I have recently updated my productcart to 4.1 and the exportfroogle.asp has changed slightly where the above code no longer works to change the long description from showing up instead of the short description. Can someone from Early Impact let me know what I should do to fix this?

Is there also a way to include product weights into this feed?

Thanks,
Mike

Mike,

ProductCart automatically looks to see if there is a short description. If there is one, it uses the short description as it is typically a better fit for a bulk upload file, compared to the long description, which could be too long (it has a 10,000 character limitation).

If you want to remove this logic, you will need to edit the file exportFroogle.asp in the Control Panel.

Locate this block of code:

'// Check Short Description Text
                    if trim(strShortProductDesc)<>"" then
                        strProductDesc=strShortProductDesc
                    else
                    '// No Short Description Text, Use Long Description
                        strProductDesc=ClearHTMLTags2(strProductDesc,0)                
                    end if

... and replace it with:

strProductDesc=ClearHTMLTags2(strProductDesc,0)

As for the other question: those are the fields that you need to use. You can turn off visibility for them in the storefront, so they would not be shown as search fields. This is done on the page where you manage Custom Search Fields. See the documentation for more information: http://wiki.earlyimpact.com/productcart/managing_search_fields

Nobody from Early Impact has any insight on where to go to change this? It takes a lot of time to export your Google Base Items and then to export the same items but this time to choose description, then to download both and copy and paste the description from one to the other and to line up all the skus with the descriptions. There has to be an easier way. Considering this is one of the selling points of the ProductCart Platform, is there a way to make this easier?

Thanks,
Mike

Hi I'm using version 3.51, and when I select Generate Google Base File, it automatically grabs the short description of the products instead of the main description. Can someone tell me a way to change this?

Is it also possible to add a custom, identifiable characteristic, such as mpn, without making a searchable link in the product page?

Thanks in advance,
Mike
