♥stubbsy Posted April 14, 2010 Share Posted April 14, 2010 Hi there, Love the contribution, had this working for quite some time until I installed the latest update of SEO urls (or what was the latest FWR's update earlier this year http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/2823) and i didn't realise for quite a while but it has broken this contribution, the output file is just blank. Here is the output of my file now <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=windows-1252" http-equiv=Content-Type></HEAD> <BODY></BODY></HTML> Has anyone else had the same problem and maybe come across a solution? Thanks Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥geoffreywalton Posted April 14, 2010 Author Share Posted April 14, 2010 I'm using ultimate seo urls and header tags define('SEO_ENABLED','true'); if I set it to true googlebase.php gives this error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function tep_not_null() in /home/n8tdbsl6/public_html/includes/classes/seo.class.php on line 1106 When i set it to false i get for every product I get something like this: I've manually updated it to google base and received an email: any idea how to have it fixed? I would say you have commas in your descriptions and google is thinking those are the field separators. Check what you have set in google_base.php and change the settings in google from auto detect to what you are actually using. As for the seo, see my previous posts. I suspect someone has made changes to reflect their requirements and uploaded that in one of their updates, but I could be wrong (and often am) G Quote Need help installing add ons/contributions, cleaning a hacked site or a bespoke development, check my profile Virus Threat Scanner My Contributions Basic install answers.

-=LRK=- Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I was really excited when I saw a simple, one file install. Oh well, nothing is easy. I am getting the error: Fatal error: Call to undefined function tep_href_link() in ..\googlebase.php on line 343 Which is refering to line: $output .= tep_href_link($productURL,$productParam . $row->id) . $Separator; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bowen Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 As i couldnt get this working despite my efforts i have now resorted to 'the feed machine solution v5.3' its a little more involved in setup that this single file install, but at least it works and my products are not listed in google products. you can also config for other feeds as well.

kotaro Posted July 7, 2010 Share Posted July 7, 2010 yes thanks i got the link , but please one question is can i do manual upload because i can not find the gamaitFeed.txt file in my root directory - where can i find the gamaitFeed.txt file? also in this addon it seem that no mention of the FTP login details for google marchent center ftp upload for the data feed I do not think you will find that file in your root directory because it is built when you go to that page by your googlebase.php file. If you want to upload the file manually, go to that URL in Firefox, copy the whole text, paste it into TextPad or notepad or whatever, and save it. Then go to your Google Merchant Center, click Data Feeds on the left and click manual upload and find that file you just saved.

♥mdtaylorlrim Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 All of mine so far have been tab delimited as well. Funny thing, about a month an a half ago one feed quite working after 9 months or so of working just fine. Never did fix it. Had to delete it and start over with a different name.
