rustyclockwork Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Jack, I"m doing something wrong, not sure what. The admin section is messed up, when I make the changes, nothing shows up in the main screen section, only the left column shows up. My e-mail is jasonspangle@hotmail.com and I can send you some files to look at if you have time, Thank you, sorry I'm overlooking something, Jason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Installing my version doesn't make any changes to the existing files in admin. If your admin isn't working, you've made a mistake in the installation.

cmjennings21 Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 Then you've made a mistake in the installation or setting up of the settings. Jack Just to let you know it was me. I took the ../feeds/filename.txt and shortened it to filename.txt and it worked. Now trying to put the feeders box in but getting an error due to the declaration of include/application_top.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rustyclockwork Posted September 15, 2009 Share Posted September 15, 2009 (edited) Hello, feeders.php goes in the admin\includes\boxes directory correct? I've tried putting that file in both admin\ and admin\includes\boxes Not sure why it's still not working, Jason Edited September 15, 2009 by rustyclockwork Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Security Notice: I recommend this folder to be a temp folder specifically used for feeds) Again, sorry for being sooooo green here. . . No need to apologize. We all have to learn. Plus, the instructions are not clear. I didn't write those but I can see they need to be updated. I'll plan that for the next release. For now, go into the root directory of your shop. That is where the index.php file is (if that helps). In that directory (named public_html or httpdocs on many servers), you need to create a directory named feeds (all lower case). Then extract the admin/googlefeeder.php file from this zip file and edit it so it uses your settings. Upload that file to your admin directory. The installation is complete. To test it, go to http://your-domain.com/admin/googlefeeder.php and press enter. You should get a message saying the script competed and was uploaded to google. If all of that works, then you just need to create a cron job. Cron is a scheduling program your host provides. It allows some script in your account to be ran automatically. So by running the googlefeeder.php file via cron, a new feed is created and uploaded to google each week without you having to think about it. Cron syntax can vary with the server so it is difficult to provide instructions. But most hosts will setup a cron job for you if asked. If yours won't, then you can search these forums or the web - there are many examples. If you get stuck, just ask again.

blaine109 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Getting this error. I searched and it doesn't seem anyone else has had this particular issue yet.

Jack_mcs Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 That's because of the latest change to Ultimate SEO. I have made a change to this contribution to account for that but haven't had time to fully test it, although I think it works. I'll post it here so it can be tried out before uploading the change. Please let me know if it works for you. In admin/googelfeeder.php, find this block of code require_once('../includes/configure.php'); if(SEO_ENABLED=='true'){ //******************** // Modification for SEO // Since the ultimate SEO was only installed on the public side, we will include our files from there. require_once('../includes/filenames.php'); require_once('../includes/database_tables.php'); include_once('../' .DIR_WS_CLASSES .

"\t" . and replace it with $output .= tep_href_link_gf($productURL,$productParam . $row->id) . "\t" . Then at the end of the file before the last ?>, add chdir($curDir); Jack Quote Support Links: For Hire: Contact me for anything you need help with for your shop: upgrading, hosting, repairs, code written, etc. Get the latest versions of my addons Recommended SEO Addons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack_mcs Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 Hmm, that shouldn't be affected by this code change. Does the datafeed file in the feeds directory have permssions of 755 ot 777?

blaine109 Posted September 18, 2009 Share Posted September 18, 2009 It had 777. Switched it to 755 and still the same.

Jack_mcs Posted September 19, 2009 Share Posted September 19, 2009 Hey Jack My web site is hosted on a windows server and my ISP told me this program/contribution will not work on a windows server, is this true??? Thanks Anthony The script will work manually on your server but you can't setup a cron job since cron won't work on windows. There is a "windows cron" program that will work but your host would need to set that up. Googlebase has an option that allows google to upload the feed for you so that part can be side-stepped. Set that to once a month and it should be OK. You will still need to go in and run the script manually ocassionally or new products and changes won't be uploaded but that's part of the joy of hosting on a Windows server.

What must I do to solve this issue? Thanks in advance The script loads the database information from the configure file. So it would seem your configure file is setup incorrectly, though I don't see how your shop would run if that is the case.

Jack I actually went back like 5 pages as well as searched. Just looking at the googlefeeder.php file or in the product info I don't see anywhere where that information would go. I have some products would need to be placed in "Motor Vehicles > Automotive Parts > Automotive Wheel Systems" and some a level deeper.
