RSS2 feed contribution support

MODERATOR NOTE:
NEW VERSION RELEASED. DISCUSSION HERE: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=76041

The download availability of the RSS2 mod is uncertain at this time as the website for Andrew (a_berezin), the author of the latest version of this mod, has been down for a short while and Andrew has not been around these parts for a month or so.

So after I ensure this mod works well on Zen Cart 1.3.0.2 I will write up some simple install and customization instructions and upload to Downloads area.

The old archived thread is at:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=8500

Also search the forum on keyword RSS for other semi-related posts.

Dear Woodymon,

We have the rss2.php with css version of your xml feeds, currently the product title, description, picture is displayed in the feed, is there a way to include the price in the feed aswell ?

The feed works just fine, now as you may have read in the old post i have modded my store to hotlink images from my suppliers. So the images are on a different server. This is the only thing that does not work (the images are not pulled from the other server). In other words the rss uses local images which i do not have as all my images are on a remote server. Is there a way of getting them to show?

This thread has lots of useful info.

Yes it is a raw package. Place the files in the root of your store. Be sure to first edit both the xsl and css files for your specific needs. Not too difficult but some background understanding of XML and XSLT is helpful.

hello
I have downloaded the rss2 package but am having trouble getting it to work. I have carefully read through the thread mentioned above but it is a bit beyond me.

When I use the xls file, the feed works but the images are very large (much too large). When I use the rss.css method, it doesnt work with the following error message:

---------------------------------------------------------
The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The system cannot locate the object specified.

I want to output an xml file of some of my categories only, preferably with a thumbnail photograph (not the large sized original image).

How do I set it to download an xml file if that is what I wanted to do. Otherwise, I can point a newsreader to the location ??

It is here:

Sorry to be so dense but once you start talking editing the code, it is a bit too difficult for me. Will keep trying to work it out but if anyone can point me in the right direction, it would be appreciated.

cheers
Leah
