Hi,
I can't see anything at http://www.topalways.com/rss_feed.html?feed=specials
No any data

Hello,Anderw,

Happy New Year!
thanks for your reply.

The above Url works in IE, but not in FF. Could you please check for me in IE?

Appreciated again.

Same result in IE 6 - no any data. This is the game?

Hi, Andrew,

NO, NO...
Really sorry for that. it really works in IE7.0, but some error exist.
Sorry again.

Seems that my RSS has some problem now. I tried to uninstall & reinstall without any error. but when typing in FF or IE6, errors still exist, can not open.

Sincerely hope you can check www.topalways.com for me?
Thanks very much!

OK im stumped. I've used this wonderful addon for about 6-7 months. On about 9/17 the feeds stopped working. All I seem to get is blank pages in FF and a

XML document must have a top level element.
Line: 0 Character: 0

in IE8. On my iGoogle homepage the feed does show the headlines up to the 9/27 date. I do have a large amount of items that have been throu the store. it stopped showing on item 943 and im up to 960 now.
I have read this entire thread and updated to the latest version and add the 2 hot fixes. Ive been throu every /language/ file and removed all extra spaces and returns.
What is seems like to me is that it is sending a cached file like was mentione in a few posts. However I didn't have file cacheing turn on in the config files. I did search the server for rss_* files but didnt find any that had a bunch of numbers behind it. I do have root access to the server. I did turn on the file cacheing since I started trouble shooting.
My question is, could these be cached somewhere else? maybe in the DB or under a different filename?
Thanks

Grace38,

/includes/pages/rss_feed/header_php.php
line ~516
Replace

date('r', strtotime($products->fields['products_date'])), 

by

false, 

So, code must be:

      $rss->rss_feed_item($products->fields['products_name'],
                          $link,
                          array('url' => $link, 'PermaLink' => true),
                          false,
                          $products_description,
                          $rss->_clear_url($products->fields['products_image']),
                          zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_REVIEWS,'products_id=' . $products->fields['products_id'] . $additionalURL, 'NONSSL', false),
                          (RSS_AUTHOR == ''? STORE_OWNER_EMAIL_ADDRESS . " <" . STORE_OWNER . ">" : RSS_AUTHOR),
                          false,
                          false,
                          $xtags
                          ); 

Thank you very much that works and gives me todays date instead of the date a product was added which is perfect and what i want.

I only just popped in today and saw your reply otherwise i would have did this sooner and thanked you sooner.

Much appreciated.

Hi,
Thanks for a great mod.

It works fine, however the main_page=rss_feed&feed=new_products does not show new products(it's stuck on a particular product and does not update), however the main_page=rss does show all the products including new products.

Can someone please let me know where I may be wrong.

All,

I have installed the mod - sorted out the xml parser issues but I have the following query.

The installation instructions refer to:

/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/html_header.php

I do not have a file called html_header.php in COMMON, this file resides in RSS_FEED.

If I paste anywhere in html_header.php the code "<?php echo rss_feed_link_alternate(); // RSS Feed ?>" then I get an error or blank screen.

Feeds work ok with "<?php echo rss_feed_link_alternate(); // RSS Feed ?>" pasted in /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/common/tpl_header.php

Except that in IE7 it does not recognise there is a feed on the page - but when you paste the feed url in the address bar - it reads fine!

I would very much appreciate peoples help in the following areas:

1. where am i supposed to place code: <?php echo rss_feed_link_alternate(); // RSS Feed ?>
2. Where does html_header.php correctly reside
3. Help me get it to work in IE7

many thanks

regards
Andy

Hi, Andrew,

Please help!

On my site www.topalways.com, SEO was enabled, and the .html at the end of Urls were all removed, just like this:
www.topalways.com/aaa-bbb-cccc/

After installing Rss2, found the Urls of product name is www.topalways.com/aaa-bbb-cccc
the problem is that the slash '/' at the end of Url is missing.
however, image urls is okay,www.topalways.com/aaa-bbb-cccc/

Any suggestion would be appreciated. thanks.
