google product feed generator plugin - SUGGESTION

Hello-

Recently Google has begun to disapprove our products from their Shopping program, and I've learned it is because we have visible watermarks on our product photos. We are using a 3rd party plugin to watermark our product photos "on the fly", and because the nopcommerce kernel caches the image links, a solution of only serving watermarked photos based on the user agent is not possible.

I'd like to suggest that the nopcommerce google product feed plugin be enhanced to allow admins to specify an alternate directory  as the path to the photos to be referenced in the product feed. (e.g.   /Content/un-watermarked-photos/)

This would allow admins to copy all product photos into a separate directory for use in the feed, while still displaying watermarked photos on their public site.

I'm also open to any other ideas...

Thanks,
Steve

Hi Steve,

Thanks. But I think it's much easier to customize and simpler the plugin source code to get picture URL from other place (for such specific task)

This is the tricky part..if all pictures are cached by nopcommerce kernel as the site is initially loaded(and watermarks dynamically applied), I see no way that a plugin could 'get the picture URL from another place' and display it without the watermark based on user agent string....because the picture was already rendered WITH the watermark, and cached..

Frustrating...

Thanks,
Steve
