As it goes I've just put the finishing touches to my Parcel Force Module, working 100% on my cart now.
I've been working on it with Interspire for a couple of months, but they made me keep it under wraps until it was fully tested, so that they can release it in the next minor update. All volumetric problems are now sorted, as well as foreign issues that kept coming up.
I downloaded the froogle static 1.0.4 that you have up as #1 on this thread...
tried it with the stock settings and it isn't throwing the condition in the xml file.
Is there something i'm missing here? I saw a post about changing the $this->localpath line...is that not correct in your zip file?
You have to make sure that the path that your google feed is looking at is the same as the path specified in the php. In the php it aims at the cache folder to avoid any privilege issues.
aren't they all .php files? could you be more specific? Do i need to alter my admin froogle php file? I have it setup to go to the cache which is stock from this zip file on this thread.
i haven't set any crazy store directories so it's the typical \public_html\ directory... for my store.
I'm confused what the problem is, i get an xml file, but it doesn't contain the condition field. I'm not worried about cron since the feed doesn't even work properly for me. I'm sure it's as simple as clicking a button here...that i didn't click...

You don't need to alter any files at all, just upload the ones you got with the download, as per the instructions.

Ok.. useful to know.

I'm equally as confused. The code I've provided is set to include that information regardless so the only thing that makes any sense is one of the following:
You're possibly looking at the wrong xml file (does it have a date at the end of the file?)
Just to note that I've realised Froogle/Googlebase has the facility to target specific markets and on top of this you need to have a separate target URL so at some point I'm going to write a slight variation on the system that helps deal with this.
Martin,
I've decided to use this mod instead of use the built in ISC one (I found it to be quite buggy....). Kudos for the work here, it seems to work great! I have one question for you. I would like to include another field from the products table in the database (a custom field labeled 'prodfeedmodelnum' ) because the "model_number" that is currently exported in the feed is my sku (a five digit number that has no external relevance) and I would rather it be a relevant piece of data such as the actual model number. I've attempted substituting 'prodfeedmodelnum' where 'prodcode' was in the class.froogle.php file but this has not worked. Do you have any suggestions or hints for me? I appreciate any help you can offer.
