I am getting my Google Base feed working and I noticed the description field isn't filled in, is anyone else seeing this?

Thanks,
Chris

Able has always used the product summary field for Googlebase feeds.

Oh yeah, I forgot about that. Funny how many things you customize and forget to document.

Weird, I changed the product.summary line to product.description and that didn't work. I thought that was what I did last time. Anyone change the GoogleBase feed to display descriptions? I use this feed for more than just Google (since I will not be using Google anymore with the whole Adwords deal).

What version are you running? WAP or WSP? I changed it in WSP around line 250, clicked to generate the feed and it was OK.

Yeah, I am using the WSP version. Apparently I had to wait the 6 hours or whatever. Clicking generate feed or restarting IIS didn't force it to generate it. But, it is now. Thanks.

Can you give me more details on where you changed this line? Which file and location? I need to change mine to use the regular description instead of the summary too! Thanks

It would be VERY NICE to have a setting in the Google Feed section to select Summary or Description as the source of the Google Description feed. Everyone does not use the Summary area.

Ok after further investigation I have noticed that the feed file located in the root>Feeds Folder does contain the description header and description info but is not showing up in the google feed info showing a warning for the missing info. Does anyone have any ideas??
Thanks Richard
