I must have been mighty tired when I posted this picture of the feed. This is a picture of the Google Base feeder. It has nothing to do with Rss feed so please do not go by it. Sorry for posting in the wrong thread.Quote:

I couldn't figure out why what was in there is pretty much what i need but why the module doesn't output it for you.
Oh and also, is the thing i read about rss feeds causing duplicate content and google penalizing your site true ??
Alright I finally figured out why I couldn't easily find what I was looking for.
Basically using safari rss doesn't allow you to view the source in the right way, using firefox allowed me to see the source the way it's supposed to be.
Thought this may help some people.
Thanks for all your help
Hello, i'm having some trouble validating my feed. Apparently the New Products feed is valid, but the Specials and All Product feeds are not valid because there is a duplicate guid value:
<guid isPermaLink="true">http://lemy.co.uk/dunlop-gents-standard-mountain-bike-p-45.html</guid>
These are my feeds:
http://lemy.co.uk/index.php?main_pag...&feed=specials
http://lemy.co.uk/index.php?main_pag...&feed=products
http://lemy.co.uk/index.php?main_pag...d=new_products
Can anyone help me fix this?
Thanks!

Thanks for that Andrew :smile:
I've read back a few dozen pages and tried searching to no avail. Here's my issue:
The feed works, looks great formatted correctly BUT (and there's always a but) the new products feed is sorted backwards, oldest items first so that new products never get to the top.
http://www.stuff4toys.com/index.php?...d=new_products
The items shown were added a year ago, the 4897 items I have added since then never show up.
Best sellers only shows the first item ever sold on the site, not the list of best sellers.
Specials shows nothing
Featured shows the Specials item not the Featured items
Now what? How do I tell what version I am using?

I have searched for blank spaces using the scrip provided by andrew(thanks) and removed them. Anyone has any idea how to prevent that duplication without removing my page?

Hi there,
I've read through as much of these threads as possible and haven't seen any issues like the one I have with the RSS feed.
Previously under 1.3.7 we used this mod fine with no issues to feel our special to affiliated websites. We have now updated to the latest version (clean install) 1.3.8a but with a brand new template.
Site can be found here:
www.f-h-e.com.au
When adding the mod (and having gone through the full process three times now) I am finding a few issues, the main one being that the feed is not being picked up by our affiliate sites using Joomla! (note the old feed from our old 1.3.7 site still works on these Joomla! sites).
Under Safari the RSS page seems to display "ok" as HTTP, and when switched toe "FEED" in the address bar it looks great.
feed://f-h-e.com.au/index.php?main_page=rss_feed&feed=products
In Firefox it will only show as HTTP and all it shows is text (no images or rendering). I am guessing that this will have something to do with why the Joomla! websites are not picking up the feed?
http://f-h-e.com.au/index.php?main_p...&feed=featured
The only thing I have changed from the main install is our template doesn't have a "html_header.php" file. I did write my own and the icon did appear in the address bar, which was great. But eliminate any extra bugs I have taken this away. So the only judge of the feed at the moment is the RSS button at the bottom of the site (which I will remove once it's all working).
If anyone can help it would be much appreciated. I am using the latest version of the Mod from the downloads section.
Daniel
