Hello,
I have the plugin installed on our ZenCart site - it shows up properly on all of the pages but doesn't seem to generate the feed itself properly for anything except for the primary 'base' feed.
For example:
myzencart/index.php?main_page=rss_feed&feed=new_products
Shows a blank page, but the base rss_feed page shows the proper feed, ie:
myzencart/index.php?main_page=rss_feed
Any ideas why the feed wouldn't be working for any subcategories or other pages other than the base feed url?
I did that, thanks. It is now set correctly, though I am not sure what exactly it is supposed to do. Thanks.Quote:

Again, the error message is: XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity

Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
Now that it is installed correctly, in Firefox you should see the orange RSS icon in the address bar at the top of the browser. In IE, there should be an orange RSS icon next to your tabs on the right, underneath the address bar.Quote:

When I first installed this mod, I figured out how to do that. I only wanted to use the New Products and Specials feeds and I was successful in removing the other ones. When I installed an updated version of the mod, I couldn't for the life of me remember where I made those changes. I haven't really had any time to look around in the files though. When I have time and figure it out, I'll let you know.Quote:

Well...I added a bunch of products yesterday...and then I deleted the RSS file that showed up in my root.....
Now my new products feed doesn't work at all.
Okay...let me start from the beginning and go to the end of this issue...maybe someone can tell me where I screwed up.
I installed 2.1.3 and it worked fine except it filled my root folder with the RSS_(randomnumbers) files....
I saw that a_berezin created an upgrade. Colemanpa said that it fixed the issue for him....so I downloaded the upgrade...overwrote the files and ran the 2.1.3_upgrade file. I got an SQL error.
I ran the 2.1.4 Full install .sql file as Colemanpa said, it seemed to work fine, however I was wrong. It didn't update the new_products feed. I noticed that there were RSS_(randomnumbers) files back in my root directory. I deleted them and the new_products feed updated.
Last night I deleted them again to get the new_products feed to update again, however...instead it just deleted EVERYTHING from the new_products feed. I uninstalled 2.1.4 (deleted all the files and ran the uninstall.sql file)
I reinstalled 2.1.4 and it didn't fix it at all. So I decided to go back to 2.1.3 and that's not even working now. So now I've uninstalled 2.1.3 and I've reinstalled 2.1.4....
I'm not a coder whatsoever, but I'm assuming there is something that got screwed up when I tried to upgrade the first time. I backed my database up back then...but since then I've added a bunch of new products and some new customers....I don't want to lose all of that work. What can I do to fix this?
For now I've changed the default feed to Specials because any feed with the word products in it (new_products, products) will not work.

Got it! Thanks to Microsoft...lol...Internet Explorer told me what the problem was...and as I figured it was my fault. One of my products had an invalid character that was screwing up the xml....apparently Google Reader was the only thing having no issues with it.
Hi,
Really grateful for this contribution, thank you.
I do have a few validation errors I need help with:

I am still fruitlessly trying to track down the source of the xml parsing error. I am not sure if this is related or not, but in the rss.css and rss.xls files are the following wording:
The CSS/XLS files are sent to the browser in this order: (and alphabetically within each case of more than one match):
rss*.css // are always loaded and at least ONE should contain site-wide properties.
rss*.xls // are always loaded and at least ONE should contain site-wide properties.
Do I need to input something here to make it work, and if so, what? I am not sure what site-wide properties would be appropriate for an rss feed.
Please help.
Quick bugfix! Run this sql
Code:UPDATE configuration SET set_function=NULL WHERE configuration_key = 'RSS_CACHE_TIME';
Use last version Google Analitics Integration module.Quote:

Hello Andrew,
Just updated to latest release. I have a few validation errors, but I remember they disappeared in a previous release, but in feed validator they show up again. Here are the first ones anyhow:-

Hello Andrew,
I have updated the software that uses the rss, and all works fine now, so you can ignore my post.
All the best,

