RSS2 Feed Contribution

I installed this nice RSS Feed just a few days ago and I would like to post the RSS icon in the header but I don't know how to do this?

Hi

Installed the feed fine all working but when i validate i get this error:
guid values must not be duplicated within a feed

This is the line of code that is erroring:
<guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.mysite.co.uk/my-product-p-305.html</guid>

Any ideas?

thank you

This contribution is really going to help me, except my site's a catalogue or directory where nothing is sold.

I had no trouble removing the Buy Now button in Admin and I thought this would also remove the Buy Now link.

Not so!

A text link with the words Buy Now still appears in the feed. This link takes my users to the checkout which under normal circumstances is inaccessible on my site.

Being not too PHP savvy, can some kind person tell me how I can remove the Buy Now link please.

Everything else you need to keep. Just delete the rss feed files thats all and your feed will be up to date from now own until you add more products or delete them then you will have to do the same thing to keep your store RSS up to date.
Hi, countrycharm
If there is any script like cron job in cpanel to automate such routine? :smile:

Hello all,

I have just finished the RSS install. It's fantastic!.

However I need to remove the 'Date Added' from each product.
I tried a_berezin's method on page 50 of this thread (post #500)
But unfortunately this didn't work for me?? :lamo:

I contaced a_berezin via PM and he said it should work. But it didn't.
I added a new test product and checked to see if the date added was removed from the RSS but it wasn't :(

Does anyone know why this doesn't work? Can anyone confirm that this does work? Anyone have any more suggestions?

Regards :smile:

Paste this script in your admin/tools/install sql patches and it will take care of it for you. Andrew gave this code a while back. Make sure you delete your cache again if their is a Rss feed there. It will not cache anymore of your RSS Feeds and will stay up to date from now own.

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

Do you want the date to be removed all together, or do you just want the date to be today's date on every product?

What are you talking about? Are you talking about in admin of your store, if so their is no rss feed under tools. It is under configurations.
Make sure you uploaded all files to there correct location. If you have a override system in place, make sure you have renamed templates/ YOUR_TEMPLATE folder to the name you are using.

Hi, countrycharm

You are really helpful. With the sql you offer above and setting 'feed cache time' to 0 in rss feed admin interface, it really doesn't cache anymore. :smile:

Best regards,

Hi Countrycharm,

Maybe you have the answer to my question which has gone unanswered. The option to remove the Buy Now button in the Admin section only removes the button, not the link. Do you know where I should go to remove the link? I'm amazed that the option doesn't do both.

*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/downloa...xtra_space.zip - does not seem to be available...

Thanks a_berezin for this mod! :smile:*

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:

Any ideas guys? I would really like to get this working. :no:

Hello Countrycharm,

Thanks for your response.

I would like the date added to be removed from the feed.

Make sure you uploaded all files to there correct location. If you have a override system in place, make sure you have renamed templates/ YOUR_TEMPLATE folder to the name you are using.

I'm talking about my shop, not admin of my store.
When I go in my shop like a user.

end click on feed list I get mesage:
Error!
XML parsing failed
XML parsing failed: syntax error (Line: 1, Character: 0)

Download this this script and run it to check for extra white spaces.

So what you want to do is have no link to your site at all, or am I miss understanding you. Are you saying that when you tick off the buy now button in admin/configuration that their is still a link were the buy now button was.
