1. Bug fixes;

Hello i am new here, can anyone help me with a problem? (please)
I have installed the latest mod but i have few problems

1. there is no rss image on the frontpage with the all products link

2. when i go to "Admin-> configuration-> Rss Feed->" there is nothing to see only an emty page. So i can not configure anything.

thanks a lot for any help

I have the SEO URLS too

The footer is giving me this error:
Fatal error: Call to undefined function: rss_feed_link()

The Header gives me a completely other problem, something about not getting the feed

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: rss_feed_link_alternate() in /home/apbs77/public_html/includes/templates/apbs/common/html_header.php on line 24

my website: https://www.allpaintballsupplies.com

i have the Ultimate SEO URLS

i fixed it, for some reason it didn't copy all the php in there properly for the "yourtemplate"

The BUY NOW button doesn't appear to have a link.

Also, could the price be put with the title as TITLE - $price

Or perhaps as text near the BUY NOW button?

And what?

Of course, you can do it.

I think it should be part of the contribution itself.

And WHAT? What do you mean? The BUY NOW button is just an image, clicking on it does nothing...

I do not think so.

Really? You can set an example?

Look nice in FF and terrible in IE. Use xsl stylesheet.

When I try to use an xsl stylesheet called rss.xsl and take a look at the HTML source I see:

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/rss.xsl"?>

Shouldn't that be:

<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/rss.xsl"?>

?

(the xsl stylesheet does not seem to work at al, but because I'm new to this I am not sure if the above really is related)

I fixed the above by replacing 'xls' by 'xsl' (in rss_feed_v2.0.5_20.10.2007) in function rss_feed_out(), and I found the same typo in 2 readme files. So it was caused by a small typo.

Unfortunately my xsl stylesheet still doesn't work for some reason though. It seems server related because if I copy a sample xsl stylesheet to my local PC it works, but when I copy the same file to my server it does not. :( Even tried another server and the same xsl file works perfect again. :dontgetit

Does xsl depend on the server configuration?

To answer my own question: the Mime Type setting on the server needs to be correct (changed it through .htaccess). The feed still does not listen to the stylesheet though (both are text/xml type now)....

R u saying that using the xsl stylesheet will solve the BUY NOW button issue? If not, then you haven't answered his question...

Do you think it would be useful to add a dynamic feed name feature? (Maybe you already have plans for this?) Having the same name for multiple subscribed feeds is quite confusing I think. Maybe add the word "featured" to the featured feed name , "specials" to the specials feed name etc etc?

And, I not sure if it's useful or not, and if it's the right way to fix this, but to prevent links like:

<link>http://www.mydomain.com//</link>

I changed (rss_feed.php class, function _clear_url()):

      $out .= $pathinfo["dirname"] . '/'; 

To:

      // $out .= $pathinfo["dirname"] . '/';
      // prevent double slashes in path
      $out .= rtrim($pathinfo["dirname"], '/');
      $out .= '/';

Good idea! Thanks! Maybe discuss this?

  $out .= '/';

This is the real problem? I have not met with it. Thank you, I might add.

About the feed names:
a quick and dirty fix might be to add the right part of the feed= parameter? But it would probably be a lot nicer if the products name, categories name, and translations of featured and specials etc would be added. Maybe add some code that determines the names to the switch/case header_php.php file? I don't know the rss feed code well enough and so I don't have more specific ideas (yet).

About the double slashes:

a_berezin:

This is the real problem? I have not met with it.Looking at several sites that have the rss feed installed I do see the the double slashes, also in links to the products for example. I don't know what the real problem (and solution) is, but I think it's related to how dirname works. And a quick look at the code lead to this empirical fix :-)

You don't understand me. I do not ask "how?". I myself know this very well and know perfectly my own rss feed code.:smile: I ask you "what?". What you want to see in this rss feed. I think is not only complement the title, but also a description and maybe an image.

Maybe add all common <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"? Ex:

<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="MyCart New Products RSS Feed" href="index.php?main_page=rss_feed&feed=new_products" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="MyCart Upcoming Products RSS Feed" href="index.php?main_page=rss_feed&feed=upcoming" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="MyCart Featured Products RSS Feed" href="index.php?main_page=rss_feed&feed=featured" />
<link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml" title="MyCart Specials Products RSS Feed" href="index.php?main_page=rss_feed&feed=specials" />
