Hi there,

 

This looks like just the thing Ive been after to get some googlebase feeds up and onto froogle. Any chance of some install instructions please? @D

Hi,

 

You do not really need any install instructions for this file, open the file and read the comments that the author has put in there.

 

I only have one issue with it, for some reason no matter what save location I use it throughs back an error:

 

The SAVE_LOCATION directory: feeds/ does not exist in /home/mobiacc/public_html/. Please create this directory or change the path to an existing directory

 

I have set the permissions of this folder to 777 and still nothing :blink:

 

I hope the author is going to support his work as I have been after a decent kelkoo feed for ages.

 

Thanks

I had the same problem as you Mark with that error, Have you created a feeds directory and set a chmod to 777 on it?

 

My error is now the following

"Fatal error: Call to undefined function: mysqli_num_fields() in /home/specialt/public_html/thermaltech/shop/admin/feedmachine-release-v1-00.php on line 392"

 

I assume that I call this script directly and not through the admin side of OSC?

Hi Mark,

 

Ok the only way I could get around the error was to comment out this line

 

//chdir('..');

 

I now get the same error as you, it looks like there is a function missing that needs adding. I will pm this thread to the author and see if he can shed any light on our problem.

Apologies: I reconfigured osc to use the mysqli functions instead of the mysql functions. The mysqli_num_fields() was hardcoded into the script because it was not available as a wrapper function.

 

The solution is simple: change every instance "mysqli" to "mysql". There are only two:

 

mysqli_num_fields -> mysql_num_fields

mysqli_fetch_field -> mysql_fetch_field

 

Regarding the other problems: ensure that the save location is the path relative to your catalog directory (not admin directory). If you still have problems, find "$save_path" in the script and set it manually to the full path of your feeds directory.

 

Also make sure this script itself is put in your admin directory not the main catalog directory. The reason for this is to prevent just anyone from being able to run this script.

Hi Lech,

 

Thank you for the support!

 

It works like a charm now, now to test it against the new googlebase setup for froogle.

 

Thanks

Yeah that would probably be for the best otherwise this is going to get messy:
