RSS2 Feed Contribution

Hi

I downloaded and installed rss_feed_2-1-4.zip

It worked fine until I installed a different template. I re-uploaded the feed files making sure the appropriate file went into my new template folder, which didn't get it working.
I removed all installation files and uninstalled the sql.

Next I uploaded the files and then installed the install.sql. The feed icon is in the footer and generates the feed but I don't know what I'm missing to get it up in the address bar.

The feed icon image is uploaded and in the includes/templates/mytemplate/images folder.

This code

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

has been placed in /includes/templates/mytemplate/common/html_header.php

The rss image is named in configuration.

Any ideas what I may be missing? :frusty:

Ok, so in the meantime I went back and re-re-read the directions and this is step 2

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

Now, the first time I had rss mod working I can't remember if I had installed the patches along with the install.sql or not.

So I gave that a try to see it that was what I was missing.

Doing that took me a step backward. I get this error now when I try to do the install.sql

in part (cause it's humongous):

1062 Duplicate entry 'RSS_HOMEPAGE_FEED' for key 'unq_config_key_zen' in: [INSERT INTO zen_configuration (configuration_id, configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, date_added, use_function, set_function)

The uninstall.sql isn't removing the patches I guess.

What is to be done now?

Please help. :(

Hi lieven23,

Andrew,
I solved the problems, errors and now my page is:
This document was successfully checked as XHTML 1.0 Transitional!

I see this code in the page bottom:

<!--bof RSS Feed -->
<div id="RSSFeedLink"></div>
<!--eof RSS Feed -->[B]"[/B]

Strange extra quote.

Can you show me this php-code?

Very strange. Show me uninstall.sql that you use. How do you run it?

I fixed the problem in my tpl_footer.php file. there was an " too much at the end.
But unfortunatly the rss image still does not act as a link .

Hi Andrew

I paste the code into the input box and send it.

This is the uninstall sql found in the package

SET @configuration_group_id=0;
SELECT (@configuration_group_id:=configuration_group_id) FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_title= 'RSS Feed' LIMIT 1;
DELETE FROM configuration WHERE configuration_group_id = @configuration_group_id AND configuration_group_id != 0;
DELETE FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_id = @configuration_group_id AND configuration_group_id != 0;
DELETE FROM configuration WHERE configuration_key = 'RSS_FEED_VERSION';

Thanks

Some errors in your template - if you disable the css, then the link works fine.

Is there really no solution to my problem from posts #621, #622, #626? I would really like to get this mod working again.

Well hoooray

I managed to figure out how to manually delete the duplicate statements from phpmyadmin.

I got the rss sql added back to my database and the rss mod is finally working.

Hi Andrew I have a little problem for some reason. When my rss feed is set to products, and When I click the Rss Feed icon at the bottom of my page it just brings up the subscribe page with no content beside that. I don't know whats going on. It use to work. I haven't added any new modules. Thanks in advance.

Never mind I just re-uploaded all file and everything is working again.

Check php-scripts in the presence of extra lines and spaces.
Take this script, unzip it, upload it to a root directory and running it.

this fixed extra spaces in language file :)
thanks

I apologize if the answer is in the thread - I just could not find it. I installed the mod. Did the sql update. And added the lines in step 4 and 5 of instruction. Easy process, no problem. Where is my feed? I do not have an icon, url or etc to find it. the web address is www.g-trains.com Thanks in advance for your help

Please excuse my last post - what a stupid rule (ha, ha) - you have to load the files to the template you are using. Sorry for the previous post

Hello , i got a special trouble :blink: , Very headache.

my site is http://www.screambuy.com
RSS2 generate all links like this : <link>http://www.screambuy.com/for-dell-de2200-148v-4400mah-laptop-battery-p-989.html&language=en</link>

But when clicked , my site have no such page .

I notice it should be "&language=en" cause such trouble .
So , how can i remove it ?

I suppose to edit RSS2.PHP : <link><![CDATA[<?php echo HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG; ?>]]></link>
But it seems that impossible .

At present , have to use Robot.txt to prevent bots to visit such wrong link .

Hope that some one can teach me how to solve , MANY THANKS !

Hello, it's me again. I installed this superb looking Mod a few months back, but have never managed to get it to work.

The error I get is the following:

Invalid xml declaration.
Line: 1 Character: 4

• <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>*

I have read through each and every page of this thread. I understand that I need to look for spaces and extra lines in the language and other files. I have done so manually, but cannot find what is wrong. I see from looking at the source code of my RSS feed - http://www.cadwyngifts.com/rss_feed.html - that there is a space right at the begining. The problem is I do not know what I need to change and in which file to get rid of this space.

The script that is refered to here - http://ecommerce-service.com/download/found_extra_space.zip - does not seem to be available...

Thanks a_berezin for this mod! :smile:

Hmm ?? does any one meet same trouble as mine ? Thanks

Hello , after LONG TIME checked ,
I notice it is because of RSS2 generate the link "......html&language=en" , It is wrong link
Correct one should be "......html?language=en",
Then my screambuy don't know the difference of "&" and "?" , provide "page not found , 404 Error" message .
Is it a bug ?
I suppose there are some such situations , but look through whole interenet and no answers .

It must be solved because Google Bot always regard it as a new link but in fact it is not work , cause a lot of trouble during SEO .

Hope that it can solve fast .:shocking:

Still trying to figure out how to get rid of that blasted 'space' at the begining of the source code for the page - http://www.cadwyngifts.com/rss_feed.html - it seems to work fine if that gap isn't there!! :wacko:
