1. Bug fixes (Thanks to Paulm);
2. Add more <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml";
3. Add extended RSS-title (Thanks to Paulm for this idea);

You don't understand me. I do not ask "how?".

True, I already had doubts about that part of my comments soon after posting.

I myself know this very well and know perfectly my own rss feed code.

That appears to be very true

Thanks a lot for the update! I updated and did some quick tests, and as far as I can see it works great

First of all: THANK YOU, ANDREW FOR ALL YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS

I have 2 questions:
1) The button "buy now" seems to don´t work for me (lates version of the mod installed)
2) Do you think is convenient to disallow rss_feed for robots to avoid duplicate content?

Another think:
Checkin validation of feed at Feed Validator this is the result:

This feed is valid, but interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.

• line 23, column 0: description should not contain onmouseover attribute [help]
  
  <input type="hidden" name="cart_quantity" value="1" /><input type="hidden" n ...
  
• line 23, column 0: description should not contain onmouseout attribute [help]
  
  <input type="hidden" name="cart_quantity" value="1" /><input type="hidden" n ...
  
• line 36, column 2: Missing atom:link with rel="self" [help]

The BUY NOW button only appears to work in FF, not IE...

I'm confused...

I just downloaded the RSS feed and there were two SQL files. One called install and the other called update_2_0_2. I got the first one installed (copy and pasted like the instructions said) but the second one I keep getting errors. I tried copy and past via Zen Cart SQL patch uploader and I even tried to just upload the file.

The error i get is:

1062 Duplicate entry 'RSS_HOMEPAGE_FEED' for key 2
in:
[INSERT INTO zen_configuration (configuration_id, configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES (NULL, 'RSS Home Page Feed', 'RSS_HOMEPAGE_FEED', '', 'RSS Home Page Feed', @configuration_group_id, 8, NOW(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(\'news\', \'new_products\', \'upcoming\', \'featured\', \'specials\', \'products\', \'categories\'),'), (NULL, 'RSS Default Feed', 'RSS_DEFAULT_FEED', '', 'RSS Default Feed', @configuration_group_id, 8, NOW(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(\'news\', \'new_products\', \'upcoming\', \'featured\', \'specials\', \'products\', \'categories\'),');]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

ok, second part of my problem...

I thought I could still get it to work even without the patch, but no such luck. Not sure if my settings are correct but I installed the RSS in my footer, clicked on it and got this error message..

XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
Location: http://barkandstuff.com/shop/index.php?main_page=rss_feed&feed=categories
Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

any help would be much appreciated.

install.sql is for fresh installations. update_2_0_2.sql is for upgrading from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2...

I can't understand... What is your setting for "RSS Managing Editor"?
