Upgrades
Posted 4 Months, 1 Week ago

Karma: 4

All upgrades, will be added to the doc manager system at http://www.virtuemartfrooglefeed.com/docman/upgrades/index.php

The latest upgrade is 4.2 - 4.3, which changes the description text added to the XML feed, to be taken from short description, rather than the long description.

Coming from the long description caused loads of problems with Google as it picked up HTML formatting and declined it.

This should solve 99.9% of them problems.

Hey Ian, I just downloaded the upgrade and uploaded it over the old version - yet the XML file still seems to include the long description, HTML, special characters, etc - not the short description.

Hi there Did you allow the new update to generate a new XML doc, it will over-write the old one automatically if you delete the last run date from the mambot and refresh the home page a few times. Ian

yep, that fixed it, then I just had to go through all my listings deleting the special characters from the short description, and now all my products are finally showing.