Hi,
******** Issue: Getting price to show up in the feed
Thanks Andrew for a great contribution. Have got it working great with everything except: Price. Have read all 33 pages of the forum and found a lot of posts on here about getting the price field to show up, but can't work out from these about how to actually make prices show up.
Can anyone who has got the price to show up in their RSS feed to PLEASE help by explaining how they got it to work?
Using Google Reader as the preferred RSS reader and the latest version of the contribution (11 March 2008). Zen cart 1.37.
Thanks so much in advance!
Same here... can't get price or images to show up in Google Reader either. Images show up in Yahoo's reader, but no prices.Quote:

No Andrew I am not sure (it did seem like it thought!), I have already insalled the latest google analytics you see and I am getting new validation errors with that.Quote:

I suspect that Andrew may be referring to the Google Reader, etc. documentation. Although his readme can realistically be expected to cover the major points of this mod, it wouldn't be reasonable to expect him to document its impact on every conceivable reader in use now and in the future that people might use. So rather like for browsers, you need to work out what your visitors might use and familiarise yourself with them and their limitations and likely interactions with this mod.Quote:

Stepping back from that, Andrew has made a huge contribution to the mods available for Zen Cart - not only those with his name on, but also several that have been taken forward by other people building on his foundations. So even if he sometimes gets a tetchy at times, were to take your advice this community would be impoverished by his absence.
It also wouldn't be reasonable for me to be expected to read the manuals of every reader available to see if this mod is compatible with them. Instead of the whole RTFM statement, he could have just said that they weren't compatible. Its that kind of attitude that I'm sick of around here. We aren't all programmers. We don't know, so we come here to ask. The people who do know don't need to be so damn condescending.Quote:

Do you really think people are going to read through pages and pages of forum posts? (I'm sure posts like this, clogging up the threads, doesn't help either, but you know.... I just HAD to reply.)Quote:

Hi,
Can someone help me with these...
Line 49, Column 31: an attribute value specification must be an attribute value literal unless SHORTTAG YES is specified.
document.write("<script id=__ie_onload defer><\/script>");✉
Line 49, Column 48: the name and VI delimiter can be omitted from an attribute specification only if SHORTTAG YES is specified.
document.write("<script id=__ie_onload defer><\/script>");✉
"VI delimiter" is a technical term for the equal sign. This error message means that the name of an attribute and the equal sign cannot be omitted when specifying an attribute. A common cause for this error message is the use of "Attribute Minimization" in document types where it is not allowed, in XHTML for instance.
How to fix: For attributes such as compact, checked or selected, do not write e.g <option selected ... but rather <option selected="selected" ...
Line 49, Column 48: required attribute "type" not specified.
document.write("<script id=__ie_onload defer><\/script>");✉
The attribute given above is required for an element that you've used, but you have omitted it. For instance, in most HTML and XHTML document types the "type" attribute is required on the "script" element and the "alt" attribute is required for the "img" element.
Typical values for type are type="text/css" for <style> and type="text/javascript" for <script>.
Line 49, Column 48: document type does not allow element "script" here.
document.write("<script id=__ie_onload defer><\/script>");✉
The element named above was found in a context where it is not allowed. This could mean that you have incorrectly nested elements -- such as a "style" element in the "body" section instead of inside "head" -- or two elements that overlap (which is not allowed).
One common cause for this error is the use of XHTML syntax in HTML documents. Due to HTML's rules of implicitly closed elements, this error can create cascading effects. For instance, using XHTML's "self-closing" tags for "meta" and "link" in the "head" section of a HTML document may cause the parser to infer the end of the "head" section and the beginning of the "body" section (where "link" and "meta" are not allowed; hence the reported error).
Line 49, Column 49: character "<" is the first character of a delimiter but occurred as data.
document.write("<script id=__ie_onload defer><\/script>");✉
This message may appear in several cases:
You tried to include the "<" character in your page: you should escape it as "<"
You used an unescaped ampersand "&": this may be valid in some contexts, but it is recommended to use "&", which is always safe.
Another possibility is that you forgot to close quotes in a previous tag.

