Guest Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 If you submit a feed and google accepts it but doesn't list the products, the problem is with google. You will need to talk to them to find out why they are refusing it. Jack I have just found the problem. There is no line or item number on the output file. How can I add these?

Jack_mcs Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 A line number isn't something that google requires. You could alter the code to add it but it would be a waste of effort. If you are referring to the product ID, that should already be in the ID column.

Guest Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Here is what google say. Please make sure you include all required attributes in your data feed. Examples: Examples: Item Nr. Line Nr. 2 3 3 4 6 7 7 8 8 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 That's an example, not an actual feed entry.

jwalker Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 Hey, just a simple question for anyone. We have about 2000 products and are constantly , daily, updating our products. Does Google penalize, or frown about, uploading a new feed, lets say weekly? Thanks and Cheers!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyingMonkey Posted October 1, 2009 Share Posted October 1, 2009 (edited) No, but items that get refreshed more frequently get more attention from Google. I wouldn't necessary spam Google with updates, but weekly and after a major update should be sufficent. It should also be more frequent than once a month. -Calvin Edited October 1, 2009 by FlyingMonkey Quote Most likely your question has been answered, please do a search first.

Guest Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 I have now worked it out and got it working. The bit that was missing was condition. Thanks for the help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lordofcb Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 (edited) You'll need to ask your host about that one. It's a function in php and controlled by them. Jack Am I missing something with this new contribution v 2.3? I had old version worked ok, but I put this new one on my new shop and when I go to admin, the screen except for menu on left_column is blank and it is not showing the googlefeeder in the menu options anywhere. Are the installation instructions no longer relevant? I notice that most of the file settings they used to have in googlefeeder.php that they reference in the instructions are no longer in the file. If i comment out the load of feeder.php in the admin/includes/columnLeft.php everything loads ok.. except no googlefeeder of course.

Jack_mcs Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 As mentioned previously, the new version doesn't use the feeder code in admin. I will change that in the next version since it seems to be used a lot for some reason. For now, if you want to run it manually, you can do so by going to the url.

I will change that in the next version since it seems to be used a lot for some reason. For now, if you want to run it manually, you can do so by going to the url. Jack I have installed the googlefeeder into catalog/admin and specified the domain as just my normal domain name http://pureindollgence.com however, whenever I browse to the googlefeeder.php address I get an internally generated http 500 error saying file does not exist or can not be found. i.e. when i browse to http://pureindollgence.com/oscommerce2/cat...ooglefeeder.php my domain is set by directory index to go to http:\\pureindollgence.com\oscommerce2\catalog\index.php for all calls to http://pureindollgence.com strange, i had the old version working fine on prior oscommerce store, and everything else works fine on the new store site. I should also note I tried setting domain name in googlefeeder to http:\\pureindollgence.com\oscommerce2\catalog and that didnt work either.

The line in the googlefeeder file for the domain shows define('DOMAIN_NAME', 'www.yourwebsite.com'); //your correct domain name (don't include www unless it is used) Why are you adding http://?

Jack_mcs Posted October 5, 2009 Share Posted October 5, 2009 All that's required for this to work is to setup the one file. There isn't much, if anything, in that file that will cause the error you are getting. You will need to contact your host to see why the failure is occurring. It is probably due to not enough memory for the script to run, or something like that. Your host can look at the logs and determine the reason for the failure.
