Hi,

Blank page? No, this should not be. :no:
I think this is strange. It will run on a site I am setting up but not my main site.
Thank you anyway

Using a fresh zencart 1.3.8 and installed this great RSS feed system.
ALL feeds are working except one: the one used on a individual product page.

Already checked for emtpy lines.

Still the error when I click the RSS button on a individual product info page is still there:

This page contains the following errors:

error on line 3 at column 6: XML declaration allowed only at the start of the document
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

SOURCE:
line 1 =emptyline
<br class="clearBoth" />

<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">

Obviously this <br class="clearBoth" />
is causing it.
SO I tested and removed ALL <br ...../>
that are used in a product info page.
Result is still the same.

Any thoughts/ideas?

Thanks a lot works fine
Zen Cart 1.3.8 version :smile:

Hiya thanks for this, is there anyway to update the feed without having to delete cache files each time? I have people adding products daily.

Hmm, Don't know what might be wrong with my server but after deleting the cache, I never get any rss_xxxx, files again ... :huh:

Firstly, I must say thanks to the add-on. Just as the developer says: RSS is a nice marketing tool!

Then, thanks for the nice tip you offer.:cool:

All the best,

Hello,

I have installed the Rss software and can not get the price to show up. Does anybody have any idea how to do this? I have been searching for about 4 hours now and can not find any comments. Your help would be much appreciated.

Thank you!

PS> Great add-on Andrew!

I left out something when I told you guys how to update your feed so here it is. Sorry about that. Run this scrip also

UPDATE configuration SET set_function=NULL WHERE configuration_key = 'RSS_CACHE_TIME';

where you entered the code? :blink:

	
unfortunately, I feed only generates product specials
most interest to me to have feed for new products :frusty:

Hello. I am interested in displaying the price of the item within either the title or description. Just as other people have requested how to do this, I have searched the forums and still cannot find an answer. A simple post tutorial would be very valuable and I would make sure to put it up where people could find it.

Alright, I'm totally confused. I've uploaded all the files to the / directory of my server, but I'm a little unclear about what I should do next. The documentation says:

Go to Admin->Tools->Install SQL Patches and install install.sql (don't use upload - use copy/paste to install sql).

Ok, so if I go to admin->tools-> install sql patches, what am I supposed to type? I tried: "install.sql ;" and I get this error:

1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'instal.sql' at line 1
in:
[instal.sql ;]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

I don't know anything about sql :/ ...

Open up install.sql in notepad, copy everything and then paste it into the section in admin>tools>install sql patches and click on send

Ah, I feel like an idiot now :-). I thought install.sql was an actual file that could be run... Thank You!!

Ok, one other question. How do I access it? Appending ?main_page=rss_feed to my index.php doesn't seem to work. Is there a new link for the rss feed? Or is there something else I'm missing?

Affected files

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

Install:

0. BACKUP! BACKUP! BACKUP! BACKUP! BACKUP! BACKUP!
1. Unzip and upload all new files to your store directory;
2. Go to Admin->Tools->Install SQL Patches and install install.sql (don't use upload - use copy/paste to install sql).
   (if you use Admin Profiles or Admin with Levels you must setting needed permission);
3. Go to Admin>Configuration>RSS Feed and setting up your RSS Feed configuration;
   4. You can add to html_header.php somewhere beetwen <head> and </head> tags:

6. The CSS/XSL files are sent from /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/ to the browser in this order:
   (and alphabetically within each case of more than one match):
   rss*.css // are always loaded and at least ONE should contain site-wide properties.
   rss*.xsl // are always loaded and at least ONE should contain site-wide properties.

Make sure you did what 4 and 5 says to do then make sure all your files uploaded to their correct folders. You should see the RSS Feed picture on your main page if everything is installed correct. Go to Admin>Configuration>RSS Feed and set up your RSS Feed configuration;

I did add it to my footer, but the feed doesn't show up. You can go here: http://www.sancoind.com/shop/ and you can see the new products feed at the bottom. Only it doesn't go anywhere, it just pulls up a blank page.

I've copied over all the files, ran the install and configured the feed in the admin panel. Am I missing something?

I don't see it showing up anywhere in you Source code. Here is part of your Source code.

Here is mine. See the difference in the code that I highlighted. That part is suppose to be in yours also. So I am thinking maybe you didn't add that part of the code to your html_header.php.
