RSS2 Feed Contribution

countrycharm:

  • 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

I have try all possibilities but it looks like it didn't work. :no:

countrycharm,

Were you able to get the price added to feed? Thanks, Kim
Sorry I had not had the time yet. I have been really busy this time of the year. Maybe Andrew will be able to answer you.

Re: RSS2 Feed Contribution

I just installed RSS2 feed. Have studied the code somewhat, and am left with a blank, unfortunately. Here's my question.

link 1 to site

link 2 to site

My "RSS Featured Feed" does not have a description in the source code:

<channel> <title>PerfumePrincess.Biz : RSS Featured Feed</title> <link>http://perfumeprincess.biz/au</link> <description></description>

Where do I define the description then enable it?

Also where can I change the title text for "PerfumePrincess.Biz : RSS Featured Feed", to better suit my needs.

Thanks in advance.

Re: RSS2 Feed Contribution

Same problem here :censored: - We are unable to get the price to display - settings are correct. We may be forced to buy this instead, if we cant gt this simple thing accomplished.

Make sure you added one in admin/configurations/rss_feed RSS Description

Hi, countrycharm

Thanks for your help and I have set "Feed Cache Time" to ture but have not noticed any changes. It still displays the oldest special offers and would not reflect the most current offers. :frusty:

Regards,
Look in your cache file on your server root and see if you have RSS FEED files their. If you do delete them. That should update your feed. If it is storing them there you will need to run a code to do away with them being stored there. If you have files there let me know and I will show you where the code is to run.

Re: RSS2 Feed Contribution

The contribution is good, but my opinon it doesn't work all the way it should.
I got the last updated version assuming all the bugs discussed in this thread were fixed.
I have the same issues:

  • Price doesn't show.
  • Comments option, it turns off and on in Mozilla, but not in IE. In IE comments always there, I can't turn them off.
    After I started playing with RSS admin panel, turning this and that on and off, I lost link to the stylesheet and images. I returned everything back how it was, it didn't solve the problem.
    I reinstalled it and don't play with it anymore.

Anyways. I don't care about the price really.

How can I get rid off Comments in IE and modify style sheet.
I tried rss.css, it doen's do any effect.
When I work with FireBug in Firefox I can see tons of classes attached to the Rss page. I tried to add them in rss.css to modify, it doesn't work.
Please help with these two questions: Comments, stylesheet.

Hi and thank you for your time Andrew.
Some of us can not get the price to show up on the feed even when it is set to show in configuration. I'm not sure where to look to fix it. Thank You again

Re: RSS2 Feed Contribution

I may be speaking out of line, but this thread has nothing to do with that. Thus the reason for you not being able to find anything.

This thread is purely about creating RSS feeds of your site so that customers can see updates on their Browser. I use IGgoole and every time I update my site, the information on IGoogle changes. It's neat.

If you have the code from Yahoo to that, you could place it into a blank sidebox. Unfortunately I'm not sure it's that simple.

I just had a look in the Modules section and **this may do what you want**:

Make sure you put in a name in for your output feed file. Here is a picture to go by.

Thanks a lot for your quick reply but it seems that I miss something. This is how it look my Admin/Configuration/RSS Feed

Are you running the latest version 2.1.4 from the downloads, if so yes you miss something. Try un-installing the sql statement and reinstall it again. Run this sql statement code in admin/tools/install sql to un-install it, then reinstall the sql that came with the feed and the updates. If it doesn't un-install we will try something else.
