If you have a very large number of products your server may be running out of memory. How many products do you have?

If that is the case then you will need to submit by categories. You can select more than one category at a time, it is probably best to experiment with this and submit about 500 to 1000 products per feed.

Well, I finally sent in txt file and have had no problem.

The only mistake that I have now is that, in the products they have discount, shows me the full price, rather than show the final price.

I checked the settings and I've done several tests, but I can not find the parameter that makes reference to take the final price.

What is the parameter that defines the reference price-making?

Thank you.

I am surprised by this, because the feed should automatically apply any discount. Where you might have a problem is if you do not have a start and end date for your discounts. In that case, Google does not consider them to be a discount.

Without further information I cannot say more. Could you give the URL of your feed, then I might be able to see what is happening.

The discounts are being shown correctly, eg:
<item>
		<title>****OFERTA**** Titanlux esmalte brillante 375 ml BLANCO</title>
		<link>http://www.pinturasvillares.es/component/virtuemart/details/36/3/esmaltes/oferta-titanlux-esmalte-brillante-375-ml-blanco?product_currency=EUR</link>
.............
		<g:price>12,85 EUR</g:price>
		<g:sale_price>5,17 EUR</g:sale_price>
		<g:sale_price_effective_date>2013-02-22T00:00:00Z/2013-06-14T17:24:31Z</g:sale_price_effective_date>
...............
	</item>

Where you have a problem is with the end date of the discount which is coming up as 2013-06-14

It looks as if the feed is just out of date. The thing is that the file www.pinturasvillares.es/components/com_g...l/googlebase.xml.txt is not a dynamic url, in order to keep it up to date you will need to refresh it periodically by clicking the dynamic feed link given in your GooglebaseXML admin. For that reason it is better to submit the dynamic feed url directly to Google rather than the text file if you can.

Hello again

Impossible. I have programmed daily feed rising, to take the price every day, but I take the full price ....

There is no way that is linked to the final price to avoid problems?

I am sorry but I don't understand what the problem is, you just need to submit the dynamic url to Google, eg the one that looks something like this:

www.pinturasvillares.es/index.php?option...atid=2,3,4,5&tax;=yes

Google will accept this just the same as the text file, you can vary the URL catid parameter to include different categories. If you use this type of URL then it will automatically update using the current values from the database.

If you are using a SEF extension it is best to configure it so that this URL is not rewritten, this can sometimes cause problems. But actually in your case this does not seem to be a problem. If you click the link you will see that it works.

This approach works, it is how the feed is designed to be used.

Also you don't actually need the catid parameter, you can drop this and just submit the feed for your entire store:

http://www.pinturasvillares.es/index.php?option=com_googlebasexml&format;=xml&product;_country=ES&product;_currency=EUR&tax;=yes

For some reason when you view it in a web browser it looks like the products are not being included, but actually they are. If you right-click on the page and select 'view source' you will see that in fact all the products are being included, the feed works as it should. You need to remember that it is not an html page, how a web browser chooses to display it depends on the quirks of the browser. But that does not matter at all, it is how Google sees it that matters.

Hello again.

I posted my product feeds in google, but I still have the same problem: Discount Products shows me the feed prices without discount, and I chose to remove and put off the final price for the correct display, but does the modification in the feed, or this, or other changes that do in terms of prices, shipping rates, etc..

What is happening?

Thank you.

So far as I can see the feed is showing the correct prices. You need to understand that Google only consider it a discount if it is a temporary sale, so you need to include start and end dates for your discounts in your Virtuemart configuration. Otherwise Google will simply treat this as a price.

The feed was showing the discounts before, there is clearly some change in the way that you have configured your discounts. In order to answer your question I need to see an example of a product where the price displayed in the feed it different than that displayed on your site.
