RSS2 Feed Contribution

fiberphile:

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!

I am having the same problem and I have looked all over for the answer but all I ever see is the question being asked with no answer.

Thanks

I am trying to remove the borders around the "buy now" image and the product image.

Did anyone ever get an answer on what the edit needs to be in the rss.css?

Hi there, I have a query about the RSS feed contribution and multiple images.

It seems as if the contribution by default shows multiple images in the XML when listing a single product (feed=products&products_id=xxx), but not all products (feed=products). If I dim the isset-check on line #441 in includes/modules/pages/rss_feed/header_php.php, I can list multiple images for a couple of products, but it goes haywire after a while and starts listing images that don't belong to a certain product. Not sure how this code could be modified to show multiple images for the all-product feed?

Also, is it possible to iterate the list of multiple images? For a single product, I now get:

<g:image_link>Image 1</g:image_link>
<g:image_link>Image 2</g:image_link>
```This might cause problems so wouldn't it be better if the list would be:

<g:image_link_1>Image 1</g:image_link>
<g:image_link_2>Image 2</g:image_link>

@TheScannerStore.com,

I don't have borders around the "Buy now" button or image - did you make some alterations to the rss.css file? Both are images inside the feedEntryContent class (and linked), so perhaps you could use something like this?

div.feedEntryContent a img {
     border: none;
}

What if I only want to support a feed for New Products? Which lines do I have to comment out? Been searching like a mad man... :frusty:

Ok, it's not pretty, but I've sorted it out. In file includes\functions\extra_functions\rss_feed.php...

Line 123, make the following change (the comment is there for backup)

    $feed_array = array('new_products'); //   $feed_array = array('specials', 'new_products', 'upcoming', 'featured', 'best_sellers'); // 'news'

Line 128-131, comment out everything to remove the flyout menu when pressing the RSS icon when inside a category or product, i.e. the customer cannot (easily) follow a feed other than the "New products feed".

/*    list($feed, $title) = rss_feed_current_page();
    if($feed && !in_array($feed, $feed_array)) {
      $link .= '<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="' . $title . '" href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_RSS_FEED, 'feed=' . $feed, 'NONSSL', false) . '" />' . "\n";
    } */

Hi,

Does anyone know how to remove/disable a particular feed, so it can no longer be accessed? For instance I want to make the 'best_sellers' RSS feed inaccessible to everyone (search engines, customers, competition! etc.).

Is their a way to do this?

Thanks :smile:

Download a copy of /includes/functions/extra_functions/rss_feed.php open it up scroll down line 123 and take out the one you do not want to show.

$feed_array = array('specials', 'new_products', 'upcoming', 'featured', 'best_sellers'); // 'news'

Hi
I am using Zencart 1.39
I have installed the RSS FEED 2.1.4

I have just uploaded the RSS FEED after hearing all the good things about it but have a problem. I followed all the instructions but I when I click on my rss button I get page not found. Is there something I am not doing. I add the code to the htnl_header.php file at the end and it took it. I have the rss feed button on my main page.

I made the configurations in admin/rss feed

Hi countrycharm,

Thanks for your response. 

I have actually tried what you suggested already.. however, unfortunately, it doesn't make the feed inaccessible - it just removes it from the header links (which I don't use anyway). I'm trying to restrict access to that feed altogether.

Any more ideas?

Thanks :smile:

I have read the thread and did not find an answer to what I am having. I installed the addon and followed the instructions well I think I diid well and when I click on my feed this is waht I see can some one help please. When I go to firefox it does not work. Can some one take a look and point me in the right direction

This is the link http://buybackissuesonline.com/index.php?main_page=rss_feed&feed=new_products

Still looking some help with feed

I have installed everything as directed but still doesnt want to work, so i check cache folder if any errors and yes there was here is what they where.

PHP Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in store/includes/classes/rss_feed.php on line 150
PHP Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in store/includes/classes/rss_feed.php on line 151
PHP Warning: Cannot use a scalar value as an array in store/includes/classes/rss_feed.php on line 152

Here is what the errors point to

$this->image['title'] = $title;
$this->image['link'] = $link;
$this->image['url'] = $url;

Which is in this section

function rss_feed_image($title, $link, $url, $width=0, $height=0, $description=false) {
$this->image['title'] = $title;
$this->image['link'] = $link;
$this->image['url'] = $url;
$this->width['width'] = $width;
$this->width['height'] = $height;
$this->width['description'] = $description;

Any help is appreciated :smile:

Oh forgot to add i am using 1.3.9f

I'm sure I've done something really silly - but I can't figure out what and need some help.

I recently upgraded from 1.3.8 to 1.3.9f and now my rss images aren't showing up. Everything else is fine but its still trying to pull the images from the subfolder I used to migrate the shop over. I've uninstalled and reinstalled and still no images showing up. Is there a magic spot where I can just tell the happy little code where to look for the product images?

Thank you for any help.

I'm having a problem with this mod, cuz i think i don't understand this part:
6. The CSS/XSL files are sent from /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/ to the browser in this order:
(and alphabetically within each case of more than one match):
rss*.css // are always loaded and at least ONE should contain site-wide properties.
rss*.xsl // are always loaded and at least ONE should contain site-wide properties.

as i only uploaded one file : rss.css what is the rss.xsl?

I've installed everything even did the search blank space, but my feed is (logo) wellshown on the footer store but when i click on it i'm rediriged to my store with a blank area in the middle...

I will really really appreciate any help .. just upgraded my store to zencart 1.3.9H (in case it's important)

Thanx you!

A couple of years ago I had this mod working just perfectly on my 1.3.7.1 and 1.3.8a installs - no problem whatsoever.

A few days ago I decided to install the mod on a 1.3.9h store (I may have been bored and needed something to do .... :blink:) just to find that I am encountering all sorts of problems which I won't specify here.

After analyzing, changing, re-installing etc I have come to the conclusion that this mod is in need of a major revamp to fully comply with the 1.3.9 series.

Sad but true.

If anyone has the time and knowledge to take over from Andrew and redevelop the mod then that would be much appreciated.
