Hmm, when I put in:in the html_header.php it crashes the site, it just pulls up a blank age. I've also tried closing it out with:Code:<?php echo rss_feed_link_alternate(); // RSS Feed ?
but it still crashes the site.Code:<?php echo rss_feed_link_alternate(); // RSS Feed ? />
Never mind, I figured it out (and kicking myself for being an idiot) :oops: . Thanks for everyone's help!

Another question is how to make the site logo appear in the rss feed page just as your site. What format would be used? I used "http://www.example.com/nikeshoes/includes/templates/pure_orange/images/logo.png" on my local testing site.
I confirmed I have followed everything in the readme file.
Thanks in advance,
Im getting duplicates for the rss feed.
It will list items 2 or 3 times,
Is there a way to stop this. or to specify unique items.
Are you using a custom folder for your template or the default of zen cart? I use a logo.gif. Yours should work if it is in the right folder, and it seems to be.Quote:

Should work, if not let me know.

Best regards,
Is there anyway to show RSS2 feed in Russian.
Right now it doesn't matter in what language you are, the feed will be always showing english.
It is suppose to work with either one Russian or English.Quote:

You wouldn't happen to have the wordpress module installed, would you? I have seen this error on the wordpress on zen thread, somehow the feed is being embedded into a regular zen cart page and not on it's own page.Quote:

lieven23,
First you need to correct the html-errors - http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=ht...idator%2F1.654
Andrew,
I solved the problems, errors and now my page is:
This document was successfully checked as XHTML 1.0 Transitional!
Hi
I downloaded and installed rss_feed_2-1-4.zip
It worked fine until I installed a different template. I re-uploaded the feed files making sure the appropriate file went into my new template folder, which didn't get it working.
I removed all installation files and uninstalled the sql.
Next I uploaded the files and then installed the install.sql. The feed icon is in the footer and generates the feed but I don't know what I'm missing to get it up in the address bar.
The feed icon image is uploaded and in the includes/templates/mytemplate/images folder.
This code
has been placed in /includes/templates/mytemplate/common/html_header.phpCode:<?php echo rss_feed_link_alternate(); // RSS Feed ?>
The rss image is named in configuration.
Any ideas what I may be missing? :frusty:
Ok, so in the meantime I went back and re-re-read the directions and this is step 2
2. Go to Admin->Tools->Install SQL Patches and install install.sql (don't use upload - use copy/paste to install sql).
Now, the first time I had rss mod working I can't remember if I had installed the patches along with the install.sql or not.
So I gave that a try to see it that was what I was missing.
Doing that took me a step backward. I get this error now when I try to do the install.sql
in part (cause it's humongous):
1062 Duplicate entry 'RSS_HOMEPAGE_FEED' for key 'unq_config_key_zen' in: [INSERT INTO zen_configuration (configuration_id, configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, date_added, use_function, set_function)
The uninstall.sql isn't removing the patches I guess.
What is to be done now?
Please help. :(

Hi Andrew I have a little problem for some reason. When my rss feed is set to products, and When I click the Rss Feed icon at the bottom of my page it just brings up the subscribe page with no content beside that. I don't know whats going on. It use to work. I haven't added any new modules. Thanks in advance.

Please excuse my last post - what a stupid rule (ha, ha) - you have to load the files to the template you are using. Sorry for the previous post
Hello , i got a special trouble :blink: , Very headache.
my site is http://www.screambuy.com
RSS2 generate all links like this : <link>http://www.screambuy.com/for-dell-de2200-148v-4400mah-laptop-battery-p-989.html&language=en</link>
But when clicked , my site have no such page .
I notice it should be "&language=en" cause such trouble .
So , how can i remove it ?
I suppose to edit RSS2.PHP : <link><![CDATA[<?php echo HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG; ?>]]></link>
But it seems that impossible .
At present , have to use Robot.txt to prevent bots to visit such wrong link .
Hope that some one can teach me how to solve , MANY THANKS !
Hello, it's me again. I installed this superb looking Mod a few months back, but have never managed to get it to work.
The error I get is the following:
Invalid xml declaration.
Line: 1 Character: 4
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
I have read through each and every page of this thread. I understand that I need to look for spaces and extra lines in the language and other files. I have done so manually, but cannot find what is wrong. I see from looking at the source code of my RSS feed - http://www.cadwyngifts.com/rss_feed.html - that there is a space right at the begining. The problem is I do not know what I need to change and in which file to get rid of this space.
The script that is refered to here - http://ecommerce-service.com/downloa...xtra_space.zip - does not seem to be available...
Thanks a_berezin for this mod! :smile:

This contribution is really going to help me, except my site's a catalogue or directory where nothing is sold.
I had no trouble removing the Buy Now button in Admin and I thought this would also remove the Buy Now link.
Not so!
A text link with the words Buy Now still appears in the feed. This link takes my users to the checkout which under normal circumstances is inaccessible on my site.
Being not too PHP savvy, can some kind person tell me how I can remove the Buy Now link please.

Hello all,
I have just finished the RSS install. It's fantastic!.
However I need to remove the 'Date Added' from each product.
I tried a_berezin's method on page 50 of this thread (post #500)
But unfortunately this didn't work for me?? :lamo:
I contaced a_berezin via PM and he said it should work. But it didn't.
I added a new test product and checked to see if the date added was removed from the RSS but it wasn't :(
Does anyone know why this doesn't work? Can anyone confirm that this does work? Anyone have any more suggestions?
Regards :smile:

Paste this script in your admin/tools/install sql patches and it will take care of it for you. Andrew gave this code a while back. Make sure you delete your cache again if their is a Rss feed there. It will not cache anymore of your RSS Feeds and will stay up to date from now own.Quote:

Do you want the date to be removed all together, or do you just want the date to be today's date on every product?Quote:

Make sure you uploaded all files to there correct location. If you have a override system in place, make sure you have renamed templates/ YOUR_TEMPLATE folder to the name you are using.

