In development
Provides functionality for Google Merchant feed generation in .atom format. Additionally allows to create a model for Google Products Categories using Awesome Nested Set gem and build categories tree from remote plain text file provided by Google.
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
gem 'active_admin-awesome_nested_set-dependent_selection', git: 'git://github.com/udovenko/google_merchant.git'And then execute:
$ bundle install
$ rails generate google_merchant:install
Last command will copy initializer template and mount gem engine routes to your application.
This gem can be used for two purposes: Google Merchant feed generation and Google Product Categories tree building. Each part of functionality is optional but it's advisable to use them together.
Check initializers/google_merchant.rb after gem installation to see the configuration example. Since the gem was created for custom shops without any e-commerce solutions like Spree, mapping products to feed view is just an array generation within a proc., so you can manage feed tags content absolutely without restrictions.
By default, feed is available on demand as a controller action by route google_merchant/feed.atom. This means it will be always generated again for each request, which could be expensive for a big amount of products. In this case consider feed file generation.
To generate feed file according to relative path and format given in configuration, execute:
$ rake google_merchant:feed:generate
You can use Whenever gem to schedule feed generation as frequently as required:
every 1.day, :at => '5:00 am' do
rake 'google_merchant:feed:generate'
end
Building Google Product Categories tree requires additional table in your application DB and Awesome Nested Set gem. To create categories table copy migration from gem and migrate your schema:
$ rake google_merchant:install:migrations
$ rake db:migrate
This will create google_merchant_categories table. It's empty and requires to be populated with data. To do so run update task:
$ rake google_merchant:categories:update
It will take some time. Be sure that you set up proper taxonomy_file_url in the configuration. By default en-US taxonomy is used.
