RSS2 Feed Contribution

Hmm, when I put in: ```

Never mind, I figured it out (and kicking myself for being an idiot) :oops: . Thanks for everyone's help!

countrycharm:

Did you add this to your html_header.php somewhere beetwen <head> and </head> tags:
<?php echo rss_feed_link_alternate(); // RSS Feed ?
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.
Hi, countrycharm

I have installed rss feed on my local test site. It works ok under IE7, but in FF3.5, when I click on the rss icon inside address bar and select a rss feed from dropdown, nothing happen. But, when I click on the footer rss button, I would be led to the all products rss feeds page, it is ok. The problem looks weird! I have tried to visit your site via FF3.5, it all works fine.

Another question is how to make the site logo appear in the rss feed page just as your site. What format would be used? I used "http://www.example.com/nikeshoes/includes/templates/pure_orange/images/logo.png" on my local testing site.

I confirmed I have followed everything in the readme file.

Thanks in advance,

Im getting duplicates for the rss feed.
It will list items 2 or 3 times,

Is there a way to stop this. or to specify unique items.

Are you using a custom folder for your template or the default of zen cart? I use a logo.gif. Yours should work if it is in the right folder, and it seems to be.
/includes/templates/Your_Template/images logo.png

Under your store/configuration/RSS_FEED/ put this in were it says
RSS Image: logo.png

Should work, if not let me know.

Hi, countrycharm

Thanks for your help. Right, it works. No path needed for logo.png, only putting the filename at the rss image configuration.

Best regards,

Is there anyway to show RSS2 feed in Russian.
Right now it doesn't matter in what language you are, the feed will be always showing english.

It is suppose to work with either one Russian or English.

You wouldn't happen to have the wordpress module installed, would you? I have seen this error on the wordpress on zen thread, somehow the feed is being embedded into a regular zen cart page and not on it's own page.

oh well - good point - i installed the wordpress thing but "disabled" it because i'm not using it - maybe i forgot to disable it entirely - hmmmm - well if you know how to solve this then let me know! thank you very much!

strange - the files from the wp-contrib and the database entries were already deleted - but i had to delete the sidebox things in TOOLS->LAYOUT BOX CONTROLLER -> WP_.... manually - now everything is working.
Thanks lankeeyankee for pointing me to the right direction! :bigups:

My RSS feed works fine, but the little RSS icon only appears in my browser and when I click on an image (at the top of the image)

This little icon does not appear on my webshop in the header or footer.
How do I get it there?

Hi BlessIsaacola,

Do you mind sharing ho you fixed the problem? Thanks!
You have really a problem with that?

<?php echo rss_feed_link_alternate(); // RSS Feed ?>

Edit your wordpress-config.php
Find

if(isset($_GET['feed'])){

and replace by

if (isset($_GET['feed']) && ($_GET['feed'] == 'rss2' || $_GET['feed'] == 'comments-rss2')) {

I have only an image of Rss in my footer ,but when I click it nothing happens. It does not act as a link.
Can anyone tell me what it means?

lieven23,
First you need to correct the html-errors - http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.afro-masks.com%2Findex.php%3Fmain_page%3Dindex%26cPath%3D1%26sort%3D20a%26language%3Den&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&group=0&verbose=1&user-agent=W3C_Validator%2F1.654

Andrew,
I solved the problems, errors and now my page is:
