RSS2 Feed Contribution

[Grace38]

This was nice and easy to install and works just great.

One thing though which i am having a problem with.

How do i remove the date a product was added to my shop from the RSS feed - I would rather the date a product was added is not visible.

Is this possible to remove ?

Replace

date('r', strtotime($products->fields['products_date'])), 

by

false, 

So, code must be:

      $rss->rss_feed_item($products->fields['products_name'],
                          $link,
                          array('url' => $link, 'PermaLink' => true),
                          false,
                          $products_description,
                          $rss->_clear_url($products->fields['products_image']),
                          zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_REVIEWS,'products_id=' . $products->fields['products_id'] . $additionalURL, 'NONSSL', false),
                          (RSS_AUTHOR == ''? STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS . " <" . STORE_OWNER . ">" : RSS_AUTHOR),
                          false,
                          false,
                          $xtags
                          );

Has anybody got this contribution working the Ultimate SEO URLs contribution. The link that it creates is a pure Zen Cart link and I'd like it to use the URL format that is search engine friendly.

Andrew has said this contribution uses built in Zen Cart functions but it must not be using zen_href_link to create the link as this has been modified on my site to produce teh SEF URLs.

Thanks

Andy

OK - probably me being a dumb@ss, but I've installed everything, placed the code in the footer (as I had a problem with the page disappearig if I put it in the header).

Page now displays OK, when I click 'view source' the code is present, but I cannot find the rss link aywhere on any of my pages so far.

Any ideas?

Cheers

Nick.

Hello Nick,

In your admin - Configuration/RSS Feed. Did you set this up?

RSS Image: gif
RSS Image Name: rss

Check my website link below and take a look at my rss feed.

Just looked with fresh eyes - I've missed most of the code out of the footer! D'oh! I'll sort in a while and that should fix it hopefully.

That'll teach me to go to bed at a sensible time!

OK...., checked the tpl_footer file and I did appear to get it right - it appears like this:

<?php
require(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory('footer.php'));
?>

<?php
if (!isset($flag_disable_footer) || !$flag_disable_footer) {
?>

<?=zen_image(DIR_WS_TEMPLATE.'images/paypal.gif','','108px','49px')?>
<li><?php if (EZPAGES_STATUS_FOOTER == '1' or (EZPAGES_STATUS_FOOTER == '2' and (strstr(EXCLUDE_ADMIN_IP_FOR_MAINTENANCE, $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'])))) { ?></li>
<li><?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_ezpages_bar_footer.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_ezpages_bar_footer.php'); ?></li>
<?php } ?>
</ul>
<!--bof- site copyright display -->
<p><?php echo FOOTER_TEXT_BODY; ?>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>
<!--eof- site copyright display -->

<?php
} // flag_disable_footer
?>

<!--bof RSS Feed --><div id="RSSFeedLink"><?php echo rss_feed_link(RSS_ICON); ?>
</div>
<!--eof RSS Feed -->


Underneath that, I have my Google Analytics code.

However, when I go into my site and right click/ view page source, the bottom of the file then looks like this:

<!--footer part start -->
<div id="footer">


<img src="includes/templates/Drop6/images/paypal.gif" alt="" width="108px" height="49px" /> <li></li>
<li></li>
</ul>

<!--eof- site copyright display -->



<!--bof RSS Feed --><div id="RSSFeedLink">


(it seems to miss out most of the RSS feed code). Anyone have any ideas?

Cheers

Thank you very much that works and gives me todays date instead of the date a product was added which is perfect and what i want.

I only just popped in today and saw your reply otherwise i would have did this sooner and thanked you sooner.

Much appreciated.