Just in my own experience, I have gotten insults, condescention, and exasperation from plenty of paid support over the years. I think this is a condition of working with humans, not a condition of whether you pay the humans.Quote:

I have changed the link on my EZ-Page which lists all of my feeds, but.... what about the RSS icon in the address bar in Firefox (or in IE)? Are there other files that need to be changed? For instance, in includes\functions\extra_functions\rss_feed.php, there are many references to "new_products". Do they all need to be changed to "products_new"? What about the SQL? I don't know if I am barking up the wrong tree and these things don't matter, but I could not get my feed to update without changing it. Any thoughts?
For anyone who is having the same trouble... not sure if this is what is supposed to be done, but I did it and it is working.... I went ahead and changed every instance of "new_products" to "products_new" in includes\functions\extra_functions\rss_feed.php and it corrects the problem with the RSS icon in the address bar.Quote:

(there are also instances of it in includes\modules\pages\rss_feed\header_php.php, but I was reluctant to mess with it since the changes to the other file are working.)
craftzombie,
I'm not going to make the changes yet...but I did look to see if my products were updated on the products_new and "some" of the new ones are there....but not all of them....and they are taking a lot longer to update I noticed. So....I'm not quite sure it's an actual fix. For now I just delete the cache files that keep appearing in my root folder and it automatically updates my new_products feed
craft,
Just a quick glance.....look at the differences
new_products
products_new
It's actually skipped a few products in the products_new link
Hmm, strange. I added some new products last week and also a few minutes ago. My subscriptions in Google and Yahoo never updated. After the changes I just made, if I re-subscribe to the new feed, everything is updated, and it shows all of the past updated products as well (I have it set to show 100).Quote:

Hopefully we can find out what is going on soon. I have subscribers that it looks like may be subscribed to the wrong feed (????).
See, if you take a look in that functions file I mentioned above, here is what looks like contradictory code:
case ($feed == 'new_products_random'):
case ($feed == 'new_products'):
$title = TEXT_RSS_PRODUCTS_NEW;
Some of it is new_products, some of it is products_new. Since I am not a programmer, I have no idea if this is supposed to be like this. If you look at the code for "All products", it is always referenced as products_all and never the other way around (at least in that file it isn't - not sure about the others).
Hi April,
I think it's related to the following: Zen Cart has a products_new page and a new_products module. The module is being used for the "New products of the month ...." box.
Unfortunately no :-( Only self-making.Quote:

Tried searching this thread and did not find anything on this... sorry if dup question.
Is this compatible with v 1.3.7 ? I noticed the files affected in the readme are different than what I have, and they don't even seem to match what's in the actual downloaded package:
Affected files
==============
/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/html_header.php
/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_footer.php
In the package
==============
/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/rss_feed/
/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/
/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/
...but no common folder in the package.

Where do you want to use it? I made a parser for xoops, ExpressionEngine and WordPress. Maybe add these parsers in contribute?Quote:

Yes Andrew, removing the file has removed the errors I mentioned but won't removing this file break the module ? :unsure:Quote:

Never mind... got it... OH silly me. Forgot to rename YOUR_TEMPLATE before upload.
It works!
One small issue... I'm pricing by attributes. Any suggestions for how to include those attributes in the feed?
You can not add attributes in the price tag - http://base.google.com/support/bin/a...er=73932&hl=en.Quote:

Hello,
Ive problems to install the sql update. I got every time this error message :
9 statements processed.
ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "" because it already exists
Note: 1 statements ignored. See "upgrade_exceptions" table for additional details.
I have no plan how to fix that.

1. Any ideas on the error (I'm running 1.3.7)
2. Any instructions regarding getting the new products to show up when they are posted?
You update from what version to what version?Quote:

HI,
it is a new installation. I use zen cart 1.3.7.1. I also try the uninstall sql but every time I install it again I got the same error. :-(
regards
Frank
I don't understand you - it is a new installation or updates? If the new, why do you "install the sql update"?Quote:

