[MODULE] Google Base new BETA version

[irrelevant]

Hi Paul.

Just tried the latest versions (both master and beta) and got a simple

Failed to load category id= 0

when trying to generate the feed.

 

A bit of peering at the source and a quick sql query:

 select * from ps_product where id_category_default = 0;

and I found an orphan product!

 

Might be worth a bit of extra information in the error message about which product is causing an issue ...

[Paul C]

Probably worth setting a warning and then skipping that product. Cheers, I'll have a look into it.

[PEPPE83]

Hi, sorry for my english.

I'm using v0.7.3.5.1 and the creation of the feed have only 839 products (i have up to 1000 products in the catalog).

Any suggestions for me?

[1sweetman]

Peppe83 - It might be because you only have 839 ACTIVE products.......I have 4700 products in db but only 4200 are active and that's what I get in my feed......

sorry but I do not think it's my case. I have 1028 products in the catalog and 40 are disabled.

I just did a test, I created a new product, updated feed and this new product is not in the list...

Hi Fenix,

 

That was due to adding a feature to display the prices including or excluding tax depending on the store setting. It worked for 1.5 but broke in 1.4. Have fixed in trunk.

[petrovv]

thanks for this great script!

I was missing the tags (adwords_labels) in the feed

 

$Tags = Tag::getProductTags($product['id_product']);
$i = 0;

if($Tags[(int)$this->id_lang]){
foreach ($Tags[(int)$this->id_lang] as $TagsName) {
			 $item_data .= $this->_xmlElement('g:adwords_labels', $Tags[(int)$this->id_lang][$i]);

 if(++$i > 9) break; // max 9, more tags  not supported by google?
 }
}

Hi silly question time......is there a size limit on this? It worked beautifully with approx 4000 products but now I've got 5500 when I click Generate XML file it justs gives me a white screen.....or is this more to do with php settings and it timing out?

 

Any help greatly appreciated

 

Keep up the good work

Hi Paul, great to see you working on this again

 

Could you give me a clue on how to add shipping weight as Google needs that in the UK

 

Also how to add Google Category. I am happy to hard code that in so that all products are the same category

 

Cheers

Hi haylau,

something like this?

 

if (isset($product['weight'])){
$weight = $product['weight']." kg";
$weight = "<g:country>UK</g:country>\n <g:shipping_weight>".$weight."</g:shipping_weight>\n";
$item_data .= $this->_xmlElement('g:shipping', $weight);
}

 

 

Also how to add Google Category:

the category indicated on the product, according to the product taxonomy from Google.

the taxonomy is mostly different in your shop than google. that is tricky

You can:

$item_data .= $this->_xmlElement('g:google_product_category',$this->getPath($product['id_category_default']));

Hi to all,

 

I have just installed the googlebase-master module but I don't understand how to use the cron file to automate the export task.

 

When I browse through the link shown in the module interface "ww.mydomain.xx/modules/googlebase/googlebase-cron.php?token=0759efc880&module=googlebase" I have a blank page.

 

Please, tell me how to use it.

 

Thanks and regards

Hello,

 

I use 0.0.8.1 version and works fine in prestashop 1.5.3.1 but in the XML feed you not view friendly url:

 

Example:

 

 

 

 

<link>

http://www.basketd3.es/index.php?id_product=1&controller=product

</link>

<g:image_link>

http://www.basketd3.es/1/balon-oficial-molten.jpg</g:image_link>

<g:additional_image_link>

http://www.basketd3.es/2/balon-oficial-molten.jpg</g:additional_image_link>

<g:condition>new</g:condition>

<g:availability>available for order</g:availability>

<g:price>109.99 EUR</g:price>

<g:brand>Molten</g:brand>

</item>

 

How change this? In sitemap module change the code for solve this problem with a forum hack.

 

Sorry for my bad english.

[stevell]

Hi there Totti. I've added it in the latest main (trunk) branch update HOWEVER in the following branch: https://github.com/p...ebase/tree/beta I have a version that is 1.5.3 specific and it implements "combinations". This is where the product references may start to give problems (although even the method I've used for supplier reference potentially causes problems where there is more than one supplier of the same product in a store). The stock management functionality in 1.5 has actually made this easier in some respects and harder in others...

 

I am using 1.5.3 and when i installed it I get the error

( ! ) Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in C:\wamp\www\mysite\modules\googlebase\googlebase.php on line 693

 

This is line 693

$this->_html .= '<option value="'.$id.'"'.($this->currency == $id ? ' selected="selected"' : '').' > '.$currency->iso_code.' </option>';

 

The problem is with "iso_code."

 

Cheers steve

I have a client running PrestaShop on the dreaded GoDaddy shared hosting plan. I am almost positive I know the problem with the Google Merchant plugin is his server limitations (due to the blank error page upon clicking "Generate XML Feed File").

 

What can I do? I'm stuck and have sold him on the need for this program and now I can't deliver.

Any ideas? I know this is a free plugin and I am so thankful that you created it. Thank you for the help you have given on the forums, I just need a little more guidance.

Hi haylau,

something like this?

