Below is an email from FROOGLE about my feeder. I have checked the link they are talking about, seems to work for me. I do not know what to do to resolve these 2 issues. If anyone else seen this before let me know what could fix this one.

Thanks

Thank you for submitting your product feed. We've reviewed your feed and need you to make some changes so that we can successfully process your feed. Your feed has been rejected due to the reason(s) listed below.

Issues:

- Non-working product_urls
- Spaces in URLs

-----------------
Non-working product_urls: It seems that some of the product_urls in your product feed aren't working correctly. For example, we were unable to load the product_url, http://www.lil-raskals.com/product_i...products_id=28, for the first item in your feed. If the product_urls in your feed don't work, Froogle users won't be able to order your products. Please double check to make sure that all of your product_urls are functional.

Spaces in URLs: We've noticed that the URLs in your feed contain spaces. Please replace all spaces in your URLs with "%20," or your feed will not process correctly. For example, the image_url for the first item in your feed should be:

http://www.lil-raskals.com/catalog/i...usy%20cube.jpg

Instead of:

http://www.lil-raskals.com/catalog/images/wooden toy busy cube.jpg

After you've made the necessary change(s), please upload a new version of your feed. We'll notify you if we need you to make any additional formatting corrections. Otherwise, we'll send you an email to let you know that your feed has been approved.

Sincerely,

The Google Team

Looks like you have Search engine safe URLs on... or whatever causes this type of url:

http://lil-raskals.com/catalog/produ...roducts_id/124

but the froogle feed is still creating classic php with get variable urls:

http://www.lil-raskals.com/product_i...roducts_id=124

which throws a 404 error...

in this file: admin/includes/classes/feed.php

you probably need to change this line:

var $producturl = 'http://www.lil-raskals.com/product_info.php?products_id=';

to something like this:

var $producturl = 'http://www.lil-raskals.com/product_info.php/id/';

Thanks Gabe -

I installed a different version of "froogle feeder" I run the script: http://www.lil-raskals.com/catalog/admin/froogle.php

I get this message:

Warning: getimagesize(): Read error! in /hsphere/local/home/abuata/lil-raskals.com/catalog/admin/includes/classes/feed.php on line 185

Warning: unlink(/hsphere/local/home/abuata/lil-raskals.com/catalog/feeds/carla_lil_raskals_com.txt): Is a directory in /hsphere/local/home/abuata/lil-raskals.com/catalog/admin/includes/classes/feed.php on line 83

Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /hsphere/local/home/abuata/lil-raskals.com/catalog/admin/includes/classes/feed.php on line 86

obviously I did something not correct. Below is the portion of /lil-raskals.com/catalog/admin/includes/classes/froogle.php that I modified.

Thanks

It seems that PHP thinks the file:

/hsphere/local/home/abuata/lil-raskals.com/catalog/feeds/carla_lil_raskals_com.txt

...is a directory... is that the case? Maybe you should delete the file and re-create it?

Yes, there was a directory created there, must have been the first run when I had a slash at the end or something.
My error messages are getting better though, I ran the script again and got only this one:

Warning: getimagesize(): Read error! in /hsphere/local/home/abuata/lil-raskals.com/catalog/admin/includes/classes/feed.php on line 185

Am I suppose to change all the entries for /lil-raskals.com/catalog/admin/includes/classes/feed.php too? see portion below. this doesn't look right, the instructions did not say to change this file.... ???

Hi, Okay, I got ALL my error messages to go AWAY. But now when I upload my feeder file to froogle, they tell me this:

Non-working product_urls: It seems that some of the product_urls in your product feed aren't working correctly. For example, for your product "Wooden Toy Activity Busy Cube," you included the non-working product_url http://lil-raskals.com/product_info.php/id/28. Instead, please use http://lil-raskals.com/catalog/produ...products_id/28.

I have looked at my feed file and all the product url paths are exactly what they request them to be. I have looked through every froogle file to verify the paths, and they are correct. It's like The froogle people are getting a different file or something. This is making me crazy, can anyone help?

Thanks
