RSS2 Feed Contribution

Hi,

I've a shop running from several months and i wanted to insert feed rss.

The shop is this --> lacompagniadelkendo.com

I followed the instruction on the readme file, i did backup of course, of both files and db. I copied main files like install.sql on my shop directory and copied every single file of the include folder on the coresponding place of my shop folder.

I did this before on my local website and everything was working. I installed the patch on my shop by copy-paste and i got the following message:

Error: cannot insert configuration_key because it already exists
1 statement ignored. See "upgrade_excempions" table for additional details.

Now...the feed is working since i put this link and i can see feeds --> yourzencart/index.php?main_page=rss_feed

But, when i enter from "configuration" the "rss feed" i can't see anything :(
I searched throught posts some solution and couldn't find any :(
Do you have something to propose?
Thanks!!

countrycharm:

Have you checked to make sure all the files are in their correct location? There is something not in the right place to be getting that error.

Hi, I have put all files in their correct location end stil geting message:

Hi, countrycharm

I noticed that when I visit my own specials rss feed, it always displayed the same contents for me but not reflect the newly added special products.

Would you please let me know how to setup rss feed add-on to enable it in displaying the new specials?

Best regards,

One more quick question. I want to submit the file to Google's Product Search.
...
Is there any way of using this mod together with Google Product Search?
For this, use another module - Google Base Feeder.

icecold:

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.
Really? You looked at the source code? I see this:

Hi,

twdhosting:

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...?

JohnBoyCR:

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!
I will add a new parameter - manufacturer_name and manufacturers_id. So you can add this parm to all feeds (products, new-products, specials and so on).
twdhosting:

Excellent!

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

Thanks
Please remind me about this in pm

For everyone who received an error

Invalid xml declaration.

Pro version works with the enabled gzip.

Hi, countrycharm

Would you please let me know how to setup rss feed add-on to enable it in displaying the new specials?

Best regards,

• Go to admin/configuration/rss_feed and under RSS Home Page Feed you set it to what you want it to display. Under RSS Default Feed set that to a different setting. That should take care of it.

Hi, countrycharm

Thanks for your help.
I am now using "new_products" under "RSS Default Feed" setting. If I set it to "specials" or "products" would be helpful in getting a new special list when anyone visit my specials rss feed?

Best regards,

countrycharm:

I'm not sure why it is not showing the price. I just looked at mine and it is not showing the price either for some reason even though I have Generate Products Price set to true. I have to look into this a little deeper to see why. I just went to your site and the load time is 37 seconds for your feed. I think that is way to long. I see another problem also, or you may have did it on purpose. I don't see the feed icon in your browser when I go to your web site. That is where you have a choice on new products feed, featured feed, all products feed and so on.

countrycharm,

Were you able to get the price added to feed? Thanks, Kim

Hi.
Has this been done yet?
Thanks.

Styles UK:

Hi.
Has this been done yet?
Thanks.
Yes, but unfortunately this is not yet in download area. I'll upload a new version when I have free time. When exactly - do not know.

lacompagniadelkendo:

But, when i enter from "configuration" the "rss feed" i can't see anything :(

You are using the module admin profiles?

a_berezin:

You are using the module admin profiles?

Nope, The only add-ons used until now is google analytics and now the rss2feed.

Will this module "admin profiles" solve my problem?

lacompagniadelkendo:

No. Reinstall this module sql

a_berezin:

No. Reinstall this module sql

I did copy-paste the install.sql code, send it, and the same errors appeared:

• 9 statements processed (green)
• Error: cannot insert configuration_key "" because it already exists (red)
• Note: 1 statements ignored. See "upgrade_exceptions" table for additional details (yellow)

Then i used the uninstall.sql and just one green message appeared:

• 5 statements processed. Good :)

I used again the install.sql and.. the same errors appeared :(:(

I'm sending you the query results on pm, maybe you can figure out what's wrong.

I see your sql. I do not know why that is substituted prefix tables, then no:

DELETE FROM zen_configuration WHERE configuration_group_id = @configuration_group_id AND configuration_group_id != 0;
DELETE FROM **zen_configuration_group **WHERE configuration_group_id = @configuration_group_id AND configuration_group_id != 0;
...
INSERT INTO zen_configuration_group (configuration_group_id, configuration_group_title, configuration_group_description, sort_order, visible) VALUES (NULL, 'RSS Feed', 'RSS Feed Configuration', '1', '1');
...
INSERT INTO configuration (configuration_id, configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, date_added, use_function, set_function) VALUES (NULL, 'RSS Title', 'RSS_TITLE', '', 'RSS Title (if empty use Store Name)',
How do you run install.sql?

I'm running this mod and it worked great on the first day but after that it does not update and show new products as they are added. Do I need to change a setting? Thanks!

How do you run install.sql?

Don't understand what you wrote about my sql tables :blush:

I run install.sql doing this: From admin panel --> tools --> install sql patches --> Copy - paste the lines of the install.sql file --> send

and next screen i get the results i sent you..
