Google Shopping Extension for Magento

This is a very basic Google Shopping extension that requires basic Magento development skills to customise - there is little in the way of CMS. The module is designed to be as stripped back as possible to allow flexibility.

Compatibility

Magento Community Edition 1.4 to 1.9

Installation

  1. Unpack the extension ZIP file in your Magento root directory
  2. Clear the Magento cache: System > Cache Management
  3. Log out the Magento admin and log back in to clear the ACL list
  4. Recompile if you are using the Magento Compiler

Usage

Configure by going to: System > Configuration > Creare > Google Shopping > Settings

The extension requires two custom attributes to be created for:

  • Brand
  • Google Category

If these attributes do not exist they should be created and mapped here. If a product has no value for either attribute then it will return the default value set here too.

GoogleShopping Admin

You can view the feed that shows all products at:

http://www.domain.com/crearegoogleshopping/index/index/
Limiting Products

If you would like to show a certain number of products you can use the following. For example this will show 1000 products at a time, starting with page 1:

http://www.domain.com/crearegoogleshopping/index/index/pagesize/1000/page/1

The next example this will show the next 1000 products (page 2)

http://www.domain.com/crearegoogleshopping/index/index/pagesize/1000/page/2
Filter by Attribute Set

You can now also filter your feed further by adding attributeset/{id} to the end of the URL. Simply pass the attribute set ID as the agrument, for example:

http://www.domain.com/crearegoogleshopping/index/index/attributeset/10
Filter by Custom Attribute

This extension makes it easy for a developer to create further filters for their feeds. Simply edit the method called getVisibleProducts() in app/code/local/Creare/GoogleShopping/Model/Feed.php

First, add a new argument near the top of the method by assigning to a variable, e.g:

$brand = $request->getParam('brand');

Then, add the filter collection script before $collection->clear();

if (!empty($brand))
    {
        $collection->addAttributeToFilter('brand', $brand);
    }

You can then use this in your feed URL, for example:

http://www.domain.com/crearegoogleshopping/index/index/brand/nike

You can combine as many of these filters as you like:

http://www.domain.com/crearegoogleshopping/index/index/brand/nike/attributeset/10/pagesize/1000/page/2

Disable the Module

To disable the module open app/etc/modules/Creare_GoogleShopping.xml and in both change this:

<active>true</active>

to this:

<active>false</active>

After doing this, clear the cache and reindex your data.
