RSS2 Feed Contribution

I didn't get any errors running that....which is odd since I had 2.1.3 installed previously.

That's what I thought, now everything should work great, just clean out your cache directory of rss_feed_a7f7f77f files if you have any, and your all set.

BTW...the only reason I upgraded was because I wanted to get rid of all the RSS entries in my file manager up on the server. Did you delete yours after this install or did they just go away?....cause mine are still there.

Looks like you answered my question as I posted.

All right, since the upgrade it has not once put new products into the New Products feed. Also, my choices for the option "Feed Cache Time" is "True, False"

I just installed this RSS mod, and everything looks like it is installed correctly except for the following two things:

1) The instructions say the following, but the file in step 4. does not have any head tags to put the line between, and 5. seems to be optional but I do not understand what to do with 6.
4. You can add to html_header.php somewhere beetwen <head> and </head> tags:
<?php echo rss_feed_link_alternate(); // RSS Feed ?>
5. You can add to tpl_footer.php or where you want:

<div id="RSSFeedLink"><?php echo rss_feed_link(RSS_ICON); ?></div>

6. The CSS/XSL files are sent from /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/ 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*.xsl // are always loaded and at least ONE should contain site-wide properties.

2) I do not know how to get the actual subscription to appear (the images). I think this is what the above three instructions are all about, but do not understand how to make them work.

Please help,

Thank you in advance.

I can help you with 5 (sorta) you have to find the tpl_footer.php file. In that file you'll see codes that look similar. They are the codes that tell the footer to show what it shows at the bottom of all of your pages. Add that code in there where you think it would look good (I can't give you an exact answer on that, but if you just read a few of the codes you'll see). That itself will give you the RSS image at the bottom of the page.

In my case...I have all that working....I just can't get the RSS to update...lol

Just a quick update on my status. I tried uninstalling the sql queries...and then re-installing them. That still didn't work. It's not updating my new products at all. And the RSS CACHE TIME is still a True or False Option.

Thanks. I tried what you said, and got "Fatal error: Call to undefined function rss_feed_link() in /home/.crumb/elishama3/phoenixflightpublications.com/includes/templates/theme039/common/tpl_footer.php on line 88"
and I am not sure why. Please help.

Thanks in advance.

Lost me there....but...I'm going to ask a dumb question....

Did you run the install.sql?

elishama3, in includes/templates/your_template/common/html_header.php, you should have the <head> tags you are looking for. At the very bottom of that page you should see these two lines:

</head>
<?php // NOTE: Blank line following is intended: ?>

add the code just above the</head> tag, like this:

<?php echo rss_feed_link_alternate(); // RSS Feed ?>
</head>
<?php // NOTE: Blank line following is intended: ?>
