In the Marketing -> Feeds -> Google Feed, there is a button to fire the google feed generator manually.

But it doesn't seem to work as expected. It only seems to run if the feed file is deleted or the feed interval time has been exceeded. Feed interval isn't even accessible if you have automatic generation turned off.

Am I missing something? If I tell the system to build the google feed manually, I would expect it build a new file no matter what.

Hmm, I think I see the issue.

If you uncheck the Automatic Feed setting, it sets the feed interval to 0.

When CreateFeed() gets called, it only runs the feed routine if FeedInterval > 0. So disabling automatic feed essentially disables the manual feed generation as well.

This feels like a bug to me, or am I still missing something obvious?

Yes, You are correct Joe. Manual feed generation shouldn't be dependent on the feed interval. I just confirmed and reported this as a bug. Thank you for letting us know.

Hey I'm just glad it wasn't me or a long forgotten customization this time
