I Need Help With Googlebase

[Rebellion1986]

How do i sync the contents of my website to googlebase? I am confused on how to do this. I need to make a data-feed from my website to google and ive downloaded the apparent contribution although once installed i'm still having problems. Do I need additional contributions or scripting to do?

 

The contribution i have installed:-

 

http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/4513

 

I want a user to search for one of my products and that product should display on google's shopping search above the search results. Once the URL has been clicked it should directly take the user to my website.

 

I get the following error:-

 

Outcome: Data feed upload failure

Number of inserted items: 0

Kind Regards, I hope this can be resolved soon.

You don't give the reason the upload failed which is available on your google account.

 

Have you followed every installation step and not missed out any that you don't understand/know how to do?

I presume i have done all of the neccessary changes. Do i have to also install ultimate seo urls? here is what modifications i made.

 

// ########## BEGIN CONFIGURATION ###################

define('SEO_ENABLED','true');

$curType = "GBP";

//END Optional Advance Configuration

$optional_sec = 1;

$default_currency = "GBP"; //this is not binary.

 

$model_number = 1;

 

$feed_quantity = 1;

 

$brand = 1; // 31 jan 2007 Added condition due to Google Base making mandatory

 

$condition = 1; // 31 jan 2007 Added condition due to Google Base making mandatory

$age_range = 1; // 31 jan 2007 Added condition due to Google Base making mandatory

// CHANGEME - Change this to Age Range who could bioew your feeds - 30-60 or so

$feed_manufacturer_id = 0; //this is for the manufacturer model number, NOT your internal store sku

// END Optional Advance Feed Attributes

 

// ########## END CONFIGURATION ###################

 

 

 

also i added the following to htaccess file:-

 

RewriteBase /

# Begin Google Base File Rewrite Code

RewriteRule data_feed.txt googlebase.php

# End Google Base File Rewrite Code

You don't give the reason the upload failed

 

Any chance of getting the reason google ddn't import you data

 

On the same page as the error message it tells you why.

 

What happens when you enter

 

www.your_site.com/data_feed.txt

 

in your browser?

and the answer to the second question is?

 

Warning: include_once(includes/classes/seo.class.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in html/googlebase.php on line 104

 

Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening 'includes/classes/seo.class.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php') in html/googlebase.php on line 104

 

Fatal error: Class 'SEO_URL' not found in html/googlebase.php on line 105

 

This is because i don't have a file named data_feed.txt. Would i have to create a blank file named data_feed.txt?? there were no instructions on this, i thought the htaccess file gathered the information automatically.

I am not familiar wit this contribution. But from the error I see that you should have the ultimate seo urls installed.

 

This is because i don't have a file named data_feed.txt. Would i have to create a blank file named data_feed.txt?? there were no instructions on this, i thought the htaccess file gathered the information automatically.

 

The reply is in the README.html :

Note: When you access file http://www.yourwebsite.com/your-outfile.txt, there is no file named your-outfile.txt in the root directory, We use .htaccess to redirect this request to googlebase.php. so your-outfile.txt is not a static file, its content will auto generate by googlebase.php. when google base uploads this, The file will always be up-to-date.

 

After correcting this problems

try to point your browser to http://www.yourwebsite.com/your-outfile.txt

 

the encoding should be correct , the product urls should be valid, the product description not short

Sample here

Your rewrite rule

 

RewriteRule data_feed.txt googlebase.php

 

changes the url from www.your_site.com/data_feed.txt to www.your_site.com/googlebase.php

 

The error message below is saying that file is not there

 

Warning: include_once(includes/classes/seo.class.php) [function.include-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in html/googlebase.php on line 104

 

Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening 'includes/classes/seo.class.php' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php') in html/googlebase.php on line 104

 

Fatal error: Class 'SEO_URL' not found in html/googlebase.php on line 105

 

Your config is also set to say seo is installed and it is not.

 

I'd go back and reinstall the contribution, read the installation/readme file very carefully and make sure you carry out each step.
