DaysGoneBy Posted May 28, 2010 Share Posted May 28, 2010 Sorry, I'm still learning my way around how to search the forum here--would someone please tell me where to find information on how to do the RSS feed thing so I can submit my products to Google Base? Thank you for your time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaysGoneBy Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 I do have the Generate RSS Feed module installed, but I can't figure out how to actually generate the feed. Is submitting to Google Base even possible with PrestaShop? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 There is no Google Base module in PrestaShop. The RSS product feed module (in the Products section) simply allows customers to subscribe to all your products using an RSS feed on your site. The RSS feed block (in the Blocks section) lets you display entries from an external RSS feed (not the one generated by PrestaShop for performance reasons). I can't find any official Google Base module thread, but appears a Google Base module exists, since it has been posted by someone using it here.EDIT: I found the official page for the module here.

DaysGoneBy Posted May 29, 2010 Author Share Posted May 29, 2010 So, where would I find the RSS feed for my store?What I'm going for here is something similar to what I'm doing now in my other store--go to the RSS feed, save it as an .xml file on my desktop and then manually submit THAT file to Google Base.

Well, what do people do to get their products listed in Google Shopping? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky Posted May 29, 2010 Share Posted May 29, 2010 I've never used Google Base nor Google Shopping, so I have no idea how people submit their products. I assumed that the module I linked to must handle that.When you install the "RSS product feed" module, the RSS icon in your browser should appear when you visit your site. If you click the icon, you are redirected to http://www.yoursite.com/modules/feeder/rss.php?id_category=0&orderby=position&orderway=ASC, which displays as a feed in your browser.

DaysGoneBy Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 I will so try that, thank you very much. I will add though that I think submitting to Google Base is a necessary thing, anything PrestaShop can do to help folks do that would be very helpful to a LOT of people. Just something I'm tossing out there to consider.And as always I very much appreciate your kind responses to my questions.Have a wonderful evening!

Just to let other folks know, I did get the module mentioned above (see link in the EDIT paragraph/sentence) to work with 1.3. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3D Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I have this module installed on version 1.2.2 and it had been working great for months. Two days ago, for no apparent reason, when updating my feed file a got the 'hack attempt' error that has been discussed before in this forum. The feed file updates but truncates at 505 products exactly each time. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This module is no longer work with Google, the XML file provided from this module has been disapproved by Google Merchant Center. Been there try it, done that, and just try it again today, like... right now. Still not working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3D Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I just updated mine this morning without any problems. What version of PS are you using? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PS User Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 1.3.1.1!Please go to http://www.NutriLiteHealth.co.cc/en_googlebase.xml for more detail, the XML won't even show up in the browser, however, when I generate the XML, the back office did not give me any errors!Thanks again.

P3D Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I just connected to the link you provided and found it to be working fine. It displayed 13 items I believe. Is this correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PS User Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 Yes, but for some reason when you submit to Google Base Google Merchant Center does not like the xml file, after few minutes it says "Disapproved", I'm currently contacting Google to see what's going on. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenns Posted July 19, 2010 Share Posted July 19, 2010 It seems to work for me as well in 1.3.1 but I have just two products that have an error and do not upload...strange Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
