RSS2 Feed Contribution

I keep getting this error:

XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
Location: http://www.allpaintballsupplies.com/rss_feed.html?product%20s_id=52&feed=products
Line Number 4, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

I'm using Zen 1.3.7 and have tried almost all of the RSS feed downloads available on the zen downloads. Anyone have a clue what that is?

I have been through the thread, and I know it is supposed to be a language file that causes this problem, but I can't seem to find any trailing spaces anywhere:-

XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
Location: http://www.allpaintballsupplies.com/...&feed=products
Line Number 4, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

I wondered if there is a way of locating the elusive space?

All replies are greatly appreciated. I have had the mod working on another website, which makes it more frustrating.

Interesting, I'm getting the error at line 3 column one. I wonder if there is a method to the madness?

Also, are we looking for spaces at the end of any line, or just the last line in the file?

Actually, it seems my error is slightly different as the word external isn't included.

XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity
Location: http://doubledogdeal.com/index.php?main_page=rss_feed&feed=products&products_id=2
Line Number 3, Column 1:

After checking all of my add-on files, I finally traced my carriage returns down to where I edited the header to allow transparent pngs that work with IE 5&6. Also, the line number thing is just in relation to how many carriage returns you have to hunt down.

This is a great add-on and worth the hunt!

Hello. I am sure I had this working at one point, not after changing servers it is not working any longer in IE.

In Firefox, all looks perfect. Styling is right on, images etc included.

In IE 6 and IE 7 there is no styling applied. I just see what looks like code.

Firefox:

IE 6 or IE 7:

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Sounds like a great mod but I've got a problem when I install it. I get the following error message when viewing my store:

Warning: Variable passed to each() is not an array or object in public_html/includes/classes/db/mysql/query_factory.php on line 114

Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at
public_html/includes/classes/db/mysql/query_factory.php:114) in public_html/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 102

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at public_html/includes/classes/db/mysql/query_factory.php:114) in public_html/includes/init_includes/init_templates.php on line 78

Any idea what's causing this?

Thanks,

How can I choose not to display the image file (link) in the feed?

I'm running into problems with this installation. Hopefully somebody that has experienced this could help.

I have wordpress on zencart installed. When I click on any of the RSS feed, the URL displayed is for example:
index.php?main_page=rss_feed&feed=specials

The title bar displays: Wordpress > error
and the page displays: ERROR: specials is not a valid feed template

however if I change the URL form the above to:
index.php?main_page=rss_feed&**amp;**feed=specials

everything works properly.

My other problem is that regardless of the feed I choose, featured, special, news etc... the information in the feed remains the same.

Thanks for any help...

Hi,

Does anyone know how to make the RSS feed display in two columns per row instead of just one? Please advise. Thank you.

hi, any idea how to get Ultimate SEO URLs 2.105 to product url in feed?
ncludes > functions > extra_functions > rss_feed.php

How do you get your feed to show the price of the product? I read a quite a few of the posts but didn't find the answer.

Thanks,
Kelly

After posting this error, I decided to search this thread, post by post. I saw where this issue has been addressed more than ANY other issue concerning this mod.
The so called answer has been that there are blank spaces, or rogue carraige returns, or empty expansive sub-space in the delta quadrant.

Looking at all of the files in the MOST RECENTLY available release, every one has been updated with ```php
// EOF

However, non of this has yet to solve the issue for a lot of us, (me,me,me:frusty: ).  I have not seen where one single person that posted this problem has posted that it was resolved.

Someone out there has had this problem and MUST have fixed it.  Someone out there MUST know the answer.  Could that someone Please post the Real answer here?

Andrew, I love all the mods of yours that I use, and I wan't to use this one very much.  I know I'll love it too, once I can get it working.  So please, I am asking you, Please help us fix this problem once and for all, completely, and clearly, so no one else will ever have to go through this again.

Thanks,

Tom

Hi Tom,
I can not help you because I can not reproduce the error. At all stores, which I serve, no such problems.
If you give me access to ftp, only then can I help you.

Thanks Andrew. Sent you a PM with that info.

Remove 2 spaces from the bottom file includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/silverfish/centercolumn_footer_defines.php
And now no error.

Andrew, you are a GENIUS!!!

This is why I love using your mods.

Thank you very much for your help.:bigups::bigups:

Now, there is one more slight problem. I am having trouble getting third party readers to read my feed url, such as Yahoo, or http://www.feedreader.net/.

My feed url looks like this:

http://www.ashbysonline.com/index.php?main_page=rss_feed&feed=new_products

It works great when you click the RSS button at the bottom of my site, or paste that url directly into a browser, but, if you try to put it into another reader, or into a blog, like on MyYahoo, well, it just won't work.

Most RSS feed url's I've seen end in XML, php or something other than a dynamicly generated url like the one above.

Any suggestions?

Hello Andrew,

I saw that you helped Wtashby. I too have this problem with the RSS feed suddenly not showing up. I believe I have the spaces in a file, but have had no such look in finding it. I switched between the Classic template, and my cusomised template. And the error is still there, so it must be a file not in an override folder somewhere - no luck so far LOL.

Is there a way of searching for space at the end of a file, such as a php script or similar? Any help is much appreciated.
