Problem with the additional image links in the XML file of the product feed
-
Hi,
I use the XML product feed generated by Pixel Caffeine to have a Facebook product catalogue but also for Google Merchant Center.
There is a problem with the additional image links in the XML file with Google Merchant Center: when there are multiple additional image links, this is how it looks in the XML file:g:additional_image_link>

</g:additional_image_link>The problem is that there is a “blank space” after each coma and that creates a problem for Google because Google transforms this “blank space” into a “%20” and then does not understand that those are 3 different additional images.
So in fact the XML file should look like this (there should be no “blank space” after the comma):
g:additional_image_link>

</g:additional_image_link>Would it be possible to modify your XML file generation for the product feed so that there is no blank space after the comma between the different additional image links? (if this doesn’t create a problem with the Facebook catalogue of course but I suppose that it should not create a problem for Facebook?).
Thank you very much in advance.
