pdcelec Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 Hi there! I just installed the Google Feeder contri (GoogleFeeder_V_2.8 EU_1_2) wich can be found here; http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/4513 It seems to have installed just fine, i see the option in my admin, it also creates, saves and uploads a feed to Google. However, this feed does not contain any articles? it only shows: **** link title description price image_link id condition expiration_date payment_accepted mpn product_type tax **** Anybody can help me with this ? Google shows that the file is recieved however 'no articles are inserted' wich isnt suprising since there are no articles in the feed.txt ? Any help is welcome, if more info is needed kindly let me know. many thanks in advance! regards, Rayen As far as I am aware, only products are listed in the feed not articles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gshutzy Posted June 7, 2011 Share Posted June 7, 2011 i am getting warning from google with regards my feed Some of your items do not have valid unique product identifiers.

If you click on the "Learn More" link beside those failures, it will describe the fields you need. There isn't once specific answer to this since the required fields vary with the type of product. Many times, one can get away by enabling the model and brand options in the feed settings.

Perhaps you, or anyone else can help me with a contribution that actually works ? I dont want that much really, just an easy way to create a feed :P thanks in advance, Rayen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'0' : '0')); //set to 0 to disable //define('FTP_ENABLED', '0'); //set to 0 to disable define('CONVERT_CURRENCY', '0'); //set to 0 to disable - only needed if a feed in a difference currecny is required define('CURRENCY_TYPE', 'GBP'); //(eg.

I can only guess that there is an error and your host has error reporting turned off. First, be sure the permissions on the feed directory are set the same as on the images directory. If that isn't the problem, then you can try inserting the following above the first setting error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors','1'); Don't change the ftp enabled setting. The instruction is from a previous version that I forgot to update.

As suggested i installed your version (GoogleFeeder_V_2.8). However, apart from the option to upload to bing it didnt make a difference unfortunatly. The textfile only contains 6 words; link title description price image_link id Any idea what could cause this? If more info is needed please let me know.

Jack_mcs Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Is there a way to split this, because I switched servers and now I'm having a memory issue No, not without rewriting the code. You could add sleep statements throughout the code. That should work but some servers won't recognize the delay. As I recall, there instructions for doing this (or hints of doing it) in this thread but it would be difficult to find due to the size of the thread.
