Happy July 4th everyone

 

ok well I can answer the SEO url difficulties kinda....

 

what has worked for me and has given froogle the correct URL

 

is

 

putting in your feed file under the product url config line

 

http://www.your-site-name.com/catalog/prod...hp?products_id=

then the froogle feed contrib will add a product number after the =

whenever it generates the .txt file.... lol i dont know if anyone posted this... i have looked over all 59 pages of this post and have not seen any posts regarding that... so here it is...

 

if anyone has any questions or it dosent work for you for some reason let me know... it has worked for me although..

 

Anyone ever come up with an answer to the error

 

Warning: getimagesize(): Read error! in /customers/adweb322361/ftp/www.mrdeliveryman.com/public_html/catalog/admin/includes/classes/feed.php on line 185

I am trying to figure out what you mean by "putting in your feed file under the product url config line"

 

I believe your talking about editing the froogle.php so the first part of the code looks like this:

 

$imageURL = 'http://www.mysite.com/catalog/images/';

$productURL = 'http://www.mysite.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=';

$OutFile = "../feeds/frooglefeed.txt"; //"CHANGEME-full-path-to-file-with-777-dir-and-file-permissions.fr-outfile.txt";

$destination_file = "frooglefeed.txt"; //"CHANGEME-filename-to-upload-to-froogle.txt" ;

$source_file = $OutFile;

$already_sent = array();

 

 

Is this correct? I still get the "stock" osCommerce URL's in my .txt file.

[Paulie]

Good to know.  I never got around to posting yesterday that the errors you describe were on your server's end...but I'm happy the issue is resolved. :)

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Actually, I am having the same problem again. :( My site went down again and when it came back up, the problems started all over. Here once again is the error that I receive:

 

File completed: xxxx.txt

Connected to hedwig.google.com, for user xxxx

 

Warning: ftp_put(): php_connect_nonb() failed: Connection timed out (110) in /home/xxxx/public_html/admin/froogle.php on line 343

 

Warning: ftp_put(): Entering Passive Mode (216,239,45,39,79,227) in /home/xxxx/public_html/admin/froogle.php on line 343

hedwig.google.com: FTP upload has failed!

 

Script timer: 46.170156 seconds.

 

Can anyone think of a reason why the FTP upload has failed? Is this really an issue with my server? If so, what could it be? I had them increase the PHP timeout settings but that didn't seem to help. I should also mention that the one time I did get this to work, the script timer only reported 2 seconds. So it's not that the file is loaded with too many products or anything, there's only about 800. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Paul

I have a strange problem, I have been using this contrib know for several months without any problems, but suddenly some desriptions are in dutch and also the category names are partly, yes you read it correct partly, in dutch.

 

so for example the category name is now like this on the text file:

Gold Jewelry> Armbanden, instead of : Gold Jewelry> Bracelets

 

Can somebody, please help me to figure this out

I got froogle data feed to work on one of my stores but I am having problems with a different one.. and I didn't know how to search for the answer.

 

I have a store where the database name are like

peacem_products instead of products

etc.....

 

and I don't understand enoght of the calling the databate table to change it in the froogle.php

WHERE products.products_id=products_description.products_id

AND products.products_id=products_to_categories.products_id

AND products_to_categories.categories_id=categories.categories_id

FROM

categories,

WHERE categories.categories_id = categories_description.categories_id

 

Thank you very much

Is there a way of automatically stripping the 'tab' characters from the product descriptions? Occasionally when loading a new product from the manufacturer's description these characters cause the line to be rejected for obvious reasons by Froogle.

Call it by calling categories

 

peacem_ is just a prefix.

I understand this the categories froogle is trying to call is not categories but peacem_categories. where do I change it.

: SQL error Table 'rainbow_peace.categories' doesn't exist| catInfo = SELECT categories.categories_id AS curCatID, categories.parent_id AS parentCatID, categories_description.categories_name AS catName FROM categories, categories_description WHERE categories.categories_id = categories_description.categories_id

I have a MOD that send me e-mails whenever there is an error on my site or someone tries to hack into the site, like try to get into the Admin.

 

For months now, I have been getting this e-mail when Google visits my site and sometimes MSNBot for various product pages and so on...

As you can see, Google is trying to load pages that the links have converted = signs and question marks.

 

%3F is supposed to be ?

%3D is supposed to be =

 

If I turn

http://www.popthetop.com/catalog/product_info.php%3Fcurrency%3DUSD&products_id%3D324&fr=AM0D2pquQxgKeI9frlt5U5R8v6OCmDEu09vJmtrY-N41AAAAAAAAAAA

The links work.

