Marketing Feed Not Updating

[Bruce - PhosphorMedia]

Maybe its something obvious, but I'm trying to add two additional fields to a Google Shopping Feed.

Yesterday, I was able to filter the feed output to remove certain products from the feed...however, I can't seem to add these two fields. Not even to the header. For example:

<mvt:eval expr="'id' $ asciichar(9) $ 'title' $ asciichar(9) $ 'description' $ asciichar(9) $ 'brand' $ asciichar(9) $ 'link' $ asciichar(9) $ 'image_link' $ asciichar(9) $ 'mpn' $ asciichar(9) $ 'item_group_id' $ asciichar(9) $ 'gtin' $ asciichar(9) $ 'google_product_category' $ asciichar(9) $ 'price' $ asciichar(9) $ 'weight' $ asciichar(9) $ 'product type' $ asciichar(9) $ 'availability' $ asciichar(9) $ 'condition'" />

???

that's just the header row and it is static. Are you using marketing > feeds or a page template?

[Bruce - PhosphorMedia]

Marketing Feed. Yes, I know its static...and that's why its baffling...even THAT isn't updating on the feed. The last two added headers are not appearing on the feed. (And yes, I see the file is updating and even deleted the existing one and ran it again.

PS: Feeds need a "test run" count. For example, out 0 - 200 records or 200 - 400 records. This site has 50K products...takes about 10 minutes to run a feed.

Go into user interface and make sure you're in the primary branch. I've ran into this a couple times... the feed templates are branch specific.

thanks. still a miva 9 site though...and it starting working again the next day smh

[RTHOMASDESIGN]

Realized this was a Miva 9 post after I responded, but thought maybe it'd still help if you posted on the wrong forum. Very strange, but glad it magically started working :)

not a problem.

Follow up. While it's still a good idea to include the ability to select a specific group of records to speed up testing, here's a work-around.

Add this to the beginning of the iterator template

<mvt:assign name="g.thisCount" value="g.thisCount + 1" />
<mvt:if expr="g.thisCount GE 50">
<mvt:exit>
</mvt:if>

to test the first 50 records

<mvt:assign name="g.thisCount" value="g.thisCount + 1" />
<mvt:if expr="g.thisCount GE 50">
<mvt:foreachcontinue/>
<mvt:elseif expr="g.thisCount GE 100">
<mvt:exit>
</mvt:if>

to test records 50 to 100
