Google Base Improved and Google Base Stock Status

In case anyone needs it, if you're using Google Base Improved you can add Google's new availability requirement by going to catalog-->controller-->feeds, open the Google Base Improved file, and find this line:
after it, add:
Hope that helps someone. It works as long as the only stock statuses you use are In Stock and Out of Stock.

Thanks for this!

I know Google had changed the feed spec requirements and I had 1500+ products drop out this morning. Make the change in the post and voila!

All sorted.

Thanks again.

Thanks! This helped me out as well! Much appreciated.

Do you also have an advice how to solve the Google Product Category?

Thanks in advance!

Many thanks for this...you have rescued me from a headache on A Sunday.

Hi,
I just installed Google Base Improved to my store v.1.4.9.5 . I installed, that went well but when I try to enable it and save it reverts back to disabled. You help is needed.
Thank you

Zelda, I'm not sure what would be causing the problem. To be honest it's above my pay grade but the person who created Google Base Improved should be able to help.

As for Google's product categories, I've thought about it but I'm just not sure how to make that work or even if you can without going through every product and inserting them by hand. Since at this point Google says it won't suspend you for lacking those, I'm not worrying about it. Now if anyone else figures out a less harsh way of handling it, I'm all ears.