 

if (isset($product['weight'])){
$weight = $product['weight']." kg";
$weight = "<g:country>UK</g:country>\n <g:shipping_weight>".$weight."</g:shipping_weight>\n";
$item_data .= $this->_xmlElement('g:shipping', $weight);
}

 

 

Also how to add Google Category:

the category indicated on the product, according to the product taxonomy from Google.

the taxonomy is mostly different in your shop than google. that is tricky

You can:

$item_data .= $this->_xmlElement('g:google_product_category',$this->getPath($product['id_category_default']));

 

Hi,

 

At the moment google shopping is displaying my products with "Free Shipping", I have added a Shipping method under settings in the google merchant dashboard area, however it is still appearing as free shipping. I see your sugguested code tweak, would this solve my problem. Also where in googlebase.php do I enter that bit of code.

 

Any help would be very much appreciated.

 

Nick

[nickfromtq]

Does anyone know how I can add the shipping cost to the price,

 

For example, a prodcut is priced at £20.00 and the shipping is £4.99, the price in google shopping is £24.99.

 

I dont know if this can be done by product weight as I have a shipping fees based on weight,

 

However I just wouldnt mind just putting a flat rate down to get me by.

 

Does anyone know where in the code I can have the product price + £4.99 to when I upload the xml document to google it has the total price including shipping. .

 

Any help would be very much appreciated.

 

Many thanks

Nick

[nickfromtq]

Hi,

Can anyone help me with this mod. ?

 

The reason I ask this is because of the way google's new PPC shopping system works. When someone searching for an item in Googles search the google shopping results appear to the right of the search results, but do not include shipping fess. I am finding that I am getting the clickthru rate from google PPC however they are not purchsing the product because when they add to cart it then add shipping fees. So what I would like is the price that appears in google shopping is the price they pay.

 

 

Many thanks

Nick

I hope that there is a fix to this soon. I'd love to be able to use this mod again.

[Whispar1]

Paul - thanks for your efforts to put this out here!

I also gave this a try. I applied ectrading's referenced fix above for the first error but am now betting this error:

Line 16 here:

Could friendly urls be causing this?

Edited May 13, 2013 by Whispar1 (see edit history)

[ectrading]

Hi,

 

I have gone through my XML file and deleted:

 

&controller=product

 

from each product, and now i have uploaded the file with only warmings.

 

What can i do about this so i dont have to do it again? I only have 20 products now, so not too bad, but my shop is growing!

[ectrading]

Also, now all my products come up as out of stock!

[ectrading]

also, the link doesnt go to the correct page!

[Whispar1]

FWIW, Paul does have a specific fix for 1.5.3.1

I have attached the php file here.

 

This works perfectly for me with the exception of friendly url. The link from google wants to go the the non-friendly url which throws up a debug notice:

 

[Debug] This page has moved

Please use the following URL instead: http://www.whisparde...sconce-viscount

 

If the php file could be modified to use the friendly url - everything would work be perfect.

Hello!!!

sorry for my english, i have a problem with the product description, in my shop i have 1500 products and i use only long description, i have chande the code from:

$item_data .= $this->_xmlElement('description','<![CDATA['.$product['description_short'].']]>');

 

to:

 

$item_data .= $this->_xmlElement('description','<![CDATA['.$product['description'].']]>');

 

With the original code the product feed is complete (1500 products) but without description.

With this mod i see the description in my product feed but the feed have only 840 products.

 

i think is a problem of legth and i wont try to truncate the description, what is the code to do this?

 

TY!!!

[mgamer20o0]

i have a question on how to change the code.

 

 

I have account level exemption.

Account level exemptions for unique product identifiers will no longer be supported after July 15th, 2013 in the US, and September 16th, 2013 in all other target countries. After these dates, non-compliant items might then be disapproved and disappear from Google Shopping.

 

We recently introduced a new attribute named ‘identifier exists’ that allows you to indicate in your feed that items such as custom goods, vintage items, or collectibles have no unique product identifiers. Since you previously received an account exemption from the unique product identifier requirements, you should add the ‘identifier exists’ attribute with a value of ‘FALSE’ for items where no identifier exists.

https://support.google.com/merchants/answer/188494

 

How can i add to the code so it places a false value for each item?

 

i believe this is what i need.

<g:identifier_exists>FALSE</g:identifier_exists>

[PrestaShop] Fatal error in module googlebase:
Call to undefined method Category::hideCategoryPosition()

[ilaria]

Hello,

 

first of all thank you for your help. I have installed the module (latest version),  selected Currency - EURO, Language, Italiano, filled in the Feed description and flagged Use Supplier Reference, then I chose None among the options of Unique Product Identifier. 

I clicked on Update Setting an then on Generate XML feed file on the top of the page. 

But this returns this error:

 

[PrestaShop] Fatal error in module googlebase:
Call to undefined method Category::hideCategoryPosition()

 

is this because I have some product without Supplier Reference number, that have Status offline (not visible)? Shall the SRN contain only numbers or also letters?

Thanks in advance, 

Ilaria

[ilaria]

 

What does this mean?

 

This page contains the following errors:

This is How to fix the error:

go to modules>>googlebase>>googlebase.php and change:

//$category_name = Category::hideCategoryPosition($category->name);

Comment it out.
