Hi,
The price listed in the xml file looks like this: "38,7932,975,82"

This is a combination of the price (38,79), the reduced price (32,97) and "you save" (5,82).

So only the products without reduced price are listed correctly.

I like to include in the product file only the reduced price. This is the price people pay. How can I fix this?

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, I will look into this a get back to you when I know what the solution is. It is not a simpler matter to always get the right price in Virtuemart, although I am sure that the problem can be solved.

Thank you for looking into this matter. So far, I myself did not find a solution. But since Google does not accept the product with the price in the wrong format, it is important for me to solve it.

OK, I have uploaded a new release, version 1.0.5, which I believe solves this problem. In the end I wrote a new function to calculate the price rather than using the Virtuemart one. From my own tests it seems to work as it should.

You can download it using your old download link, then upload and install as normal using the joomla installer. Please let me know if it works.

Thanks, the prices are ok now. I was able to upload all my products (> 2000).

But there is one more thing. The description (in Google Merchant Center) shows the short description and the long description form VM. Would is be possible to just show the short description?

This is how it looks:


The short description and the long one are the same with this product.

To do this you will need to edit the file

components/com_googlebasexml/models/googlebasexml.php

edit line 496 from
Code:
$desc = $db->f("product_s_desc")."\n".$db->f("product_desc");
Code:
$desc = $db->f("product_s_desc");
