Been playing with it and no matter what I try I don't get any feed of any kind. Not even the dreaded error messages. Just the title and nothing else. Tried using your forum to create a new ZSB site and the add a page option. Same results on both. ZSB 1.2 still working so it's not at Zazzle's end.

Howdy ZSB folks, We just discovered a small issue that may be causing some feeds from Zazzle Store Builder to return stale (or no) results. Fortunately, the fix is easy. Open the file "/include/lastRSS.p h p" Around line 140 add the following: Code:curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_USERAGENT, "Mozilla/5.0 (compatible; ZazzleStoreBuilder/1.5; +http://www.zazzle.com/)"); You need to add that line right before this one: Code:curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_HEADER, 0); That should fix you right up!

Thanks for the quick response, still a no go though. I'll try to play with it some more this weekend when I have some more free time.

Is there any way to get the product type appended to the product name like it is in our shop? http://www.zazzle.com/girlscantwhat/gifts?cg=196252644480572998In the above example, all my products are named "Light Artist" and you can see product types appended to them like "Coffee Mug" and "tshirt". That would be amazing SEO for our store builder shops, but currently the feed only sends over the product name like this: http://www.girlscantwhat.com/gifts/artist-light/Surely you could alter the feed to include the product type? Pretty please.

We're looking into it on the feed side. It wouldn't be too difficult to add the product type to the title in Zazzle Store Builder, but the better way is to get the feed to pull the full title.

By the way, the feeds should now include the product type appended to the title.

Thanks for the update. Can't wait to see how this will impact my SEO!
My only issue now is search... why does search for "ipad" and "iphone" etc. give zero results? Can that be fixed?

Any ideas? Is the search being updated?

My script was already adding product types to the names( My Site), and the change in the RSS feed broke it because part of the script needed an unmodified title. No worries though, I have it fixed for now. What would really be useful, and would simplify my script(I don't use ZSB, I wrote a script from scratch that imports all of the products into a database), is if you changed the <g:style> for the binders to include the spine size. I have it so that I can show individual subtypes separately, such as the three binder sizes, the different cases, and the different ornaments. <g:style> works for speckcases and ornaments. I haven't added any of the latest batch of cases or some of the odd shaped ornaments yet, so I don't know about those. For the binders I need to use the img url. There is a 5 character alphanumeric string within the image url which somehow represents the base product image+background color. It works right now, but there is a catch. I can't change the color without changing that sequence and there are a few different sequences for each binder size. So something like <g:style>8.5x11x1</g:style> would be better for me.

I think it's possible that this change has broken zstore pages that search for keywords that are also product names. For example, this page works, while this one doesn't. Both are doing searches for the keywords vintage+travel+poster. The working page is looking for products that are posters, while the second one is looking for coffee mugs with the same keyword phrase that includes the word "poster". The same is true for other pages that are trying to load products that are not posters, but have the word "poster" in the keyword phrase. This worked previously but I see that it isn't working now - so my guess is that it has something to do with this change.

I "fixed" my keyword problem from above by removing the keyword "poster" from the searches for products that are not posters - that gives me less accurate results but I guess that's better than no results at all.

I went to the page generator and had it generate the files for me. This time it seems to work just fine. I love the product view you have implemented. One question, is it possible to make the product view a popup ? Where I'm using it it doesn't fit within the iFrame I need to use for the ZSB to work on my affiliate site (I use p hpNuke). The ZSB fits just fine with tweaking the thumbnail size and how many to show per line but the product view is too wide and I either need it be a popup or can you direct me on what settings in the product.p h p file I can tweak. EDIT: I've been playing with the settings in the product and productview and have rearranged some of the elements. I noticed that the price is wrong, is that something I did, the original code or something at Zazzle ?  Edit To Edit: Seems to be just the stamps with the incorrect price. Other items I checked seem to display fine ie tees, greeting cards, cases. So must be on Zazzle's side.

I've been having the same issue with prices. My problem seems to only apply to ornaments though. My custom script rejects the -0.01 price and tells me the products that have that issue. If you go to your actual Zazzle page, and have prices showing, the affected products won't have a price next to them. I had some ornaments that just wouldn't fix yesterday, so I went to the product pages, clicked edit and then cancel. For some reason that fixed the problem instantly.

I also have lots of things showing prices as -0.01... canvas prints posters courier bags organizers casemate cases pillows puzzles ipad sleeves photo prints napkins placemats towels macbook air sleeves new magnets I think that's the total list of them. Is there a fix in the works for this? Thanks!! http://www.sullivaninteriors.net

I made and edit to my original post on the -0.01¢ and stated it must have been on Zazzle's side since it started working on it's own.

Thank you but my products are still showing the .01 for the price and have been for the last 2 days, so it isn't fixed yet, it looks like some of us are "still" having the problem of the prices not showing in our stores and on our ZSB websites. So any new info on this issue would be greatly appreciated
