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:

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?

Thanks,

Try this script and see if it helps remove the white space.
Download it unzip it upload it to your server root and run it.

but that didn't worked.

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

Hi Countrycharm,

Just a quick update on my site. I just uploaded a heap of new content. For a while there it didn't look like Google's RSS module was working, because the old content stayed there for an hour or so. Then 'Bingo', out of the blue, the new content appeared with no buy now button just as I wanted.

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.

John

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 - 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

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

If the above doesn't make a lot of sense, Sorry I am a beginner.
