RSS2 Feed Contribution

A couple of years ago I had this mod working just perfectly on my 1.3.7.1 and 1.3.8a installs - no problem whatsoever.

A few days ago I decided to install the mod on a 1.3.9h store (I may have been bored and needed something to do .... ) just to find that I am encountering all sorts of problems which I won't specify here.

After analyzing, changing, re-installing etc I have come to the conclusion that this mod is in need of a major revamp to fully comply with the 1.3.9 series.

Sad but true.

If anyone has the time and knowledge to take over from Andrew and redevelop the mod then that would be much appreciated.

It may need a little work but but this module works just fine with 1.3.9h.

OK - I've got version 1.3.9h and want to install this module - what sort of modifications do I need to make in order for it to work with 1.3.9h?

Thanks,

No modifications just read the read me file that comes with it and install it like it says to.

Ok I have installed it on 1.3.9g and it seems to work fine for me

I did have to do a bit of Hacking to get the prices to appear in my browser,
I see a few people asking about this, so if you are interested I'll post my changed file, all i did was add the price to the description field in the header file

Attempted to install Simple SEO Url's but it didn't work. Ran uninstall sql but still appears in Admin>Config; can't find any remnant files anywhere.

ANYWAY....

Attempted to install RSS_Feed but got this error:

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: http://fancygiftwrap.com/index.php?m...&feed=products
Line Number 6, Column 38:<meta name="keywords" content="Baby & Bridal Showers Bases & Assorted Boxes Cello Bags, Clear Cello Bags, Printed Cello Bags, Special Value Cello Wrap Sets Creative Crafting Gift Basket Supplies Holiday Labels & Cards Merchandise & Retail Bags Organza Bags Paper & Plastic Wrap Project Packs Ribbons & Bows Shreds & Tissue Shrink Wrap Twist Ties & Tags Variety & Surprise Sets Wrap Education cellophane gift bags, gift basket supplies, bridal, baby, shower, favor bags, ribbon, bows, shred, online shopping " />
-------------------------------------^

I've read this forum TWICE; checked my files, etc. 3-4 times now and can't resolve this. The only keywords I entered myself are "cellophane gift bags, gift basket supplies, bridal, baby, shower, favor bags, ribbon, bows, shred, online shopping." Where is it being told to use my CATEGORY names as keywords?

Where is the file to fix for this? Line Number 6, Column 38 of what?? And that dashed line ------^ where is it getting that from? Oy....

Really need to get this going...so I could use some fresh eyes on the problem. Been at this one site for almost a week now and I'm behind schedule on others. Help?

Just chiming in in case anyone checks back -- I just installed this on 1.3.9h and it works like a charm. No modifications needed.

i'm probably being a wally but i don't know how to get this to display on an ez page on my site, im very new to rss.

i have followed all the instructions and all is fine, i just literally have no idea how to display the rss feed. when i put the url in my browser (firefox) just tells me to subscribe to the feed. am i doing something wrong?

also i want to submit my feeds to a couple of other sites and they are asking for an .xml file. does this generate and output file?

sorry for the silly questions
