hello, i now updated default taxonomy URL to this one (at opc product export google xml export section):

https://www.google.com/basepages/produc ... .en-US.txt

but i cannot see any issue when using the ID feed within the system. if not using ID, opc cannot really associate Virtuemart category ID against Google category ID. i now checked the rendrered XML from OPC and there are no IDs in my xml.

so the question is - which interface did you use to pair the categories:
- i tried "opc pairing backend"
- and "plg_vmaddtabs

did you try the XLS import ? i did not check this now

i also checked the other error that you get from google and it means that the specific category is not properly paired, so i suggest to check it with our plg_vmaddtabs plugin that will display the paired category at the VM's category backend.

best regards, stan

Hi, I have some problem, and development proposal (request) for XML eport:

1, I use it for google merchant. I have only (max) 192mb PHP memory, therefore only 'ajax' button pressing work. Other methods run out of memory. I have 4000+ product.
2, In the feed, if product not have GTIN, appear a 'FALSE' value. The google waiting instead a brand + ' ' ?
3, There is a possibility excluded category. This is a super function, but the google random refuse product some category (I couldn't find a reason).
would be a good option exclude product id, too.

hello, i am not sure if i understand your points.

the FALSE value is per specifications from google - did it get updated ? if yes, to what ?

what to do about the brand ?

the category taxonomy differs per regions, the largest set is used in US - does it give a problem on any particular category ? what is the portion of the XML for that ?

some categories may require specific attributes such as size/color/gender/etc... for clothes and similar - so maybe the problem is not the category, but the fields that need to be linked to this type of export.

the best way to do the export is directly via CLI and PHP (not using wget or http to access the export) - this usually does not time out and has much more memory available.

please write us an email on how can we help you:
- send us a portion of the XML which is not correct
- point us to your localized google mechant feed specifications
- let us know what's wrong (i.e. portion of XML) and what is the desired result (on how it should look like ) + link to the specifications that mention it

best regards, stan

If the product haven't ean, need Brand (exist) and MPN... escuse me, this work correct. I wrote the mpn codes to EAN field.

In the MPN field, xml is correct.

We have products affected 'Violation of Shopping ads policy', but we can filter most of it with "Export products not in these categories:" field. But we have categories where 1-2 product problematic, and we have categories where only 1-2 product not problematic :)

would help us, when we exlude product by ID from XML, not only category.

Shared hosting with limited capabilities. Which I managed to accomplish with a cron, one temp folder, and tmp file wich is 2033989 byte. Ajax generated file: 2343187 byte.

hello, no problem about the product ID filter, i'll add it for next OPC version, so everything else is OK or not ?

the batch (number of products) needs to be adjusted per hosting limits, it cannot really be calculated since each php version uses different amount of memory and also invidividual php builds got quite a huge differences, another problem is the timeout - there are about 10 to 15 different timeouts on linux servers (kernel socket, apache connection, php time limit, proxy timeout, etc... ) so it's complicated to find out as well.

Thank You, super. Everything else is OK. For PHP settings I'm trying to disturb the storage service provider.
