RSS2 Feed Contribution

[a_berezin]

Hi Woody,

But when migrated to ZC 1.3x the News Manager mod did not come with

News Manager work in 1.3.7.

Does your RSS mod have built-in support to create an RSS feed for ez-pages?

Of course not. Standart ez-pages so EZ (easy), that don't support creation/modification date, multi-language, seo and so on. So I feel foolish and wrong to create rss-channels for ez-pages.
You are not going to create rss-channels for other information pages: Shipping & Returns, Privacy Notice, Conditions of Use, Gift Certificate FAQ and greate Page 2 Page 3, Page 4.
rss is not a panacea.

I just made a relevant post to http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?p=444712
In that thread 'Studeo' has suggested some possible method/code to support a RSS feed for ez-pages.

No comments.

I see your mod supports the 'News & Articles Mgmt' mod.

Yes, because it is the news system.

Does your RSS mod support the "Infopages" mod (as used in Zen Cart 1.2x)?

Of course not!!! I already forgot what is zen-1.2.

I ask since "ez-pages" which is built into Zen Cart 1.3x is based on the"Infopages" mod.

How it correlated?????

P.S. I developed ez-pages to normal levels adding multilanguage, date of creation/modification and seo-suppot (title, keywords, description). This "x-pages" supported by RSS Feed, but not this version. I can add rss fo stadart ez-pages, but I do not think that this should be done. Prove to me that I am wrong.

Andrew and all,

Here is something I have noticed with this contribution....I don't know if it's a bug or a simple configuration setting.

PROBLEM: When you go to the RSS link for NEW PRODUCTS, it is not taking you to the new products which were added into our store. It appears that it's taking you to a list of the latest products PURCHASED in our store.

RSS LINK: http://www.mjmmagic.com/store/rss_fe...d=new_products

For example, if you were to purchase something from us, and then go to that link above, your items would be listed at the time, even though you may have purchased something that was added into our store years ago.

Any idea why that may be happening?

Could someone help me with a few problems?

1). When I view the feed for All Products I get the following error:

My feed reader reports no feed present.

IE7 gives the following error:

Internet Explorer cannot display this feed
Internet Explorer cannot display this feed because it uses an unsupported communication Protocol.

This was working fine until my catalog hit about 700 products. I know this is a timeout issue but how would I change the timeout so that I can set the default products limit to include every product in my store (which will eventually be over 4000). Is it something to do with max_execution_time in the apache settings?
I relalise this is not very practical for buyers but I really need the All Products feed to show everything.

2). The Buy Now button is there but doesn't link to anything (just an image).

3). No prices are shown in the feeds.

Apart from these very fixable (I hope) issues, this is a fantastic add-on.

Many thanks go to Andrew

Ok, forget about all the above problem. After 5 hours studying, I can make all of the above problem solved.. Thanks God

Care to share your solutions with the rest of us?

First of all I would like to say thank you to Andrew for the great contribution. RSS is certainly a very important part of e-commerce.

I have managed to install the contribution and it is working somewhat. I have one strange bug to report, if in fact it is a bug at all, as it may just my settings.

I have set up the default feeds as "New Products" and I am generating a feed for some, but not all of the new products. Products will only appear on the feed if I: a) update the number of products on an existing listing; or b) the product is duplicated, then modified from an existing listing. If I input a new listing from scratch, it does not appear in the feed.

I hope this makes sense.

[hillbilliz]

Sorry. Strike the above comment. It has started displaying all the New Products now. I changed the "Default Products Limit" from the default 100 to a blank.

Again thanks you to everyone working on improving this mod.

THis mod was working fine until I installed the new version. Now I get this error:
