Google Base - New Attributes Requirement for Data Feeds


ezfindit

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

 

I have been using the Froogle data feed for a long time to send data to Google Base. The http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,3876 Froogle contribution worked great.

 

Yesterday I received this email from the Google Base Team informing me that my bulk load data files will no longer be accepted unless I include five additional attributes. Here's an excerpt from the email:

 

"That's why we're asking all Froogle merchants to send us bulk uploads in the Google Base format, with five additional attributes (along with the basic ones you've submitted in the past). Because we think it's important to provide a consistent user experience, we will no longer list items that don't meet a minimal number of attributes by the end of February 2007. Please review the following bulk uploads - they do not currently meet the minimum attribute requirement."

 

"You can review this attribute requirement page to learn about these new guidelines for general product attributes and specific attributes per product type. You can also learn how to submit your feed using Google Base here. We recommend that you include as many attributes as possible; the more information you provide, the better chance you'll have of matching users' "refinement" queries."

 

 

Do any of the existing Google Base feeds contributions meet the additional attributes requirements that Google Base wants? I was considering using the http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,4513 contribution. Will it be sufficient for the Google Base folks?

 

Has anyone else encountered this issue? What does the community recommend I should do?

 

Thanks!

Chris

I have been using the Froogle/Google Base, Yahoo, and Bizrate Feeds contrib and I am very happy with it, I also borrowed just the bidhopper.php page from another.

 

I also received the email from froogle/google base. I asked them a question and here is some blurbs from their reply:

 

"Thank you for your email. You can leave the "brand" attribute blank if this attribute is not relevant to some of your items. However, I strongly recommend including another attribute from our optional list, or you can just create a custom attribute to describe your items.

 

Finally, if your products don't fall under our predefined categories, you can include your own "product_type". "

 

So, I think what I need to do is have the product_type return my category name. I am by no means a php expert, but I am going to try to tweak my code and see what happens. I'll certainly let you know if I get anything to work.

Well, I got it. This is a basic froogle.php with the following:

* brand

* condition

* description

* expiration_date

* id

* image_link

* link

* price

* product_type

* title

Of course you'll need to change the CHANGE ME's and edit to suit your particular store. I think I did it right since my feed is working correctly.

 

Hope this helps someone out there. :)

Yes, this does help, not only me but others also. Thank you! :thumbsup:

 

Quick question, will this work with the SEO contribution installed? :blush: Just making sure.

 

Thanks again!

 

I am sorry I dont really know if what I posted will work with the seo contribution since I dont use that particular contrib.

 

The following code was submited by babymand as an update to the Google Base / Froogle Data Feeder v1.00 contrib. This code has information for the seo contribution, perhaps you could edit this file to work for you.

Just one note: This code will send products with a quantity of 0 if you still have it marked as active. This should not generate an error with google base unless you chose google checkout as a payment method. You must have a quantity of at least 1 for google checkout. The feed will still go through and all your products with a quantity of 1 will still be approved, but you will see an error on your upload page for each product with a quantity of 0.

Just one note: This code will send products with a quantity of 0 if you still have it marked as active. This should not generate an error with google base unless you chose google checkout as a payment method. You must have a quantity of at least 1 for google checkout. The feed will still go through and all your products with a quantity of 1 will still be approved, but you will see an error on your upload page for each product with a quantity of 0.

 

 

Will this include the "$expiration_date" in the feed to base google?

Rachael,

 

Thanks so much for sharing your changes. :thumbsup: I merged them with my own version of Froogle and it works GREAT! :D

 

There's still an issue I am encountering with the Encoding Option (UTF-8) that I'm puzzled about. If I upload the txt Output file from the Froogle program "as is" I get many "Encoding Errors" from Google.

 

However, if I open the txt Output file in Notepad, Save it as "Text", with Encoding = "UTF-8", and then upload it to Google Base it loads perfectly with no errors.

 

Is there some change needed in the program to avoid having to open the txt Output file and re-saving it with UTF-8 encoding before uploading to Google Base? I have researched this issue all over the forums and the web but have found nothing to help me. B)

 

Thanks again for help, it's much appreciated! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I wish I could help on the encoding but I have no idea why it would be doing that. Not that it is necessarily a hard problem to solve, only that I have no clue how to solve it :)

 

I'm glad you were able to make the changes successfully.

I used to manually make froogle feeds from another shopping cart system - this involved opening the xml file in excel and combing the data so it was correct for froogle.

I had a simular error on some occasions & it was caused by invalid characters... things like TM symbol or C sometimes even '.

I dont really understand what was happening but maybe by changing the encoding it replaces the unrecognized characters with somthing acceptable.

 

This is only a guess as since moving to OSC and using Automatic Store Feeds v3.0 no matter what text is pasted in it always seems to work ok.

not sure if it is causing a problem yet, but i did notice this contribution outputs a space before the new fields required by google

 

example " new" " Y" etc

New error is now showing up when loading to Google Base:

"This attribute has been deprecated. - label 1 "

and

"This attribute has been deprecated. - shipping 1 "

 

It appears it has to do with how Google is handling Shipping charges. Here's the Google Base Discussion Thread on this issue: http://groups.google.com/group/base-help-b...aac11519bd5dc7e

 

Anyone else having the same problem? How do we fix this? :blush:

Chris
