cafeToolbox Status
The cpFeeder request queue is up and running.
I've added limitations to how many shops can enter the queue each day, so you may encounter an error that "the queue is full". This is normal and will display when the daily limit is reached.
Right now, you have to submit your request the day you want it to run and if the queue is full when you try it, then you won't be able to submit a feed request.
I am aware that the queue fills up quickly and many users get shut out. I expected that and already have plans to create a more even playing field for everyone. For example, I'm planning to add some limits to how frequently any single user can submit feeds and add the ability to select a day in the future to run (i.e. if today's queue is full, then maybe tomorrow or the next day will be available.)
What is cafeToolbox?
cafeToolbox is a small collection of tools that assists shopkeepers at Cafepress and Printfection. My ultimate goal is to expand to other PODs and provide more and better tools. Recent problems with the Cafepress feed generator and the demands of my shops and "real life" have required me to scale back to a simplified feed generator for Cafepress (called cpFeeder). The site and all the tools are created and maintained by just one person, and I will continue to work on all parts of the site as time permits.

cpFeeder is back online. I was able to schedule all the shops that were waiting from 12/14 and 12/16 to run tomorrow, 12/18. So, if you scheduled a shop run for those days are are still waiting for the confirmation e-mail, your feed should complete tomorrow. If you are expecting it to and it doesn't, then please resubmit your request.
Everyone else that received either a blank feed or had problems should be able to resubmit their request normally.

First, cpFeeder will be offline for the next few days while I work on a queue problem.
The cpFeeder Queue has a backlog of requests. For anyone that made a request to run on 12/14 or later, the following may apply to your feed.
1. If your feed request didn't run (i.e. you did not receive an e-mail telling you it was complete), then please wait. I am processing your request and it should complete sometime in the next couple days.
2. If your feed finished, but the file is blank, please resubmit when cpFeeder goes back online in 2 or 3 days (hopefully by Dec. 20).
Thank you for your patience.

The cpFeeder queue was broken and so shops have not been processed for the past few days. To compound the problem, my internet connection was also down during that time, so I couldn't check on it and wasn't aware of the problem until tonight. I've resolved the problem with the queue and moved all shops that submitted requests yesterday to today. Those requests are processing right now.
Everyone else will need to resubmit their request. The old requests were canceled, so they won't count for the "time between runs" limitation.

I added a simple Cafepress product listing to the site. You can view it by clicking the link under the "Cafepress Tools" menu after logging in. It's been requested in the past and I had a few minutes to do it today.
