-- Joomla version -- : 5.2.0
-- PHP version -- : 8.2.23

Hello

I am configuring the Hikashop Google Products Plugin. Works well so far, but:

– The parameters are output as <title><![CDATA[ Basique Poire ]]></title> instead of <g:title>Basique Poire</g:title> as described on support.google.com/merchants/answer/7052...duct_category&zippy= . Is there a way to remove ![CDATA[ and the spacing? Or is this not relevant at all?

– We are missing the option [is_bundle] and [multipack] ( support.google.com/merchants/answer/6324...04938976054928698-EU and support.google.com/merchants/answer/6324...04938976054928698-EU ). As we sell multipacks, this parameter is required. Can you please add this option in the plugin?

Regards
Stefan

Hi,

1. The CDATA is not relevant.
The XML feed is based on the XML file format. And the CDATA markup is standard for XML files:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CDATA
We use CDATA markup in the XML so that it can easily handle any special characters inside.

2. Thanks for your feedback. We'll be adding these for the next release of HikaShop.

Hi Nicolas,

I'll be happy to pass on the CDATA information to the customer, I already suspected that this would not be a problem.

Can you already estimate when the next version of HikaShop will be released and we can use the options [is_bundle] and [multipack]? The customer would like to send the data to Google as soon as possible because of the upcoming Christmas sales. If it takes longer than two weeks, can you let me know which file I need to adapt so that we can use the feature before the next release?

Hi,

We're thinking about publishing the new release in the next two weeks. So you should be fine.
If you want to adapt the code without waiting, the file is plugins/hikashop/google_products/google_products.php

Hi Nicolas,

my client wants to use the tags [shipping] and [availability_date] too.
Could you perhaps add these two fields in addition to [is_bundle] and [multipack]?

Hi,

The shipping tag is already available. The setting for it is near the end on the settings page.

However, it's a good idea to add the availability_date tag. We'll look at adding this too.
