CartGenie v5.0+: How do I create a Google Base Data Feed file?

Summary:

*Note: Go to http://base.google.com/ to create a Google Base account. Google Base is what you use to setup the Google feed. The products are then
displayed on google.com/products.

You will want to log in to your Google Base account and verify that you have set up the information on the Settings tabs if you have not already done so.

Automatically create a data feed file by completing the following steps:

1. Go to http://YourDomainName.com/cartgenie/GoogleBaseFeed.asp in your Web browser.

2. A file called GoogleBaseFeed.txt will be created in the wwwroot/CartGenie directory of your Web site.

3. Set your Google Base account Data Feed settings to automatically upload the GoogleBaseFeed.txt file weekly (or more often depending on how many changes you make to your products each week/month) at 5:30 AM on Saturday.

4. Login to HELM, http://cp.jstreettech.com, go to Domains >> YourDomain.com >> Web Scheduler

5. Click on the "Add New" button.

6. Add the following settings (See Below):
    a. Task Name
    b. Task URL: cartgenie/googlebasefeed.asp
    c. Week Day: 5
    d. Minute: 0
    e. Hour: 5
    f. keep "Scheduled Task" setting "Enabled".

These Web Scheduler settings will generate a new GoogleBaseFeed.txt file on your server every Saturday at 5 AM allowing Google Base to upload the file from your Web site's server at 5:30 AM every Saturday.

*Note: We recommend 5:00 AM so the nightly backup of your site is not interupted.

7. Click Save.

Manually create a data feed file by completing the following steps:

Go to http://base.google.com/ and log in to your Google Base account. Select 'Data Feed'. Select 'New Data Feed' and follow the instructions to manually upload the GoogleBaseFeed.txt page located in your CartGenie folder.
