Help needed, Not seeing Products in Google base Feed

All,

I really need assistance, this is my second post. I had my store upgraded to Version 2.1.0.2. Now my Google Based feeds have no products. Does anyone know how to troubleshoot this issue. I really need to get this resolved.As soon as possible but cannot find anything on this issue. Is there a link on how to make sure the configuration is setup correctly on my store. below is the link it creates:

Thank in advance for your assistance!

Your feed seems to be loading fine. Are you getting errors from the google base feed page?
Google base recently added more requirements and at this time I do not believe OpenCart's base feed has the updates.

How do we overcome this issue please?

I have posted my own problem about this but had no reply.

If the latest OC version does not cover this issue is there an extension which is a simple fix? It just looks as though the feed output needs to be tweaked?

The item / tag output from the OC Product feed (Google Base): Xml feed OC Version 1.5.6.1

<item>
<title>
<link>
<description>
<g:brand>
<g:condition>
<g:id>
<g:image_link>
<g:mpn>
<g:price>
<g:product_type>
<g:quantity>
<g:upc>
<g:weight>
<g:availability>

mpn - does not correspond to the product MPN: Manufacturer Part Number on the OC product webpage, it corresponds to the Model: input

Is there a way for me to simply change the – Google feed output ‘mpn’ to read the EAN: European Article Number as it is the EAN number Google are wanting for the feed? [13 digit barcode number.]

Which OC file keeps this information?

Any help would be good?

Go into: catalog/controller/feed/google_base.php

Find this line replace model with mpn for mpn

i.e. or ean for ean

i.e.

Thank you, I gave it a try but not working as I had hoped.

I changed the code to read mpn instead of model but I encountered problems when loading the feed to Google Merchant Centre.
I also tried ean, but had similar problem.

Google Merchant Centre don’t look to be using ean anyway?

I overwrote with a copy of a later file google_base.php from Version 2.2.0.0 hoping that would work as it has all the correct inputs tags, but I did not recognise any products?

As far as I can see the required Google outputs are in the 2.2.0.00 version. Is there any way to add them to the old google_base.php Version 1.5.6.1

Specifically looking to add:

<g:model_number>' . $product['model'] . '</g:model_number>
<g:identifier_exists>false</g:identifier_exists>
<g:upc>' . $product['upc'] . '</g:upc>
<g:ean>' . $product['ean'] . '</g:ean>

I am not a coder in anyway, but could they be added?

I can’t afford to update to the latest OC version so hoping for a simple solution to get my products to comply with Googles new requirements.

Any help would be great!

Thank you!

A bit more info please... I used the exact code I provided and it puts the mpn or the ean in between the '<g:mpn>' '</g:mpn>' tags in the feed.

So what problem did you have? It should have put either the mpn or the ean in your feed. Did it not?

That is the exact code you should add to the google_base.php file BUT make sure you put the
$output .= in front of the lines, end each line with the ; AND make sure you have the ' at the beginning and end of the <g lines as I added above in red.......
