Looking for information about the "Google Analytics Module" that is installed with the base install of OpenCart 1.4.7?

1) What does this module do?
2) Is there any documentation for this module?
3) Does this module have anything to do with product feeds?
4) Does this module need to be enabled to be able to provide a product feed to google via "Google Merchant Services"?

1) it provides analytics data to google analytics google.com/analytics
2) Not really. You simply copy your code that analytics provides you and paste it in the box.
3) No
4) No that would be the google base feed module under feeds.

Thank you for your reply.

I am having trouble setting up a product data feed. I bought Qphoria's "RSS/Google Base Feed Module" from his website

Regarding the "RSS/Google Base Feed Module"...
1) I have installed the module
2) I have enabled the module
3) I have set the data feed URL: http://www.shopcelebrity.net/index.php? ... oogle_base

On the "Google Merchant Services" website in configuring my data feed
1) Feed Format: googlebase
2) File Format: XML
3) Scheduled Upload URL: http://www.shopcelebrity.net/index.php? ... oogle_base
4) I have changed the configuration settings in the root\rss.php file
5) I have tried to maually upload the root\rss.php file

I get an email from GoogleBase telling me "no items inserted"
If I look at the GoogleBase website showing me what happend with my datafeed import I see the following:

Code: Select all

No items inserted - Processed on Jun 28, 2010 7:17 pm CST 

Detected file format: XML 
Feed Level Messages
 Error: XML formatting error - Error
Our system encountered an error when processing your data feed. 

Line Nr. Column Nr. 
364 45

Any suggestions?

I want to create an XML file containing all products from my OpenCart database and manually upload the products on the Google Merchant Services website... of course later I would like to automate the process on the Google Merchant Services website, I just want to make sure that the manual upload works correctly first...

What are the steps for manually uploading a datafeed to Google Merchant Services?...
1) How do I export data from my OpenCart database to a file?
2) What is the name of the file that is created (export file)?
3) Is the file an XML file having an .xml extension or some other extension?
4) What file would I upload to Google Merchant Services?

if you are using Q's RSS feed you should probably email him if you are having problems with it.