On the cfg_select_option error on the admin page for RSS, the error seems to relate to the database column inserted labeled set_function where the value is:
The only configuration options where I get the error on the admin pages are where this line appears in the set_function column.Quote:
cfg_select_option(array('news', 'new_products', 'upcoming', 'featured', 'specials', 'products', 'categories')
Only other thing I can think of is that all my database tables have a prefix set during install... say "foo_" in front of each table name, so for instance the "customers" table in my database would be "foo_customers" and so forth.
Any ideas with that info?
Figured it out! YAY!
Because I use a table prefix in database, all the set_function statements:
NORMAL:
Quote:
cfg_select_option(array('news', 'new_products', 'upcoming', 'featured', 'specials', 'products', 'categories'),
Have to include that prefix:
Fixed, running, updating too! YAY!!!Quote:
foo_cfg_select_option(array('news', 'new_products', 'upcoming', 'featured', 'specials', 'products', 'categories'),
Ohh... one last "find" in this research...
Your final configuration option...
When you pull it up in the admin you have options... set in the option select statement above... are TRUE and FALSE. But, in the explanation you indicate "If you don't want caching, set it to 0" and initial setting you have 0 (zero) as the setting.Quote:
(NULL, 'Feed Cache Time', 'RSS_CACHE_TIME', '10', 'Cache Time (in min). If you don\'t want caching, set it to 0', @configuration_group_id, 200, NOW(), NULL, 'cfg_select_option(array(\'true\', \'false\'),');
Hope this helps with debugging this great contribution.
No comments. :wacko: Sorry, but I can't help you.Quote:

HI There
IN the admin control panel there is a space for adding an image
How do i do this? Do i add a URL for an image?
there is no browse button to upload one, so i guess this was this
Are there limitations or restrictions (size)
Thanks
File name. The file can be placed in the directory images/ or in the directory includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/.Quote:

Hi, sorry one more question!
In admin settings I can set to display:
RSS Home Page Feed and
RSS Default Feed
Should these be set to the same thing? I want to display just the last added products or a mixture if possible? I couldn't work out what the "default" actually was and why there would be an option to have two seperate feeds?
HI There
Ok, persevered and image working perfectly now! Many Thanks for your help
As for the feeds I am still a little confused as to RSS Home Page Feed and
RSS Default Feed and what the admin settings for these relate to??
Am i correct in thinking by having TWO seperate choices, the feed will give results from two areas from the site?
It's your choice. RSS is just a tool. How to use - everyone decides.Quote:

It is not. Make in the next version.Quote:

I've looked at the codes and don't see any blank spaces at the end of the lines in error. What am I missing here.
FYI - just under the errors I am seeing the product information.

NO RSS BUTTONS

what did i do wrong?
Hi all,
I just installed the RSS2 Feed V2.1.4,twice,carefully following the instructions.Renamed the (YOUR_TEMPLATE) folder to (classic),the name of the template I am using, used Filezilla to upload,opened the (install.sql) file with Notepad++ and copied the text, then went to Admin>Tools>Install SQL Patches and paste the context into the box and hit send, got a msg. 9 statements processed,then went to (templates>classic>common) and edited the html_header.php file and the tpl_footer.php file as instructed. Then went to homepage ,https://ecmauto.com, and all looks good even have a RSS button at the bottom of every page. All looks good so far--- until I click on the RSS icon, I am taken to a page filled with error messages and nothing else.I return to my homepage and it and all my other pages will display along with several error messages. To correct I run the (uninstall.sql) via cut and past and my site displays correctly with a RSS icon at the bottom of every page,except the home page,and it appears to be working ?? Only I don't have the RSS Feed option in my Admin>config of course.
Any idea on what I did wrong ?
Thanks,Jim

I have been through the thread, and I know it is supposed to be a language file that causes this problem, but I can't seem to find any trailing spaces anywhere:-
XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
Location: http://www.allpaintballsupplies.com/...&feed=products
Line Number 4, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
I wondered if there is a way of locating the elusive space?
All replies are greatly appreciated. I have had the mod working on another website, which makes it more frustrating.
Heathenmagic :smile:
Great contribution, thanks! I've got it installed and it seems everything is worked except the feature RSS feed. Why would just one not be working.
url is http://www.customcreationsunlimited....&feed=featured
Thank you. You are godlike and have saved me a lot of money and effort.
Anyone know how to get Facebook to display the feed image when importing into notes?
