Automatically send data feed to Froogle

[Tsuri Japan]

Hey guys I've sort of done everything right but after editing the froogle.php file I'm getting this error.........

 

Warning: mysql_connect(): Access denied for user 'fukuokaf_Nigel '@'localhost' (using password: YES) in /home/fukuokaf/public_html/tsurishopjapan/admin/froogle.php on line 109
Error when connecting itself to the data base

 

I've made the user "fukuokaf Nigel" to have all privilages and has the correct password. What's up and why won't it connect to my SQL?

 

Thanks,

 

Nigel :)

hi,

 

i just uploaded my first feed to froogle, but i get a message saying my feed is incorrect, cause 1 line has "too few tabs". checked the feed but it seems ok. What can i do about this?

[magicsenses]

Hi!

First of all I want to thank you all for the great support!

Second, I had to reinstall OSC from scratch...I renamed the admin folder, I installed SEO contribution and I am trying to install froogle Feeder. I uploaded the feeds/ folder to my root and changed CHMOD to 777(including subfolders and files), modified froogle.php and uploaded in myrenamedadmin/folder.

When I point to http://www.mywebsite.com/myrenamedadmin/froogle.php it takes me to the admin panel. Is it where it should take me?!

When I point to http://www.mywebsite.com/feeds/myfroogle_file.txt the page cannot be displayed. :(

Can anyone have a look over my froogle.php file and help me with this? Am I missing something?

 

Thank you very much for your time and patience!

 

Simone

Tsuri Japan: check your sql info again... are you sure it's localhost?

 

Load-This: it doesn't actually convert the currency, it specifies the currency to use in osC. the conversions should be done by osC provided you have set it up.

Error when connecting itself to the data base

 

We are switching our hosting over from a dedicated server, to a shared server on Godaddy, and seeing as we now have to use numerically incremented files off of the "secureserver.net" I cannot use localhost for accessing the mysql, but when I type in the name of mysql database, followed by "secureserver.net" I think the SEO is converting it, and it won't allow me to access the database.. but.. I'm not sure.

[jholdersatx]

I ... stand corrected.

 

Apparently it just took me writing it out to see my own error.

I shouldn't of messed with the layout of the files under the SEO, they weren't designed for that.

I'll be quiet now.

It is therefore little wonder that Emirates has ordered no less than fourty-five of the jets, which will be delivered to Dubai starting 2006.

FlyingMonkey: Froogle Merchant Center reports 325 for all of the following:

 

# of items processed # of items succeeded # of active items

 

 

But only 307 actually appear on Froogle. There are no errors anywhere.

 

Since that post I have added new products and uploaded a new feed to froogle. Now Froogle lists all 3 of those item data counts above as 350 which is accurate. But once again only 332 show up on Froogle, which is 18 less. Same exact amount as last time! None of the new products I added are among the missing. I do not know for certain if the items missing this time are the same as last time ( I suspect they are), I only know that the new ones all made it on to Froogle just fine. I painstakingly figured out which 18 are missing and checked them, there is nothing unusual in the feed about these products at all. I cannot see any reason why they are not listed.

I do not know for certain if the items missing this time are the same as last time ( I suspect they are), I only know that the new ones all made it on to Froogle just fine. I painstakingly figured out which 18 are missing and checked them, there is nothing unusual in the feed about these products at all. I cannot see any reason why they are not listed.

 

If no errors are show in the Froogle Merchant Center, then it's an issue with Froogle or the products just haven't all populated yet. Try contacting Froogle/Google directly.

http://www.micro-wings.com/product_info.php?currency=USD&products_id=28	Emirates Airbus A380-800	Founded in 1985, this airline from the Emirate of Dubai has developed splendidly, thanks to the country's oil wealth. It is therefore little wonder that Emirates has ordered no less than fourty-five of the jets, which will be delivered to Dubai starting 2006. A model of this future jet will now be released with the registration A6-EDA.	20.73	http://www.micro-wings.com/images/herpa_514521.png	Herpa Wings 1:500 > Airbus	28

In the meantime, DAT has been renamed SN, and even serves the traditional Sabena routes to the former Belgian colonies in Africa. Sabena?s well-known ?S? logo was adopted, along with the airline?s three A330-300s.	18.64	http://www.micro-wings.com/images/herpa_508582.png	Herpa Wings 1:500 > Airbus	30

