Hi Guys,
I ma pretty new to opencart and would really appreciate some help with Google Base. I have setup my website and everything working well www.kandlfashion.co.uk but unfortunatley I cannot seem to get anywhere with Google Base. I have created a new Base account and uploaded a new feed via the link provided in my admin section for the google base extension.
It is throwing up a whole lot of errors and I cannot seem to work out waht to do. Any help or guidance would be great with this. Errors listed below.

Why do you have kandlfashion.co.uk when all links and I'm guessing all URLS in your config files are set to bit-solutions.co.uk
Google will only allow urls to product pages where the domain matches the one you have set-up in the General settings in that account.

OC's Google Base does not display the Availability attribute, so you will get errors for this.
Depending on your type products, brand may or may not be required. Google is only issuing you with a warning there. So your products may pass anyway. However, where possible set-up your manufacturers/brands in admin and assign them to your products. The feed will then pick them up
Google Product Category - Again it depends on your products. Again OC's Google Base feed does not display this 'new' attribute. You will always get warning for this, but if your products do not require this attribute, it is nothing to worry about.
--
There are Google Merchant Extensions available that will satisfy all of Google's new requirements. You may also search the forum to find answers on the availability attributes etc on how to hard code them in to the default OC Google Base feed.

Hi simon,
Thanks for your quick reply. Reason it shows bit-solutions is that I am hosting this site for a client on my web server so when the code generates from the google base extension in open cart it shows my domain first as this where the site is hosted. Hope this makes sense. What do you think the best solution would be to sort?

Is it a multi-store ?
If not you should change your URLs in the config.php to suit your client's domain rather than yours
i.e.
change
to
Likewise with the admin/config.php although this will not affect Google Base, it is still the right thing to do.
If you are using the .htaccess file for SEO URLs you will also need to change
RewriteBase /kandlfashion/
to
RewriteBase /
If not you should change your URLs in the config.php to suit your client's domain rather than yours
i.e.
change
Code: Select all
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.bit-solutions.co.uk/kandlfashion/');
define('HTTP_IMAGE', 'http://www.bit-solutions.co.uk/kandlfashion/image/');
define('HTTP_ADMIN', 'http://www.bit-solutions.co.uk/kandlfashion/admin/');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'http://www.bit-solutions.co.uk/kandlfashion');
define('HTTPS_IMAGE', 'http://www.bit-solutions.co.uk/kandlfashion/image/');
Code: Select all
define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.kandlfashion.co.uk/');

If you are using the .htaccess file for SEO URLs you will also need to change
RewriteBase /kandlfashion/
to
