Chevron, you get free upgrades for life from V4 onwards and i have already posted a huge response this morning explaining exactly what i am doing about the feed not working. I am trying to find out what has changed in Google, and what i can do to change the feed to suit.

Virtuemart version 5 is probably 3 - 6 months away from now, its 2 weeks until the stable version of VM is released, so i haven even looked into V5 at all yet, im just asking for ideas.

Hi Everybody, can you all please upgrade to the latest version 4.3 http://www.virtuemartfrooglefeed.com/docman/upgrades/index.php
which allows changes the feed from using the detailed description, to the short description. As long as there are no special characters in the short description, you should have no issues.

99% of the issues shown in this thread, was HTML tags being brought through from the description, usually where people have copy and pasted content from a manufacturers website. The short description, doesn't allows any formatting, so it works.

Also for you none English people, I'm not sure if this will help, i think it should do.

Let me know, as i will then have to do go to plan B (which isn't planned yet )

Unfortunately, I didn't add short description on any products so the problem didn't solved for me.

Hi,

I have just downloaded and installed your module and have managed to get it working to a fashion.

I liked the fact that the short descriptions were to be dispalyed because of the lack of formatting however, my version is still showing the full description - you can see what I mean by going here:

https://outdoorsrus.co.uk/mambots/system/vmrss_v4/all_products.xml

I did try and download the amended file in this thread and copy that to my server however, it hasn't changed anything.

Can you help please?

Many thanks.

Robusta Im not sure what advice i can give you, the reason for the feed failing on most people is not because the feed is wrong, but because people have added things that causes HTML tagging to occure. Just for SEO reasons really you should have the short description in anyway, as this will help with keywords in the search results.

I havent got around to changing the main file yet with the updated file i released yesterday, i just ran out of time

If you generated a feed before updating it, you will need to genertae another feed again to over write the last one with the new feed.

If you see this code at the top of your page whe it is creating the feed

Warning: fopen(/home/xxxxxx/public_html/mambots/system/vmrss_v4/all_products.xml) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/mambots/system/vmrss_v4.php on line 0

That means the XML file itself is set to have no write permission so it cant overwrite the last feed with the new one, you need to change it to 777 (read and write everybody), and it will work perfect.