In the meantime there are now 22 A319s in service and 19 more on order. Since 2005, Germanwings has also been flying from Berlin and Hamburg in addition to its hubs in Stuttgart and Cologne/Bonn and decorated their A319-100 D-AKNO with a bear, the heraldic animal of the German capital.	15.51	http://www.micro-wings.com/images/herpa_509107.png	Herpa Wings 1:500 > Airbus	48

hi, yes it was created by the feeder. I used nothing else so far. Sent it several times already but get the same error always. And the error always mentions the same lines.

Hi all.

I installed contrib. , I am receiving data from froogle and Google base in my feeds folder. I uncomment ftp and it says success for Google base and for Froogle it says wrong password or username (I think I have to wait for that to work). Anyway I uploaded those files manually, and for froogle it says

I guess something is wrong.

Please someone let me know what is going one.

Than you all.

hi, yes it was created by the feeder. I used nothing else so far. Sent it several times already but get the same error always. And the error always mentions the same lines.

 

 

Ok now i got an email from Froogle saying that my prices are wrong. They refered to a product that is discounted, so i think here lies the problem. What can i do about it?

[killerwhale65]

and i always get a "page cannot be displayed" when i click on Froogle on the shops admin page. The feed is however created, but i dont know if its uploaded so i upload it by hand to be sure.

[FlyingMonkey]

hmm. the feed your uploading is probably not generated by the feeder then. try deleting the feed. run the feeder and check to see if a feed is created...

 

If there is still an issue, I suggest using the feeder i personally released without SEO.

I don't know about the rest of you but I followed the instructions to log in to Google Base to update my froogle feed as instructed in today's email from Google and got the message 'Forbidden'.

[killerwhale65]

i have no other way of creating a feed so i wouldnt know what else would create the feed. I deleted the feed, and after running froogle.php the feed appears in /feeds, however the froogle.php ends up in a "page cannot be displayed".

[killerwhale65]

i have the same.

[marcinmf]

If you all know Google base and Froogle join together.

https://www.google.com/froogle/merchants/ba...nid=P7gbMk7GoD0

So my question is can we still upload Droogle format to Google base? Dos anyone did some research on that?

Thanks

It seems we can upload our Froogle feed as usual and now products go into Google Base as well as Froogle.

 

.....BUT.... it seems the Froogle file is being processed by the MUCH fussier Google Base upload/server. I was getting 100% success on Froogle feeds, but that instantly dropped to about 50% after the changeover. The errors are all "An invalid encoding was specified for the bulk upload file", which the Help elaborates as "Your bulk upload contains an invalid UTF-8 character.". Most of the failed items contained a "?" in the description. As an experiment I converted them to "GBP " and they uploaded successfully. Unfortunately this still leaves odd characters that cause errors. I think the real solution is to use something like utf8_encode, iconv, recode or mbstring in the code, but I don't know which yet (and probably won't have time to get back to this for a while).

 

Hope this enlightens others wondering why their feeds are now erroring.

Update:

I tried utf8_encode & that sorted out the "?"s, but some products appeared in Google Base with undefined characters that I think were originally long "em" dashes. So there's more to do, and I'm really not going to come back to this for a while.

 

Happy weekend folks!

Hello, Great contribution, Set it up and got it working the first time ... All was well until google rejected my feed :(

My question is how much traffic do you really get from froogle? Trying to decide if it is worth making the changes they want me to.

[radders]

Well every single line of my feed now has an error. The help file tells me what an integer is. It doesn't tell me why it is expecting an integer where froogle didn't though. The bad data in the video feed is 'NR'

 

'The value you entered is not a valid integer. Please be sure to enter a whole number value only. For example, "100" is a valid integer, but "100.01" is not.'

Sorted!

It seems that they have chaged the 'rating' parameter to be an integer, and the shipping now is in the format 'country_code::price'. The final piece of the jigsaw is getting rid of the single and double quotes in the UTF character set and replacing them with the ascii ones. I couldn't see how to do that automatically so had to edit all the affected entries. Oh well!
