Hi,

I'm not sure yet how to solve this, but I will figure it out sooner or later and share it.

What kind of problem are you talking about?

Hi,

What kind of problem are you talking about?

Hi and thank you for your time Andrew.
Some of us can not get the price to show up on the feed even when it is set to show in configuration. I'm not sure where to look to fix it. Thank You again

hello,

I read the whole post and couldnt find what i was looking for..

I want to add a sidebox that displays RSS Feed from Yahoo news.
I have the URL for the RSS feed, but how can i make it display in a side box with maybe 3 or 4 headlines ?

i installed RSS feed contribution, but not sure if that will help me add the RSS on a sidebox with Yahoo news rss as the content

I may be speaking out of line, but this thread has nothing to do with that. Thus the reason for you not being able to find anything.

This thread is purely about creating RSS feeds of your site so that customers can see updates on their Browser. I use IGgoole and every time I update my site, the information on IGoogle changes. It's neat.

If you have the code from Yahoo to that, you could place it into a blank sidebox. Unfortunately I'm not sure it's that simple.

I just had a look in the Modules section and this may do what you want:

I installed this module and everything is working fine. It show the RSS button but... what about the xml file? The only reason because I installed was because I wanted to have a xml file to use use it in Google Merchant Center.... In Data feeds what I need to put?

Thanks!

Make sure you put in a name in for your output feed file. Here is a picture to go by.

Are you running the latest version 2.1.4 from the downloads, if so yes you miss something. Try un-installing the sql statement and reinstall it again. Run this sql statement code in admin/tools/install sql to un-install it, then reinstall the sql that came with the feed and the updates. If it doesn't un-install we will try something else.
