RSS2 Feed Contribution

Okay, some more questions.

I'll use my Best Sellers page as the example:

1. The first product repeat itself.
2. The title is showing "Specials" instead of "Best Sellers"

For an even better example of products repeating themselves, take a look at my Specials feed.

Nevermind #2 above, there is an error in /includes/functions/extra_functions/rss_feed.php.

TEXT_RSS_SPECIALS is repeated under Best Sellers and should be TEXT_RSS_BEST_SELLERS.

Okay, I have been looking at other members that have this modification installed and my original observation is still valid (and it's broken).

My URL window contains http://mysite.com/index.php?main_page=rss_feed**&feed=categories in it when you click the link and it should only be http://mysite.com/index.php?main_page=rss_feed&**feed=categories.

How do I get the <a> code in the header to NOT include the & characters??
I can't understand what you want from me? Do you want to remove - away. And I also can't understand about what "<a> code in the header" you talk.

   I can't help you - I don't see anything on your site.

Is it possible (and not too difficult) to add one of the define pages to the feed? For example, I used the "About Us Page" mod to create some define pages, one of them being a "News" page. I would like people to have the ability to add this page to their subscription. Can it be done?

Sure. To do this, you need to adjust the script.

Sorry, I was understanding you wrong. My apologies!

Do you see anything at this link: Specials? There are ten listings on the page, but one product is listed 7 times.

Yes, that part is quite obvious.

Now I see. I think I know what's wrong.

Ok.. I'm very very new to rss feeds and I'm completely lost... I installed the mod and I got the link to show up on the page.. but now what.. how do I get products into it? What do I do with it.

I know.. stupid questions.. but I've been trying to hours to figure it out and I'm lost :frusty:

hello Andrew,
How to enable the RSS to clean up the illegal character in the product description section ?
I saw there is a " function _clear_url($str) " .
But it seems dont work for the current RSS. How to enable it ?

Kind Regards

Hi adam9110,
Set "Strip tags" to 'true'.

Now I see. I think I know what's wrong.

Have you had a chance to look into this? I am wanting to use these feeds for business, but would like to correct the product repetition issue...

Thanks!

I have installed the mod ver 2.1.3 and configured it, and I know all the files are there I checked, and the RSS link shows up in my footer but no matter what firefox, IE they both open up blank pages, no content, can someone please tell me what I am doing wrong?

as a side note every time someone click on the RSS link it creates a file in my cache directory the file name is rssfeed_assdkj567898679034kjh56hg678434j3
and this is what is in the file;

<rss version="2.0" xmlns:g="http://base.google.com/ns/1.0" xmlns:c="http://base.google.com/cns/1.0" xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom">

any help would be great, I think somethings wrong!

Ironically, I just read all 26 pages of this thread (learned a few new things while at it)....and the WHOLE REASON I started reading this thread is the last post by colemanpa.....

My RSS is working perfectly....but I'm getting a TON of those RSS files in my file directory on my server....is it okay to delete them or are they needed? Better yet....what are they?

Wow! I wanted to have the ability to add the RSS feed option to my website and didn't know where to begin. Until I found this mod by Andrew! Thanks so much for the contribution. I have been working on it and made some progress today. Now I have a question.

I have 3 product categories that have sub-categories:
(1) baby
(2) jewelry
(3) misc

When I generate category feeds, the first category title shows as "baby" with the sub-categories below it. However, the feeds for the next two categories also show "baby" as the title of the category. If you click on the "baby" title in the jewelry feed, it does point to the jewelry category page. Likewise, if you click on "baby" in the misc feed, it goes to the misc category page.

Can you tell me where to look to correct this? I am new to this and not totally familiar with how the codes works.

Thanks.

in case you need to look at it.

I am still soooo lost! :blink: I have read all these pages in this thread and looked all over the place. I can get the little rss icon on my store with no problem.. but I can't figure out what to do from there... how do I generate a feed?

This seems like such a silly thing I'm sure.. but I can't figure it out.. I'm loosing my mind!! :cry:

Once you have the mod installed correctly, there is nothing else you need to do other than run your store like normal. When you add new items to your shop or when you add new items to your specials page, the people subscribed to your feed will be notified. "How do I generate a feed?" ---- if you mean in terms of creating one like you would a newsletter or something, no thats not the way it works. There is nothing for you to generate simply for feed purposes. Everything is generated by you just running your shop. Its like a feed for a blog.... I write a new blog post, I don't do anything to the feed itself, my subscribers are notified of the new post. Simple. The hard part is getting the Zen Cart feed to work. My blog was simple... this feed... not so simple. (at least for me and for many others on this board)
