhaps I'm not grasping?

 

Thanks for any assistance! (ok, sometimes I over-analyze things! ...just need to know if this will work with the FWR seo urls, and if so, what should the SEO_Enabled setting be?)

No idea. You'll have to try it.

Hi Jack,

 

Google seems to be picking on me !! first I got warnings regarding my Vat / Non vat items - which I managed to fix, but now I have lost my place on Google shopping, it seems for lack of shipping information.

 

I have set up table rates on Google based on weight, but it seems google is looking for a shipping_weight in the feed - at the moment googlebase sends the data as weight.

 

What is the best way to set up or change the feed to provide the weight as shipping_weight?

 

Many Thanks

Now running on a fully modded, Mobile Friendly 2.3.4 Store with the Excellent MTS installed - See my profile for the mods installed ..... So much thanks for all the help given along the way by forum members.

Be sure the weight option and type are setup correctly and then change this line
  if(OPTIONS_ENABLED_WEIGHT == 1)		   $output .= "\tweight";

to

  if(OPTIONS_ENABLED_WEIGHT == 1)		   $output .= "\tshipping_weight";

Did an update and when I clicked on create and upload google feed, I get this:

 

Fatal error: Call to a member function add_current_page() on a non-object in .../includes/application_top.php on line 312

 

This has not happened before updating.

 

And also after the update, in Administrator panel, when I click on 'Check for updates' and it shows 'There is 1 update available' but I have doubled checked all the files I uploaded. I did log out and log in, it is the same.

A new version has been uploaded with these changes:

 

- Moved the FTP_ENABLED line out of the settings section since it is no longer a setting.

- Added code to display items with quantity and price of 0.

- Added a link to view the file in csv format, which makes viewing it in admin better.

- Fixed code that was showing products and prices of 0 for products with a status of 0.

- Replaced missing catID code that was deleted by mistake in a previous version.

Fixed it by changing the value in feeder.php in Language folder.

 

As for the error, it is working ok now!

 

I tested it using other browser and it worked fine. I think it has to do with website cookies in my regular browser, so I may have to clear the cookies and cache the next time I update.

 

Keep up your excellent work. :)

That worked a treat - all live on Google again

The error isn't fixed. It is a problem with the basic oscommerce code and will return. See here for the fix.

They are saying the links in your feed don't work. You need to open your feed file, copy one of the url's, or use one they supply, and try using that to get to your site.

Disapproved or invalid The URL specified in your data feed wasn't working correctly when we reviewed this item. But I can't find the link issue, I can access from the link.

I only offer general help here. You're problem would probably require looking at the feed so I can't help you othe than what has been stated in this thread. Edited by Jack_mcs

Can you tell me how to remove quotes from the title, category and description?

More or less I need to remove all quotes from the feed. Thanks!

There's already code in place to do that. I don't know what it could be if it isn't working.

Jack, in the file googlefeeder.php, just making sure the space is fine in google product_category, and no underscore is needed

 

if(OPTIONS_ENABLED_GOOGLE_PRODUCT_CATEGORY == 1) $output .= "\tgoogle product_category";

I never noticed that before. It is supposed to be google product category but it has never caused aproblem so my guess is googles parser can handle it.

I added this to the cleaner array: '"' => '',

$_cleaner_array = array(">" => "> ", "®" => "", "®" => "", "™" => "", "™" => "", "\t" => "", " " => "", " " => "", '"' => '',);

and it worked
