Subject :4.Error - The file that was received was not a product zip feed as expected

Hello,

Hoping you can help me with a feed error.

Up until a few days ago fee was working great (awesome extension much appreciated).

Site: www.tommytuckers.com

Currently running v. 1.3.20

 

I am running Virtuemart SEF Pro and worked great until a recent upgrade to that extension.

In playing around with the system it appears the problem is perhaps coming from this extension...

and perhaps how it is generating product URLs for red mystic.

When I shut off the SEF component completey it works fine.

 

Any information, tips, etc... I can pass along to Virtuemart SEF developer to get him pointed in right direction to fix?

I am also posting a message to him for some help.

 

thanks in advance for your help,

Ryan

Hi,

 

Interesting you posted this. I had a pro-install a few days back that had the exact same issue. In this case we made a slight modification to virtuemart and everything went fine from there. I really never understood the root cause but the symptom was that following virtuemart variable was not being set:

$mosConfig_absolute_path

 

In file components/com_virtuemart/virtuemart_parser.php

 

About 1/2 way down that file there is an if statement checking for the existance of the virtuemart configuration file using that variable which was always empty. This resulted in a virtuemart error : The configuration file for VirtueMart is missing!

 

It turns out that's exactly what redmystic is getting when we try to pull your feed.

 

To fix the issue we simply set the variable to the correct value directly above the if statement and like magic everything worked as advertised.

 

$mosConfig_absolute_path = JPATH_SITE;

 

I'd also relay this to the sef developer and see if triggers any ideas.

 

Cheers,

Garry

Hi,

 

i´ve got the same problem with sefpro and your solution works fine, but my sef url isnt shown correctly in the feed

It looks:

http://www.growlander.de/component/virtuemart/co2-tabs-extra-slow.html

instead of:
http://www.growlander.de/growshop/tools-a-hilfsmittel/co2-tabs-extra-slow.html

is the problem in redmystic or in sefpro?

Hi,

Redmystic simply talks to Joomla for the SEF url. Joomla will then in turn talk to SEF programs and routers and provide a sef url back to redmystic.

 

The main issue right now is that we can't verify your sitekey on your site which the module will take care of. I'd recommend installing/publishing it so you can push your products to google and redmystic.

 

Cheers,

Garry
