RSS2 Feed Contribution

To partially answer my own question, for some strange reason when I manually enter a feed URL like this:

//localhost/zen-cart/index.php?main_page=rss_feed&feed=categories&cPath=65

..the feed works with the & written as & and this is how the feed link is written in the source of the page. However, when you click on the links to the feeds on the page, the URL isn't escaped...

//localhost/zen-cart/index.php?main_page=rss_feed&feed=categories&cPath=65

And that "normal" link doesn't work.. just a blank page.

This is on IE7. Quite baffled.

Hi,

Forgive me to ask these basic questions as I don't know much about RSS feed. How do we set up the following configuration parameters?

RSS Home Page Feed: (Which one should I use? Where does it appear?)
RSS Default Feed: (Which one should I use? Where does it appear?)
Strip tags: (What is this?)
Categories for Products: (Should I use master or all?)
Use Google NameSpace: (What is this?)

Also, what do we do after installing and setting up this module? How do we make use of it? Thanks in advance.

hi,

i have an error using this mod:
XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
Location: http://mydomain/index.php?main_page=rss_feed&feed=categories
Line Number 28, Column 1:

^
I think this is caused by leading space in my html source but can't figure out what is causing it. anyone found a fix for it?

thanks for any help

Hello. We have installed RSS Feed (same as Rss2 ?) http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_60&products_id=733

Its working on all the product pages but not on the shop/index.php page. Should it work there? The images rotate so I have a feeling that it is not designed to work on that page.

Please advise.

Hi All,
Thanks for reading!

I would like to grab rss feeds from the domain that the feed is currently installed on amd display them on index.php under another domain.

I should say that I really dont know much about any of this and at best so far have just gotten errors.

I dont know how to tell my index.php to grab those rss results or how to tell my index.php how to display the rss results.

Please some help here to get me started.

Thnaks,
John

Нou are mistaken thread. You need rss scroller.

Hi.. I recently upgraded to ZC version 1.3.7. This is the first sqlpatch i've tried to run, and when I copy and paste the install.sql contents and hit Send, I get the following error:

406 Not Acceptable
An appropriate representation of the requested resource /admin/sqlpatch.php could not be found on this server.

Has anyone had a similar problem with sqlpatch after an upgrade? I have searched the forums but only found the 406 error related to other files and so far cannot find a fix for this. Would really like to install this module!

thanks in advance for any help,
Deanna

And several other modules that I did not have any major problems. nor do I have. But I am stuck on this one

THANK YOU SO MUCH

For anyone else having this problem. I finally found what was causing it for me was some blank lines at the end of some custom sidebox language define pages. When these files were loaded the blank lines were loaded up to ahead of the doc declaration, the required first line for this rss mod, i.e no space before. this caused all my troubles.

Check my feed here.

Hi... how do you get the price to show?? I've searched the thread, but only found a couple people that got it work, but they didn't say how. I checked out your feed and do see the price at the bottom.

So... how do you get the price to show (my price is set to "true" already in rss admin), and is it possible to put the price next to the description (and if so, how do you do it?)

my feed is here:

thanks!

PROBLEM SOLVED!!!!!
It is evident that this is VERY picky when coming to blank lines.
The way I solved it was to overwrite the template files over the old ones and now it works.
BUT after playing so many times I screwed up and can not get the Menu in the adminstration. Each time I want to run the SQL gives me error like its install already.
Is there any way to fix this. Thank you in advance for your help

PS: Buy buttons and Pictures are not showing either in firefox or IE 7.
However only in IE 7 is a link for the pictures.

At my site, you can view images with ie7 feer reader. And that´s the problem: independant if the "unallow" command for images, ie7 feed reader is feeding the images!!!!
How can this be disallowed?

any support here?

Any idea why my I get to error page when clicking on RSS?
It was working good before

Thank you

any support here?
You don't need a support - seach in this topic for yur questions. I answered it several times.

The <xml> declaration appearing below a blank line is a big problem. Basically, any space above the opening <?php and closing ?> in an auto-loaded file will cause this to happen.

Andrew, what do you recommend?

Both of the language files in the contribution have an extra blank line after the closing ?>
Removing that might prevent the blank line you're talking about in the generated xml output.

The closing ?> can be skipped altogether if it's the last line of the file, which prevents the "blank line" issue from happening:
