RSS2 Feed Contribution

[lacompagniadelkendo]

Hi,

I've a shop running from several months and i wanted to insert feed rss.

The shop is this --> lacompagniadelkendo.com

I followed the instruction on the readme file, i did backup of course, of both files and db. I copied main files like install.sql on my shop directory and copied every single file of the include folder on the coresponding place of my shop folder.

I did this before on my local website and everything was working. I installed the patch on my shop by copy-paste and i got the following message:

Error: cannot insert configuration_key because it already exists
1 statement ignored. See "upgrade_excempions" table for additional details.

Now...the feed is working since i put this link and i can see feeds --> yourzencart/index.php?main_page=rss_feed

But, when i enter from "configuration" the "rss feed" i can't see anything
I searched throught posts some solution and couldn't find any
Do you have something to propose?
Thanks!!

Have you checked to make sure all the files are in their correct location? There is something not in the right place to be getting that error.

Hi, I have put all files in their correct location end stil geting message:

Hi, countrycharm

I noticed that when I visit my own specials rss feed, it always displayed the same contents for me but not reflect the newly added special products.

Would you please let me know how to setup rss feed add-on to enable it in displaying the new specials?

Best regards,

One more quick question. I want to submit the file to Google's Product Search.
...
Is there any way of using this mod together with Google Product Search?

For this, use another module - Google Base Feeder.

Weird code? Well that's generated by your module, I don't have anything strange in my product description that might affect the display ... I installed the module and checked that everything was installed as it supposed to be.

Really? You looked at the source code? I see this:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="RSS Specials Feed" href="http://www.theoutletseason.com/electronics/index.php?main_page=rss_feed&amp;feed=specials" />

My module generated only this:

and don't ganarate this garbage:

Hi,

Does anyone know if this mod can be modified to create a manufacturers RSS feed? So for example if I have a manufacturer called "Armani" it would produce a feed of all those Armani products...?

Andrew, I would also like to see a product (new_product) feed by
manufacturer. Would be a really useful mod. Thanks for your effort.
RSS feed is a cool tool!

I will add a new parameter - manufacturer_name and manufacturers_id. So you can add this parm to all feeds (products, new-products, specials and so on).

Excellent!

When you have the updated code can you post it on here?

Thanks

Please remind me about this in pm

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.

2. Check for extra white spaces

Hi, countrycharm

Best regards,

• Go to admin/configuration/rss_feed and under RSS Home Page Feed you set it to what you want it to display. Under RSS Default Feed set that to a different setting. That should take care of it.

Hi, countrycharm

Thanks for your help.
I am now using "new_products" under "RSS Default Feed" setting. If I set it to "specials" or "products" would be helpful in getting a new special list when anyone visit my specials rss feed?

Best regards,
