Adding products to Google Base/Content in Magento? - magento

I've been trying to add the products in my Magento store to Google's product search for the last day. I was using the built-in Google base, then found that that 'API' was retired a month or two ago and that the Magento Connect 'Google Content' plugin is what I should be using.
Having installed that, when I then try and add products to Google Content all I ever get is:
"Captcha confirmation error." (I'm typing the captcha correctly).
I've mapped all the required attributes accordingly and all my Google merchant account settings as they should be in Magento's configuration.
Couldn't find anyone with the same issue via Google or Stackexchange, but hopefully someone will have an idea for as to where to start troubleshooting! I've tried adding individual products, not just the whole lot...
Ideas?

Install this extension :

From Mage Core team

I've just managed to solve our problem, in the settings for Google API there is an 'Account Type' dropdown, I've set this to google and now the CAPTCHA problem isn't tripping things up and it's submitting product to our merchant account.

log into your google account then put this in the address bar:
https://accounts.google.com/DisplayUnlockCaptcha

magento google calendar integration

I am new to magento, and working on already installed magento system. The thing is, we have integrated google calendar with our magento booking system. But, nowdays, the bookings are not getting pushed into the calendar.I also checked the configuration settings, and the username password for Google calendar are correct. So, when I go to any product, then the dropdownlist for google calendar doesnt pop up anything. Please I need some help in bringing this calendar back.
I think you could open Firebug and try to click in the calender, then select the element which stands in your way. It could be something wrong with the HTML or CSS.
Besides that, keep in mind don't overwrite the original file as it will be overwritten again on next update. Create a new file and include this instead via layout xml.
Hopes that can help.

Google universal analytics showing unrelated referral link

I migrated Google's Universal Analytics into our magento system. Everything is tracking fine but found some unrelated referral links in that.( Please refer an Image)
As you can see in the image, It's showing payu.in as the Source/Medium. How come? Payu.in is the payment gateway we are using. Also it's has the transactions too. Like payu.in some other unrelated links are also showing in Source/Medium. How to resolve this?
I presume in your previous GA installation you had the _setCampNOKey() setting in place to prevent payment gateways from showing up in the reports. This does no longer exist in UNiversal Analytics, you have to add your payment providers to the referral exclusion list in the property settings (under "Tracking Info / Referral Exclusion List").

Add BCC to Magento sendNewAccountEmail()

I've usually been able to find the Magento answers I need either here or at the Magento forums, but I've tried all the solutions I've found thus far, to no avail.
We have a preliminary screening form for company customers. Only when they've been approved by Sales will we create a Magento storefront account for them. I've rewritten the account creation pages and have that working fine, including sending the new customer their New Account Email. I simply can't get the system to send us a BCC for our records to confirm that registration.
The information in the following post seems outdated, at least I can't find the quoted lines of code in /app/code/core/Mage/Customer/Model/Customer.php or in a search of the app folder:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/boards/viewthread/25535/
I've also tested solutions in /app/code/core/Mage/Core/Model/Email but no luck. Can anybody direct me towards a current solution for Magento Community 1.7 to add a BCC to a New Account email?
Thank you.
In Mage_Customer_Model_Customer::_sendEmailTemplate() check this lines:
$emailInfo = Mage::getModel('core/email_info');
$emailInfo->addTo($this->getEmail(), $this->getName());
Mage_Core_Model_Email_Info has a method addBcc, too.

Is it possible to build an extension that do these things:
add back-end permission control module for product and product category
auto create a product category and do related permission settings after creating a back-end user role
auto add related permission after users of the role creating a product
Set related permission to the role with Magento default function
Not good at explaining, hope this helps...
I found an extension which does exactly this. Here's what it says it can do:
This extension converts your store to a multiple sellers platform. The
admin can set the commission for each seller. The seller is able to
login from the frontend to track their sales and payout from the My
Account page.

I want to add CAPTCHA on shoppingcart.asp as well one-page-checkout.asp page in Volusion, can anybody help me how to do this? Thanks

My client has ecommerce store on Volusion and he is getting so many fake orders and now I want to add CAPTCHA before user login on shoppincart.asp page or one-page-checkout.asp page (before place order button).
My client website is www.featherstore.com
I already contacted Volusion support and they don't have any specific answer about this problem and just suggesting to take their serivce or get this done by their partner.
You can use google captcha for this :
Google reCaptcha
It is easy to use... You can find out the code how to put it. You just have to get one Public Key & Private Key for specific domain.
It's under the design menu in the admin panel, Hover over design, then click on articles.
Once on articles change display mode to list, and find one-page-checkout.asp and shoppingcart.asp click edit and add your code.
For reference use see:
Volusion File Editor Support
One Page Checkout and Advanced Shopping Cart Functionality in Volusion
