centrios40 Posted October 19, 2008 Share Posted October 19, 2008 so i've been at this for 2 weeks now here's my problem with each: Google Base Store Connector: Wont' work no matter what, it just wont connect, and there is nothing special about my store. Google Base Data Feed Its my first time uploading the data feed so i thought I would test it out with only ten products. I've uploaded it now 7 times, but it keeps giving me this error "Data feed upload failed. No items are live" and on details in keeps telling me "We recommend including this attribute." (weight, upc, mpn, isbn, condition, brand) it also keeps saying "The item is missing a required attribute." when i know nothing is missing. for the life of me, i can't figure this out. i'v been at this for a 2 weeks now. someone please help me. this is the errors it keeps giving me.... i have no idea how to fix it. http://img507.imageshack.us/img507/5958/googlebaseoz7.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 The error in your file is that the feed is not picking up the product id number. Are you using the Googlefeeder contrib? When you run it, are you typing in...www.yoursite.com/admin/googlefeeder.php? Or, are you doing something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Yes, you have to. It's a required attribute for products listed in Googlebase. Your feeds will be rejected without it. The following are all of the required attributes: description id link price title Click Here for more info on what's required and additional attributes you can use. Life would be much easier if you installed the Googlefeeder contrib. It's a small contrib and will enable you to just type in a URL in your browser, hit enter and be done with it. It generates your feed and uploads it to Googlebase all at once. - Andrea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centrios40 Posted October 20, 2008 Author Share Posted October 20, 2008 ok, thanks for that. iv always known about the google feeder contribution, but scripting has always intimidated me. but i think i managed to install it properly. my only concern now, i went to uploads.google.com and i can't see feed file there? how long does it take it to show?

Guest Posted October 21, 2008 Share Posted October 21, 2008 Go to www.base.google.com Sign in with your user ID and password Your items should be showing if all went well, if not...click on Data Feeds and see what's there. If it's Processing or Rejected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
