FlyingMonkey Posted September 13, 2004 Share Posted September 13, 2004 No, by default the Froogle Data Feeder does not support different descriptions from osC. Quote Most likely your question has been answered, please do a search first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrguytx Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 Quick question for everyone: Do your images load on Froogle if their filenames have a space in them? (e.g. "atkins bar.jpg" or "low carb chocolate.gif") mrguytx reported problems and a fix was released for him, but i'd just like to check if this was happening to everyone. if it is, i'll release the fix into the public release. an easy way to check is to visit: www.froogle.com and type in store:yourstorename Froogle notified me that this will occur whenever there is a space in the filename. Froogle requires the %20 to take the place of the space for it to pick up the name correctly. Quote ____________________________________ every day above ground is a good day.

clarocque Posted September 14, 2004 Share Posted September 14, 2004 OK I am still looking to see if anyone else has posted this but figured I would post as I read.  Froogle kicked back one of my clients feeds and said the images does not match. I have additional images contribution so I have to modify the feed so it will check to see if products.products_image_med is not null.  If it used then I need to export that image name if not then I need to use products.products_image  And how about no image? Has anyone had a froogle problem if no image was installed?  OK any help on the code would be greatly appreciated.

Guest Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Hi guys, I was finally able to get the feed accepted by froogle a while back. However, I have noticed that for some reason my descriptions are not being used in the feed that is created. for some reason the name is the correct title but the description rather than being my osc description is just the title used over again. Any ideas whay this is anyone? Trying to optimize my feeds and this is cutting out the bulk of my keyword related text. I am using the old version still 1.10 i think it is. never got around to installing the beta 1.4 calvin gave me at the time i had problems with the feed being accepted. I was wonering if the new version fixes this problem. Thanks all. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 (edited) Shane, Â I believe froogle has changed something related to the description column. My guess is the size. On their site, it says 64kb worth of description. Email froogle and ask them or check your feed locally and see if your descriptions are showing up correctly. If not, check your code...

Guest Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 I dont think that it is anything on froogles end. I have looked at the txt file the contrib outputs then uploads and the descriptions are not being grabbed by the contrib for some reason, it is just the duplicate title. I don't have the faintest idea where to start to find the problem. I did not notice anything in the froogle.php file and the only things i changes were the ftp and db names. Any ideas?

Guest Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 just found something, anyone think this could be the problem- Â $productURL = 'http://www.healthylifepharmacy.com/product_info.php?products_id='; Â My urls for the product info pages look like this: Â http://www.healthylifepharmacy.com/product...roducts_id/1611 Â Though everything is correct with the exception of the descriptions could the actual product urls having the /cPath/cat_subcat numbers cause the problem i am having?

clarocque Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 OK I almost have it except.... Â I changed the code to say: if (tep_not_null($row->image_url_med)) { use medium image }else{ use normal image... Â works fine excpet if I remove the image it still uses that med image (so it reads .../images/ no filename (as there is no longer one)) Â even though all the other images are using product_image fine if they never had a med image. Â Almost seems like after I remove the image it is not really empty (null). If look in DB it is empty? Â Any thoughts? Quote osC Contributions I have published.

clarocque Posted September 16, 2004 Share Posted September 16, 2004 Here is unlink code if it help: Â if (($HTTP_POST_VARS['unlink_image_med'] == 'yes') or ($HTTP_POST_VARS['delete_image_med'] == 'yes')) { Â Â Â Â Â Â $sql_data_array['products_image_med'] = ''; Â Â Â Â Â } else { Â Â Â Â Â if (isset($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_image_med']) && tep_not_null($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_image_med']) && ($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_image_med'] != 'none')) { Â Â Â Â Â Â $sql_data_array['products_image_med'] = tep_db_prepare_input($HTTP_POST_VARS['products_image_med']); Â Â Â Â Â } Â Â Â Â Â } Quote osC Contributions I have published.

Guest Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 (edited) it needs to be: ../temp/mghwor.txt  if you use /temp then the server is expecting you to have access to a directory named /temp and you most likely can not go back that far  reason for the ../ is from admin you are going up one level, thus the ../ and then going down one level to temp, so overall ../temp Edited September 17, 2004 by Mibble Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatDadRick Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 $OutFile = "/temp/mghwor.txt"; //"CHANGEME-full-path-to-file-with-777-dir-and-file-permissions.fr-outfile.txt"; Â You need to make sure the above line is the FULL PATH to the feeds directory and the feeds directory is world writable.

Guest Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 you dont want to do it every day, unless you are changing products daily. perhaps every 4 or even 7 is sufficient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
