google product category warning in data feed(google merchant

Hi,

I am getting following warnings when I am trying to add data feed in google merchant:

Missing recommended attribute: google product category (74 warnings)

While items missing recommended attributes will process successfully, we recommend including relevant attributes if they are available.
Examples:
Item ID Line Nr.
90 17 Show Item
95 49 Show Item
99 111 Show Item
164 211 Show Item
165 215 Show Item

Can anyone please help with this.

I am using opencart 1.5.4

Thanks,

Gaurav

By default the google feed doesn't include that.

In order to add this you need to edit: catalog/controller/feed/google_base.php

And add:
But this will not add any sub-categories just a top category you put in above.

Otherwise you'll need to find an extension to do this.

Ok thanks.

Let me find some extension. Can you suggest some extension.

Thanks,

Gaurav

Sorry I personally can't. I use what I wrote above and it works fine for me so I haven't searched for a replacement.

Maybe someone else on the forum.

I had a go at coding this to pick up the category from OC but category is not defined in the feed .php file and I am not good enough at coding to work out (quickly enough, since I do not use Google Ads myself) how to define it there so it can be used in the feed - someone with good php skills could easily do it I am sure.

Did you find a quick and easy extension that worked for you?
The code didn't work for me ( as the feed is not defined I assume)
so I am looking too.
