I'm planning on developing a Froogle module, I have most of the database calls and xml parsing done. I'm going to proceed with making this into a drupal module, however some advice with making the move from test case to implementation. There is an example of I have so far which is located at http://www.barberb.net/froogle, please contact me at barberb@pdx.edu if you would like.

Title: Want to develop a Froogle module » Developing a Froogle / Google Product Search / Google Shopping module for Drupal

Awesome! Will you post an update here when you have a CVS account and project page? I'd be really interested in following this and I'd be happy to help test it out.

Also if you develop it in D5 it would be great to do it with an eye toward a later D6 version as more and more sites are moving to that.

(added some terms to the title for searching purposes)

Did this ever go anywhere?

@shaneod: Not sure if anything was ever developed (it doesn't seem to have been) but I ended up building this out just using Views and Ubercart (D6; in D7 it's is called Commerce). Sorry I didn't respond sooner, but if you're still looking for this, that's what I'd recommend. You can serve Google Shopping (successor to Froogle) an XML file -- similar to the way you can send Google sitemap XML files -- using views.

another possibility is to look into uc_views_gpfeed (https://drupal.org/project/uc_views_gpfeed) . This assumes you are using Ubercart, and hooks into Views to create the feed.

Just in case anyone else stumbles across this, it's possible to do this in Drupal 7 + Commerce using Views or the Commerce Google Merchant Integration module. See the blog post Google Merchant Centre & Drupal for details.
