Hello,
Can someone tell me how to get the xml/rss product feed? I enabled googlebase on opencart 1.4 and here is that link it produced:
http://www.derm-laser.com/shoponline/in ... oogle_base
but I can't seem to get that page open. Althought, It works with the sitemap page and am able to open that xml page.

I have been using googlebase for some time with other sites doing a manual xml file upload but with this one when I try to create a schedule (using http://www.derm-laser.com/shoponline/in ... oogle_base) it gives me this error:
"To schedule a fetch, a valid home page is needed"

Thanks for the help.

There's an issue it looks with the XML coming forth from the feed url.

I did a curl request of your url and dumped it into a file named 'google_base.xml' then opened that file up with Firefox (which processes xml), received the following error:

Code: Select all

XML Parsing Error: undefined entity
Location: file:///Users/pstreet/Desktop/google_base.xml
Line Number 251, Column 22:			<g:brand>M.D. Fort&eacute; </g:brand>
It looks like html entities are being put in place, in this case '&eacute;' where the actual UTF8 character 'é' should be coming up. I don't have a fix for this, as I'm still going through porting a v1.3.2 site to v1.4.0.

Daniel should be able to fix this pretty easily, if he doesn't and I get 5 minutes I'll hunt it down and provide a fix. At least you know why it's not working now ;) (If I recall correctly the only entities allowed in xml are '>', '<' and '&' )