Best regards,
Hi Countrycharm,
Maybe you have the answer to my question which has gone unanswered. The option to remove the Buy Now button in the Admin section only removes the button, not the link. Do you know where I should go to remove the link? I'm amazed that the option doesn't do both.

I have the Show Buy Now Button option set to false in RSS admin.
For a while my feeds continued to show a text link with "Buy Now" where the button was.
I just rechecked my feeds and they are now showing the Buy Now button again, even though it's still set to False in admin.
I just cleared the cache and it made no difference.
My site doesn't sell anything. When people view the site they can't access the checkout. However, if they click the Buy Back Button on my feeds they will be taken to the checkout. I don't want this to happen.
It seems that the Show Buy Back button option may be buggy and I'd like to hard code the button and text link out. I don't have a good grasp of PHP so I really don't know where to look.
You can see the feeds here: http://trainzresources.com
the RSS link is on the left hand side.
Other than that the module is working perfectly.
John
Looks like their is something not exactly right. When I ticking off the buy now button in admin it does not show up on my feed at all. If you have applied the patch you would not have to clear your cache anymore. Try installing this patch here and make sure you delete your cache RSS Feed again. Go to admin/configuration/rss_feed and tick off the buy now button if it on and let see if it show anymore, if it does we will have to check something else.Quote:

Hi CountryCharm,
Thanks for responding so quickly. I applied the patch and set the cache time to Zero. the button was still set to false.
The fed on my site is perfect. No Buy Now Button and no link.
I can't check the feeds on my home page because Google's feed thingy is playing up. I'm sure everything will be okay however.
Thanks for your time and help. Greatly appreciated.

Would you give me a link to your site. The Default Products Limit is 100 as you know. You can increase it like you did but it will take a awful long time to load. Mine is set at 250 and it takes a while. This is completely up to you but if it take that long to load you know the customer is not going to stick a round long enough for it to load. I have found for a balance set it a 175 and it will load a lot faster.Quote:

I'm not sure why it is not showing the price. I just looked at mine and it is not showing the price either for some reason even though I have Generate Products Price set to true. I have to look into this a little deeper to see why. I just went to your site and the load time is 37 seconds for your feed. I think that is way to long. I see another problem also, or you may have did it on purpose. I don't see the feed icon in your browser when I go to your web site. That is where you have a choice on new products feed, featured feed, all products feed and so on.Quote:

Well, I read about this types of errors and it says that you get this error when you have a whitespace or blank line in the code.
Here is that post if anyone is interested:
http://www.geeklog.net/faqman/index.php?op=view&t=38
The problem is I do not see the blank line. My code is below. The section highlighted in red is supposed to be the offending line, but I do not see a blank space at the end.
Does anyone else see it?

Check and make sure if you use a folder override that the templates/your_template folder was uploaded correct.Quote:

Fantastic stuff, and please let me thank you again for all the support you are offering everyone here.
I only struck one problem installing the module on what I consider to be a complex Zen cart site. Firstly I'm running the site in Showcase mode (like a catalogue without prices or shopping cart). Secondly, I have a dozen other mods installed including "Product Book", numerous empty side boxes, Adsense etc.
The problem I had was in the installation package. There was an SQL patch and two update patches. Not knowing what they were for, I installed the main patch, then the updates. Nothing worked. I reinstalled the module without the updates and it worked fine. There's nothing in the docs as far as I can see that tell what the update patches are actually for.
Thanks again. Your help was invaluable.

- The templates directory is named correctly. I have heaps of stuff in there and everything else is working fine.
- I'm a bit confused about the SQL files. Update 2.0.2 has an older date than install.sql so I didn't run it. I did on the first attempt to get the script to work and ran into trouble. Without it, the script works fine.
- Update 2.1.3 has the same date as install,sql so I didn't run it either, thinking that it may be updating an earlier version.
- As far as I can see, there's nothing in the docs about either update.
- The rest of the modules files are all in the right place.
- There's no gif or png file for the little icon. How is it generated?
I can't offer any more info I'm sorry.

If everything is installed correctly it should show up. Maybe this is a question that Andrew should answer.
I really want to try to use this script to sort out the error message that I get:
http://ecommerce-service.com/downloa...xtra_space.zip
But it is not there. Site is down for maintanance. Anyone know where I can find a copy of this file to download please... :dontgetit
From clicking on the above link, I simply get taken to another Zen Cart page, and then when I click again, it downloads a .exe file NOT a zip. Please let me know the correct location of the found_extra_space.php file so that I can download it.Quote:

countrycharm you are my saviour. It worked a treat and my RSS file shows up perfectly now :D - if anyone else is having the same problems, please use this download. It simple, and works perfectly. I had 21 bad files. 1 click fixed them all :smile:
For everyone who received an error
This version does not support gzip compression! Turn it off in the admin.Quote:
Invalid xml declaration.
Pro version works with the enabled gzip.
One more quick question. I want to submit the file to Google's Product Search. The location of my feed is here - http://www.cadwyngifts.com/rss_feed.html - but google require me to specify a data feed file name in one of the following formats
- txt
- .xml
- .gz
- .zip
- .Z
- .bz2
Is there any way of using this mod together with Google Product Search? The only way I can think of doing it is by saving the source code of http://www.cadwyngifts.com/rss_feed.html -and saving it as a .xml document and uploading manually via FTP to my server, and using that, but obviously this will not be updated when I add new products :huh:
If the above doesn't make a lot of sense, Sorry I am a beginner.
Glad I could help.Quote:
