Automatically send data feed to Froogle

[millinks 0]

:D Problem solved! I had a space I didn't see between the quote mark and first forward slash (" /) in the $OutFile = line. Once I took that space out the error messages went away. :D

[eww 1]

i just downloaded version 1.62 dated 12/21/05 and the seo url tips calvin posted a few months back are nonexistent in the new version.

 

has anyone been able to get the froogle output to work with urls like mysite.com/product/Product_Name.html ?

 

or does anyone have an idea how to do it?

 

 

anyone know how to do this?

Based on this line:

it sounds like you have a configuration set wrong in the admin/froogle.php file.

Hello, thanks for your reply!

It seems to me it looks like a PHP configuration or something, cause when I add on the beginning of the code

$FunctionName = "";

 

It generates just the SQL error...

 

It seems that it's not finding the variable...

 

Thanks

[jonbucs 0]

First of all, I want to thank FlyingMonkey and everyone else that has contributed to this contribution. I found the Bizrate contribution as well which was based upon this one. However, Bizrate now uses numbers for their categories. I would like to map my categories to the bizrate categories. I was thinking of creating a mapping table that would do this. Has anyone done this? I do not want to re-invent the wheel if someone already did this. Also, if someone could tell me what I would need to modify in the code to perform the lookup that would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Some time ago there were some references to adding some functionality to make the Froogle Feed compatible with large product databases. I may have just missed it but I haven't found anything since about that being added to any of the existing versions. Is that out there somewhere?

 

I have over 40,000 products and have tried several versions of this contribution but none seem to work for me. I don't get any error messages though so I'm not certain that the problem is the number of products. I just suspect that it is.

 

When I run the routine to generate the feed the browser just runs for a while (5-10 minutes) and then stops. No new page is displayed. It just says "Done" at the bottom of the browser window the same as it does after correctly loading any regular web page. No file is ever generated though.

 

Is this due to the number of products? If so, is there a fix available? If not, does anyone know what else could be causing the problem?

 

Thanks,

Dan

The functionality for large stores was added to the code some time ago, so I don't think that's actually your problem. Also, 40,000 products should write out in a few seconds, definitely under a minute, on a decent server. If it's taking 5-10, something else is wrong.

 

Since it's not writing the file, I assume you actually have a permissions problem, and that the webserver can't write to the folder that your trying to save the file to. Normally you get error messages when this happens though, but those might be suppressed. If it isn't a permissions or configuration issue (such as trying to write to an invalid folder) than I don't have many ideas.

I just received this message from Google Base:

Hi everyone, Thanks for a great contribution.... I'm just having a small problem getting it going....

 

I've had a good look through this post, but can't easily see the fix to my problem even though there have been similar posts.

 

I've made the changes in the install instructions, but when I run froogle.php I get the following SQL error;

 

: SQL error Unknown column 'products.manufacturers_id' in 'on clause'| sql = SELECT concat( 'http://www.yumyumtummyrumble.co.uk/product_info.php?products_id=' ,products.products_id) AS product_url, products_model AS prodModel, products_weight, manufacturers.manufacturers_name AS mfgName, manufacturers.manufacturers_id, products.products_id AS id, products_description.products_name AS name, products_description.products_description AS description, products.products_quantity AS quantity, products.products_status AS prodStatus, FORMAT( IFNULL(specials.specials_new_products_price, products.products_price) * 1,2) AS price, CONCAT( 'http://www.yumyumtummyrumble.co.uk/images/' ,products.products_image) AS image_url, products_to_categories.categories_id AS prodCatID, categories.parent_id AS catParentID, categories_description.categories_name AS catName FROM categories, categories_description, products, products_description, products_to_categories left join manufacturers on ( manufacturers.manufacturers_id = products.manufacturers_id ) left join specials on ( specials.products_id = products.products_id AND ( ( (specials.expires_date > CURRENT_DATE) OR (specials.expires_date = 0) ) AND ( specials.status = 1 ) ) ) WHERE products.products_id=products_description.products_id AND products.products_id=products_to_categories.products_id AND products_to_categories.categories_id=categories.categories_id AND categories.categories_id=categories_description.categories_id ORDER BY products.products_id ASC

 

Any help would be gratefully recieved :D

 

BTW, I'm running osCommerce 2.2 Milestone 2 Update 051113

The special prices arnt included in the feed? Is it okay to change them manually and then upload it?

 

Or is there another conribution that includes the special prices?

Special prices are automatically included into the feed. However, if the special prices were set with a contribution and not via the default osC way, then you may have an issue.

 

But you can always change the prices in your feed (with a text editor or excel), then upload the file to Froogle.

nope, not to bizrate.... it would be custom for every store. it sounds like a tedious process.

It appears that you do not have the SEO contribution installed. You should either install the SEO contribution or disable the SEO functionality in the Froogle Data Feeder.

Thanks monkey, however I have made my specials through the standard oscommerce way and it isnt exporting the prices. What could I have done wrong? Have I maybe missed something in the configuration or when installing? If its any help I'm using the very latest version. Maybe I should try reinstalling an earlier version? Can someone confirm a version they are using that is able to export specials prices?

 

Thanks

[Caios 0]

I have just thought maybe my problem with the special prices is that I did enter the products using osCommerce Product Manager for Windows (oscpmwin) 0.1.2 (build 436) ( Great app by the way http://www.mariovaldez.net/software/oscpmwin/index.php?c=9)

 

Do you think that create special prices in a none compatible way? I will try opening and resaving the specials through the oscommerce admin and hope that sorts it.

[Caios 0]

Solved it! The reason it wasnt exporting the special price was to do with them being created through the above software. The only issue I could see was that it had problems when a special was created and modified at the same time maybe?

 

Its sorted now by opening the specail in oscommerce admin and hiting update.
