• 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.

First of all anytime you do a clean install the install.sql has all the update their are needed. The other 2 are just updates if you are running and older version ad need to update to the current version. Now why you 2 are not showing the icon in the web address I'm not sure why as of yet. 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

Download it unzip it upload it to your server root and run it.

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.

Sorry, the .exe file extracts the php file to the chosen location. Have done so now. Many Thanks.

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

Invalid xml declaration.

This version does not support gzip compression! Turn it off in the admin.
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.

Yes, I have the file includes/functions/extra_functions/rss.feed.php loaded. Where should I look within the file?

Thanks, Kim
