I have browsed thru quite a few posts regarding people's inability to get google base to work, I noticed links to the 'improved' mod that seems like its been around since 1.4.
first attempt at exporting to google merch data feed resulted in zero items found - file not found.
third attempt I got problem
Line Nr. 2 Column Nr. 39 which I have no idea where columns are in a xml file.
Does the google_base work, and is the problem that the links in the xml file includes these special charactors ?route=product/product&product_id=79
columns numbers are characters in xml
so, view the source of the err'd feed
go 2 lines down and 39 characters across.

it's not a problem with the links. If I remember correctly the problem is generally a & or some other special character in a product name.

So if I am reading this correctly, the problem is in the product link urls? Are you going to tell me that google base only will work with seo friendly urls - or do I need to put some more coding bandages on this program again. Fixing and writing php takes me 100 times as long as someone who actually has been educated on php. I have other things I would rathar be doing.

Same here google base product feed doesn't work on my site too.
I am using oc 1.5.1.1 and my google base url is:
http://atom.gr/index.php?route=feed/google_base
Did anyone found any solution? If not, is there any extension which we can do our work with it?

It means you need to edit catalog/controller/feed/google_base.php
find occurrences of weight_class and change to weight_class_id
find occurrences of weight_class and change to weight_class_id
I have still yet to get this google_base to work the way it should. I can go to my link and save the resulting file as xml, and upload that to google, and it works fine, but if I just give google the direct link to my sites google_base I get errors. I think it is a problem with the headers that google recieves from the link, but I am not sure.
the content you copy from the page will have the same headers so I doubt it is that.
it is probably due to a timeout feature that Google gives up waiting for the feed to be produced when trying to fetch it, maybe because you have a lot of products.
