Magento

I am looking for an possiblity to export an product list to import with Google Base.
Can somebody help?

This would be great. Anyone know if it might be included with v1.1?

Any ideas??

We just started working on a commercial google base extension for magento… Stay tuned.

Guess that mean it’s time for me to start working on a free one.

Been meaning to for a while now....

Any idea of when these might surface?

The free one sounds good

It most definitely should be a core module for a system like Magento.

any updates?

have any of you guys tried using the export function of magento to load up a google base xml?

You can do this in next way.

#1 Export all your products using Data Flow
#2 Create tab delimited file for importing into google base using this tutorial http://base.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer;=58083 and this recipes http://base.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer;=66773 and import fields you need to this file
#3 Add url of your site to images and url fields
#4 Save as txt file and upload to Google base

Send you orders

Thanks TemplatesMaster, first time i learned about the export function (great feature!) and getting my products up at google base. Now awaiting for it to process.

Has anyone had any results with this?

This is a nice way to export to google base, but manually editing can be time consuming when you have many products. An automated system would be nice that incorporates a ftp protocol using a scheduling, maybe through cron.

@jan212 - you had mentioned a commercial version. Will this have ftp abilities to upload directly to google and be configurable in the admin?

Any progress on this?

I just look into Magento’s capabilities and the possibility of creating a datafeed for Google Base.

From what I’m seeing, it looks fairly easy thing to implement.

It should be easy. I’ve set up a profile for export which meets the Google Base requirements in every way, except for the link and image_link attributes which only show the relative url and not the full path, if somebody knows how to export the full path then the whole thing’s achievable.

The following is the XML for the Export Profile…

@Dunc - Thank you very much for sharing your profile. That is something we can use for the time being.

We came from a shop that allowed you to ftp the exported file with a single click to Google Base.

Very interested in seeing an ftp mod that can be set to upload at an admin set time schedule.

I know Google Base excepts scheduling of downloading the feed but it is limited to 15mb or less.

So for shops that don’t have a 15mb file you “could” set a different location that google base scheduler can grab the file automatically. That is once we figure out how to get the skin url into the path of the images.