 

Is there any way to fix this so that the correct pages get loaded? Is there any way to convert %3F to ? and %3D to = when a page loads?

Hello,

 

I have a shop in Germany with the only currency EURO. As I found out in this forum to be able to use Froogle for the USA I have to have EURO AND US-Dollar offered in the currency box, so USA customers can see prices in US-Dollar. Additionally I have to be able to send my products to the USA. The "Google feeder" contri would convert Euros to US-Dollars. Now my questions:

 

. Does "Google feeder" take the exchange rate from "Currencies" in Admin?

. I think there is a contri available for calculating the exchange rate with a cron job in Admin, right?

. Would it be possible to show customers also Dollar prices, by klicking the Dollar currency box, but they HAVE TO pay in Euros? I ask this because I would not like to get paid in Dollars because when I put Dollars onto my Euro account I'd have to pay exchange fees.

. Is "Google feeder" with the tax and currency conversion functions and handling correctly prices above 999 (there was once a bug) also available for my Oscommerce version which is from January 2003?

 

A lot of questions, but I am still in hope that there is someone who can help me.

 

Thanks in advance for your answer.

 

Albert

[Guest]

i believe it would take the exchange rate at the time it is viewed, there is no way it can pull your euro value

[albert]

Whats about the third question? Probably its not allowed that customers see Dollar-prices but they HAVE TO pay in Euros.

Hi

 

Does anybody have an idea if this contribution is can be set to work properly with SEO Urls ?

No answer at least to my fourth question?

 

Albert

[Paulie]

Would anyone know why only 1% of the time my data feed (set up through a cron job) will successfully send the file to froogle, while 99% of the time I receive a message saying "FTP upload has failed!"? Any ideas what would cause it to work and then not work, or how it can be resolved?

 

Thanks,

Paul

you will need to check your log files, sounds like the server is timing out

Hi I am attempting to install this contribution, I have sucessfully instaled several, and yet I am about to ask a very basic newbie question. Try not to fall off your chairs laughing. in the feed script very first Line it reads

$OutFile = "<route to your unix directory>/sweetdeal4u_biz.txt"

What do you mean by rout to unix directory? I have a rout to perl, I have a rout to send mail, I have a rout to many things, and yet I do not know what a route to unix is... I am feeling very stupid at this time, so please be gentle.

Thank you,

Figster  :'(

Would the path look like this?

home/sweetd73/public_html/catalog/feeds/sweetdeal4u_biz.txt

 

Thanks for your help in advance.

Yes, that's correct. You'll want to start with a / though

 

By the way, I didn't laugh. Only giggled.

Just kidding.

I'm installing this script on an osc store for a client. Install went fine, except now when running the froogle.php file, it says the file is completed, but when I click on the link, I get a 403 Forbidden error. I've checked permissions on the server in the cPanel, as well as disabled hotlink protection, but still having this problem.

 

Additionally, when I manually download the outfile.txt, it is blank.

 

(By the way, I have this script installed on 3 other servers with no issues.)

 

Url to outfile is:

Froogle Outfile

 

/me calls..."CCCCCCalvinnnnnnn" :D

Hello, thanks for the contribution. I think that I am very, very close to getting it working. I have followed the instructions and uploaded froogle.php, created a data feed, uploaded the feed to froogle. However...

I have 630 products, and the feed created 610 of them correctly. (Froogle page says its a bad data feed because of 20 errors) 20 of the products, for some reason, are missing the product name and product description.

 

Since it was only 20 products I figured brute force and ignorance can solve the problem, just delete the bad 20 and re-enter them. I tried this with 2 products, but the datafeed is not updating for the new products. I tried fixing the bad products, deleting and re-entering the bad products, then just enterting a totally new test product not associated at all with any of the bad products. The data feed does not reflect any changes, or new products. I can delete products, but not change existing products or add ones.

 

I am not sure what to try, since it works (worked) for 610 of 630 products I am doing something correct, but possibly missing something. Any help would be appreciated. I can post any code anyone wants to look at, I triple checked it, so I think it is correct. I am one small step above a newbie, just a cut and paster in regards to code, so I can screw up code a whole lot easier than I can fix it. I have modified the OS Commerce, the only contribution that I can think of that would affect this is that I have small product images in the 'regular' images folder in OSCommerce, and I put larger images into a folder called large. It is not really a contribution, it is a line or two of code added so some file (I can't remember which file.)

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Usually those people drive slow in the passing lane...

 

Actually, I think the quote goes, There are no stupid questions except the ones never asked.
