For everyone who received an error

This version does not support gzip compression! Turn it off in the admin.
Pro version works with the enabled gzip.

Thank you Andrew but I still have problems with some of the feeds in Firefox 3.5.4, IE8 and Safari 4.

In Firefox

http://www.theoutletseason.com/electronics/index.php?main_page=rss_feed&feed=specials

and all the others

looks like:

Not showing any images ...

In IE8 :

The feeds the header show:

**Only one top level element is allowed in an XML document.
Line: 2 Character: 2

but the feed on the footer works but with errors:

** ]]> Outlet Season Brand name Computers and Electronics Store http://www.theoutletseason.com/electronics/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=28218 Thu, 22 Oct 2009 00:13:57 -0400 109.99 USD 28218 0.3 Microsoft OEM Software 15601 OEMWIN7HP32B1PK http://www.theoutletseason.com/electronics/images/Microsoft/OEMWIN7HP32B1PK.jpg http://www.theoutletseason.com/electronics/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=25853 http://www.theoutletseason.com/electronics/index.php?main_page=product_reviews&products_id=25853 inFAMOUS PS3
**
after the buy now button is displaying the end ]]> of the CDATA statement, that supposed to be parsed by XML ...

In Safari 4:

Safari can’t open the page.
Safari can’t open the page “feed://www.theoutletseason.com/electronics/index.php?main_page=rss_feed&feed=new_products” because Safari can’t load any data from this location.

and the bottom feed has exactly the same error as IE8:

after the buy now button is displaying the end ]]> of the CDATA statement, that supposed to be parsed by XML ...

Does anyone know if this mod can be modified to create a manufacturers RSS feed? So for example if I have a manufacturer called "Armani" it would produce a feed of all those Armani products...?

Thanks

Hi icecold,

You did something very strange - look at the feed source code.

Of course you can modify this script to display any feed :)
Good idea! I will release it. Thanks.

Excellent!

When you have the updated code can you post it on here?

Thanks

Weird code? Well that's generated by your module, I don't have anything strange in my product description that might affect the display ... I installed the module and checked that everything was installed as it supposed to be.

Just make sure your override system for includes > templates/your_template is named correct. If that not it I'm not sure why it is not showing on your site. includes > functions > extra_functions > rss_feed.php is the file that controls what you want to show though.

Theirs nothing wrong with the file. The red high light is the part that is suppose to show up in your browser. I'm not sure why it's not showing for you.

Anyone else have this problem? Price not showing up with feed, yet set to true in admin area. How was it resolved?

I had the opposite problem. The price was showing up even when it was set to false in the Admin area. Countrycharm gave me a patch (see a few posts back) and it's now fine.

Is it the extra space one? I did that one already. I will keep looking. Thanks, Kim

No it wasn't. Just look back a dozen or so posts from me and replies by CountryCharm to me. I don't wish to be rude, but I'm flat out.

Check to make sure you did this.
Did you add this to your html_header.php somewhere beetwen <head> and </head> tags: If you didn't this will cause it to not show in your browser. 
[php]<?php echo rss_feed_link_alternate(); // RSS Feed ?
```

kburner:

Anyone else have this problem? Price not showing up with feed, yet set to true in admin area. How was it resolved?
Are your feeds still being cached in your sever root/cache_folder, if so look here. Make sure you clear your browser cache also.

Thank you so much!
You are welcome. I glad you got it sorted out.

We are unable to get our feed to display althiough with "view source" the data is there -

Feed

Our programmer says she is unable to find what's causing the whitespace, and I'm pretty desperate.

Anyone interested in tackling this?

Actually, I'd also like to update all and ensure security too, and our programmer is not a ZenCart expert, like she is with WordPress.

Anyone know a good Zencart person? PM me or reply here - thanks in advance

Download this script and run it to check for extra white spaces. Down load it and extract it and up-load it to your server, run the script like this. http://www your.com/found_extra_space.php

thank you, will try that...

Andrew, I would also like to see a product (new_product) feed by
manufacturer. Would be a really useful mod. Thanks for your effort.
RSS feed is a cool tool!
