The way of life, and the way we work for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Google copies your images to their servers. If the image exists at the location you have given but Google doesn't have it in their cache, then there is something preventing googlebot from retrieving the images. Check your robots.txt to see that you haven't blocked access to your images directory. Also, if you have referrer rules (or other tactics to prevent image theft), these can prevent googlebot from getting the images.

Is there any way of getting Froogle to reindex it? I have just ran froogle.php again, but is that enough? RojanUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 That should be enough. I'm not certain how often Google sends the bot out to fetch images. It might take a while for that to happen.

emsthings Posted May 7, 2005 Share Posted May 7, 2005 I am tring to use the FroogleDataFeeder_v161 mod but the order of the output file is wrong. I can't seem figure out how to change it. When it outputs the files it puts them in product_url name description price image_url category but is needs to be in. product_url name description image_url category price I can't seem to find the code to switch around. Anyhelp would greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it hasn't that shows up as an error, even though the upload of your products was succesful. Took a while with me to get my feed approved after all products were uploaded.

RojanUK Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Still no pictures for me in my feed, except for two products. My stats show that the googlebot hasn't visited my site at all this month. And what's even worse, Google still hasn't answered my email. I know they are slow, but this is ridiculous. :'( RojanUK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darkvader Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Hi, I hope someone can help me, I had installed this contirbution about a month ago and actually succesfully upload a file onto my Froogle account, but for some reason Froogle status on my account always say Error on feed. I had double check everything and open the text file several times to check is their is something wrong; but I don't see anything wrong. Somone told me that some caracthers on the feed maybe illigal caracthers but I had not yet found on the Froogle website a list of none legal Character to compare. Please help Thanks in advance. :thumbsup: Still no pictures for me in my feed, except for two products. My stats show that the googlebot hasn't visited my site at all this month.

darkvader Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Well it had been almost 4 month now and not approval had happen. I had not receive an email about it. The file still show as error on Froogle What the heck is happening?

FlyingMonkey Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 The order of the Feed should be fine. It's been in this order, since the original Froogle Data Feeder. Froogle/Google is notorious for their slow responses. Patience is virtue. Pictures may not show up if you have spaces or odd characters in your image names. I have a beta ready for testing that includes feature request and may resolve a few of the issues people are experiencing. Please PM me if your interested. Most likely your question has been answered, please do a search first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartynMoore Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Hi Guys Anyone able to give me a hand with this? Everything installed OK, permissons as far as I'm concerned are set up correctly. When I try to test it but going to the froogle.php it comes back with: Error when connecting itself to the data base I have checked the DB name, User Name & password but alas still not working. Have I missed something silly. Is there meant to be a file route to the database? Regards Martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 12, 2005 Share Posted May 12, 2005 Well it had been almost 4 month now and not approval had happen. I had not receive an email about it. The file still show as error on Froogle What the heck is happening? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> 4 months is rather a long time... I've got mine going and approved, and it took about a week from the first feed to approval. I did upload a new feed every day during that period. I suggest contacting Google using the Froogle on-line form - then reply to the email you receive from them (that one's automated) - be prepared to wait for up to a fortnight for a personal response however. Now I'm waiting for my UK feed's approval... (4 days so far, should be soon.....) Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Great contribution. I had some difficulty with the path names at first, believe I have those fixed, but, I am still getting the following error: Warning: getimagesize(): Read error! in /home/sweetd73/public_html/catalog/admin/includes/classes/feed.php on line 185 The funny thing is, it created the file and even uploaded to froogle, with the same error, seams to have worked otherwise. I do have the resize images turned off. here is the code for feed.php around line 185 function checkimage ($imagename) { if (!is_dir($this->feedimagepath)) { @mkdir($this->feedimagepath,0777); @chmod($this->feedimagepath,0777); } $image = $this->imagepath . $imagename; $newimage = $this->feedimagepath . $imagename; $size = getimagesize($image); $width = $size[0]; $height = $size[1]; $type = $size[2]; switch ($type) { case 1: Thank you for your help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥kymation Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I suggest that you start over with a fresh copy of the file. Edit it with a text editor and upload via FTP. Don't use any type of on-line editor, as many of these will strip out the slashes. Regards Jim See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.

PopTheTop Posted May 17, 2005 Share Posted May 17, 2005 I just noticed something when I did a search for a particular product and noticed that the price was incorrect. If you go to http://www.google.com/froogle?q=Van-Pan&btnG=Search+Froogle you will see my product listed at the very top for $149.95. That is the catalog price, but it is on Special for $139.95 so it needs to list the Special price, not the catalog price. How can i change this to display the Special price if it has one and the catalog price if not?
