RSS2 Feed Contribution

[craftzombie]

craft,

Just a quick glance.....look at the differences

new_products

products_new

It's actually skipped a few products in the products_new link

Hmm, strange. I added some new products last week and also a few minutes ago. My subscriptions in Google and Yahoo never updated. After the changes I just made, if I re-subscribe to the new feed, everything is updated, and it shows all of the past updated products as well (I have it set to show 100).

The reason I stumbled onto this is because I have Ultimate SEO Urls installed and since nothing was updating, I thought maybe that had something to do with it. When I went into the admin seo config. to remove changes made to the new products page, I noticed the difference in spelling and one thing led to another....

Hopefully we can find out what is going on soon. I have subscribers that it looks like may be subscribed to the wrong feed (????).

See, if you take a look in that functions file I mentioned above, here is what looks like contradictory code:

case ($feed == 'new_products_random'):
case ($feed == 'new_products'):
$title = TEXT_RSS_PRODUCTS_NEW;

Some of it is new_products, some of it is products_new. Since I am not a programmer, I have no idea if this is supposed to be like this. If you look at the code for "All products", it is always referenced as products_all and never the other way around (at least in that file it isn't - not sure about the others).

Hi April,
I think it's related to the following: Zen Cart has a products_new page and a new_products module. The module is being used for the "New products of the month ...." box.

Andrew, can you recommend a reader then that does support price, images etc et?

Unfortunately no :-( Only self-making.

I think the price could be included in the description? It now includes a picture.

And you don't need to be rude. If you are getting that frustrated with our questions, maybe contributing things isn't for you.

Nice! Don't use my rube contributions and dont ask your stupid questions.

THEN DON'T WORK THERE.

If you think that I am WORKING THERE, you can pay me for it?

Especially for those of you in readmi written:

Installation of this contribution is done at your own risk.

I am not an RSS expert

If you do not know anything about the instrument, not using it - it's dangerous. To drive a car you need to learn to drive, to study the rule. Is not enough to require other solutions to your own problems.

No problem.. onwards to learn more about creating
my own then.

Hi Paul,

No New Products module installed for me, so I'm not sure whats going on. Not much help here anyway.

I guess we should all leave then. God forbid any of us come here for help.

Perhaps I shouldn't be using a contribution that doesn't work properly anyway. Goodbye and thanks for all of your "help".

Tried searching this thread and did not find anything on this... sorry if dup question.

Is this compatible with v 1.3.7 ? I noticed the files affected in the readme are different than what I have, and they don't even seem to match what's in the actual downloaded package:

Affected files
==============
/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/html_header.php
/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_footer.php

In the package
==============

/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/rss_feed/
/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/
/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/images/

...but no common folder in the package.
