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

Yes, please post.

Zen Cart 1.3.9h
semi-fresh install (store rebuilt; was zen cart, then wordpress, now zen again)

Installed addons are:
Apsona Shop Manager
Checkout By Amazon
Enhanced Who's Online
Auto Tweet
ZC Backup

http://f a n c y g i f t w r a p.com

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?

Check for extra white spaces. I do not know which of your files contain the error? Look through them and Replace the files ending
?>
by
// EOF

I have a script that Andrew gave me if your interested. The link is here.
Download it and run it to check for extra white spaces. Down load it and extract it, and up-load it to your server, run the script like this. http://www your.com/found_extra_space.php to check for white spaces of all you file on your site.

Thanks so much for the response! I hope we can find it ~ I NEED that feed!

Uhm...can we try that link again? I got a page not found. GAHHHH or it is me the internet hates today? LOL



Thanks again,

Sorry about that. You can download it from here.

Alas, no joy. There were 11 files with extra space @ the bottom; fixed all, but feed still spits the same error message.



Forgot about the Module Manager. Still have that addon installed too--forgot to list it above, but I'll dump it soon. Still loading product to the cart. zzzzzzzz

Hopefully, Andrew will pop in soon and put his expert eye on this thing too.

Thanks so much for helping. Holla if you think of anything else! I appreciate the time you took to try!

what happens if you change the category name from

Baby & Bridal Showers

to Baby and Bridal Showers

(just try it and see if it moves the error along a bit, as & should be converted to &amp; for xml, I think?)

I went to your site and I agree with nigelt74.

Brilliant! That never occurred to me! lol I did a couple at a time and refreshed the error page. Hilarious...it 'walked' across the screen.

And now we have a new message:

XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity
Location: http://fancygiftwrap.com/index.php?m...&feed=products
Line Number 24, Column 1:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
^

At least now I/we know it's tracking along and responds to my action. If only I knew enough to figure out where it's getting the data from.

I'm still looking for it...the end product (the feed) is beautifully done and worth it. I'll have to look back at one of countrycharm's posts too as I only want a couple of feeds.

Thanks guyz...keep pondering! I'm so grateful for the clues and your help!

what have you altered from the default as the xml should be the first line NOT the 24th

when i look at your page via opera i see the following

21: <script type="text/javascript" src="includes/templates/ashley_pink/jscript/jscript_easySlider.js"></script>
22: <script type="text/javascript" src="includes/templates/ashley_pink/jscript/jscript_jquery.js"></script>
23: </head>
24: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

Have you hacked the RSS file trying to add your template and theme?

If so remove it and return it to the original condition, this is meant to be seen in a feed reader not in a browser, so adding the html stuff kills it
