recent announcement by Google concerning lots of new required fields that need to be added to any feed/CSV etc:

http://www.google.com/support/merchants/bin/answer.py?answer=188494

This will require a major reworking of this - and any other module - that deals with generating feeds/files for inclusion in Google Shopping.

I don't understand the slang here - but I'm also in need of this module to work with the new requirements google have set -
So can anybody sum up what's the obstacle here? no one to maintain the module? no developer? or no budget?

Maybe we can do some joint sponsorship - what's the budget quote here?

TX

Count me in for $50 - if someone else will come up with some as well we can put a bounty on this in the developer forum?

I have this working for UK and US. I had to pay £100 for it and have recouped £50. If you want the code, you'll have to drop me £25 via paypal.

Only works for UK/US. Contact me through my profile here if want to get it.

SchwebDesign I'm not sure how to get the module on here. Im certainly willing to release the code once I have yours or another £25 - that way at least the updated code could be helpful for anyone who wants to overhaul this module.

My paypal is nick@friiswilson.com - it's late in UK so I'll get to it in the morning. Go ahead and send me an email at the same address if you want to talk offboard.

thx!

Nick - does your module include all the latest requirements Google added (http://www.google.com/support/merchants/bin/answer.py?answer=188494)??

This added requirements there are currently no fields for in Ubercart such as UPC code, product variants (color, material, pattern, size etc). If your code means this module meets the above specs then I would gladly pay 25 quid for it.

Jason I think it just requires the minimum stuff on that page. I know it works for me, and that I have to put in a new MPN each time I resubmit the node but other than that Im not certain on all the specifics.

Anyone who wants what I have, as it is can drop me £25 but I make no promises and can't provide support.

Having said that. I'd gladly co sponsor a serious rewrite of the entire thing (right now it does not even have a "feed", it's all done by node submit) but most here seem to want it, but not badly enough to pay for it. (nothing wrong with that, but it probably wont get this module built anytime soon..).

All-- I'm working on taking over maintaining this module. Have reached out to compujohnny and will post progress on this in this thread: http://drupal.org/node/1080876

Anyone know how to make Nick's module work? It says it is linked and I have my Account ID in there but what do I do now?

Also is there any module like this for Amazon or other shopping dbs.

@joshfromdallas if it's all linked, you should be able to fill out the details under "UBERCART GOOGLE CONTENT API INTEGRATION SETTINGS" on each roduct node. You'll need an MPN number and a category, but that's about it. (MPN can be anything. I use the products SKU)

Thanks Nick I see that now. Once you do that, do you have to submit a file to Google or something? Or how does that work.

No, you just submit the node. It's not great. There is no detailed error reporting if Google decide they don't like it for some reason but it does work. Best of a bad situation till we get this new module all fixed I guess.

Hey Guys. I can't connect to my Google Merchant account. If I click on the link on the settings page that says "You must sign in to your Google Account" and sign in, I get the following:

The page you have requested cannot be displayed. Another site was requesting access to your Google Account, but sent a malformed request. Please contact the site that you were trying to use when you received this message to inform them of the error. A detailed error message follows:

The site "http://mysite.com" has not been registered.

But, the site is registered with Google Merchant. Any ideas?

Hey Poieo,

Go to https://www.google.com/accounts/ManageDomains and enter your site domain. If you access the Drupal Admin through https then make sure the domain you enter also includes https://. Also, if your site redirects to www.mysite.com then make sure you include the 'www'.

I hope that helps.

Hi there,

Our client has requested a full intergartion of his drupal + ubercart website with googleshop.
basically he needs to be able to auto populate his product into his googleshop.
A successful transaction should update the stock on the site.

I have been searching a lot for this. I found a module which populates the products into the googleshop however it was old. apparently googleshop AIP has changed.
http://drupal.org/project/uc_gbase

and i am not sure it even updates the stock.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks.

hi,
I have installed the new plugin you have added here,
however i am getting this error:
user warning: Unknown column 'product_brand' in 'field list' query: SELECT submit_type, product_name, product_type, product_description, product_brand, product_gtin, product_mpn, product_condition, images FROM uc_gbase WHERE nid = 2569 in C:\xampp\htdocs\pxxx\sites\all\modules\uc_gbase\uc_gbase.module on line 381.

These issues should be fixed in the latest version
