RSS2 Feed Contribution

One more thing check your cache file on your server to see if there are any rss feed cache files there. If there are delete them.

Is there anyone who can tell me how to remove the comments and image link from the feed.
I have turned them off in the admin but they still display in IE

I dont use the reviews feature and my images are watermarked using image handler, however the image link in the rss feed takes me to a un-watermarked image, so I would rather it be turned off.

Apart from that, this mod works fine in the latest zen version

I am using zen version 1.3.9f

Yes, please post.

Ok here is the file

Just replace

/includes/modules/pages/rss_feed/header_php.php

with the attached file.

A link to your site might help, so we can see what the problem is,

Good, glad to hear that.

I installed this with ease to version 1.39. Works great. Wish I could figure out how to have multiple feeds. Will have to read more. Thanks for the great addon.

I figured it out. :-)

I just checked my rss feed and found that it is not working anymore, was working correctly for years, I'm getting the following error:

XML Parsing Error: XML or text declaration not at start of entity
Location: http://www.thesourceltd.com/index.php?main_page=rss_feed&feed=new_products
Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
^

So I read thru the posts and turned gzip compression off, now the rss feed page spits out all the data, however it's a mass of text in the html, no images, no styling, it's just a mess of text, i.e.:

I have also checked for spaces, of which I found none and also looked for and replaced "?>" with "// EOF" at the end of each file edited/added.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Many thanks!

In Opera I get a little more info:

What version of zen cart are you running?
A link to your site would be helpful.

When I click on your rss feed it takes me to a login screen.

I do have a question, I use the Rss feed to post to my twitter account. However, it adds a link to the image and product. I use it on two different sites with different results.

Umm what exactly is your question,

why its doing it differently, or how to get rid of the image link

I posted a file a few posts back, try that and see if it removes the image link for you

Not sure what file your are talking about. If you could show me, I will try it.

  Many of you have asked for an easier way to 
  create a subscribed link from your existing RSS/Atom feeds. 
  Now you can just enter the URL of your RSS/Atom feed as a 
  subscribed links feed URL to Google, 
  and we'll automatically create a simple subscribed link 
  based on that feed which provides links to, and excerpts from, 
  recent items posted to the feed. There's just one catch: you 
  need to tell us which queries should trigger each item in 
  your feed.

Hello, I think you need this:

http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=473

:smile:

thanks will look at it

I am having a problem with this addon. I followed the instruction( I think) backed up my site, unzip the folder and osed a ftp to import each folder on my site and still cannot see the rss icon in my footer. I have added the code that was supposed to be inserted in the footer on my main page.

1.One of my questions is where can I find that file to insert the footer code?
2.It says that you must insert the code in html_header.php file. I searched for the header.php file and found it in template-default/common. I read on this thread that you must first make the insertions with the header code and save it there and then insert the header.php file in my-template/common is that correct?

But when i save it to the my-template/common it looks totaly different and there is no coding. At the bottom it says dummy file.
Can someone help me please

RSSfeed not show more then 100 product why ?
