-- HikaShop version -- : 3.4.0
-- Joomla version -- : all
-- PHP version -- : all
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : all
-- Error-message(debug-mod must be tuned on) -- : Google Shopping

Is it possible to select or exclude products for the Google Shopping xml-file creation?

I don't want all the products to advertize on Google.

Hi,

I think that this will require a small edition in the plugin "plugins/hikashop/google_products/google_products.php" function "generateXML()", here you can add:

$query .= ' AND google_product != '.$db->quote('hide');
Just before:
		$db->setQuery($query);
		$products = $db->loadObjectList();

And create a custom product field named google_product, then in the product edition page of the products which ust not appear in google shopping set the value "hide" for the google_product field.

Will this be part of the standard Hikashop?

Would be great!

Hi,

We will discuss about it, but using the custom fields and this simple edition seems to be the best way for now.
Because we can't really add a column in the product table by default in HikaShop for that feature as it is not frequently asked (as I know you are the only one for now ;) ), and if I add the code for the check in the plugin directly, I will have to do a request to check if the column exist or not, so it will add a query for everybody even if a small percent use this feature.

At this time, it don't seem to be a good thing to add it directly in HikaShop, it is better to do this little modification.
