RSS2 Feed Contribution

v 2.0.7 27.10.2007 17:52

1. Bug fixes (Thanks to Paulm);
2. Add more <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml";
3. Add extended RSS-title (Thanks to Paulm for this idea);

You don't understand me. I do not ask "how?".True, I already had doubts about that part of my comments soon after posting.

I myself know this very well and know perfectly my own rss feed code.That appears to be very true :D

Thanks a lot for the update! I updated and did some quick tests, and as far as I can see it works great :thumbsup:

First of all: THANK YOU, ANDREW FOR ALL YOUR CONTRIBUTIONS

I have 2 questions:

1. The button "buy now" seems to don´t work for me (lates version of the mod installed)
2. Do you think is convenient to disallow rss_feed for robots to avoid duplicate content?

Another think:
Checkin validation of feed at Feed Validator this is the result:

This feed is valid, but interoperability with the widest range of feed readers could be improved by implementing the following recommendations.

• *line 23*, column 0: description should not contain onmouseover attribute [*help*]
  

  *<input type="hidden" name="cart_quantity" value="1" /><input type="hidden" n ...
  *

• *line 23*, column 0: description should not contain onmouseout attribute [*help*]
  

  *<input type="hidden" name="cart_quantity" value="1" /><input type="hidden" n ...
  *

• *line 36*, column 2: Missing atom:link with rel="self" [*help*]

1. The button "buy now" seems to don´t work for me (lates version of the mod installed)

The BUY NOW button only appears to work in FF, not IE...

I'm confused... :blink:

I just downloaded the RSS feed and there were two SQL files. One called install and the other called update_2_0_2. I got the first one installed (copy and pasted like the instructions said) but the second one I keep getting errors. I tried copy and past via Zen Cart SQL patch uploader and I even tried to just upload the file.

The error i get is:

1062 Duplicate entry 'RSS_HOMEPAGE_FEED' for key 2
in:
[INSERT INTO zen_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 Home Page Feed', 'RSS_HOMEPAGE_FEED', '', 'RSS Home Page Feed', @configuration_group_id, 8, NOW(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(\'news\', \'new_products\', \'upcoming\', \'featured\', \'specials\', \'products\', \'categories\'),'), (NULL, 'RSS Default Feed', 'RSS_DEFAULT_FEED', '', 'RSS Default Feed', @configuration_group_id, 8, NOW(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_select_option(array(\'news\', \'new_products\', \'upcoming\', \'featured\', \'specials\', \'products\', \'categories\'),');]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

ok, second part of my problem...

I thought I could still get it to work even without the patch, but no such luck. Not sure if my settings are correct but I installed the RSS in my footer, clicked on it and got this error message..

XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity
Location: http://barkandstuff.com/shop/index.php?main_page=rss_feed&feed=categories
Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>

any help would be much appreciated.

I tried copy and past via Zen Cart SQL patch uploader and I even tried to just upload the file.

install.sql is for fresh installations. update_2_0_2.sql is for upgrading from 2.0.1 to 2.0.2...

Hi, I reinstalled the install sql file and am still getting this error..

Any tips or ideas?

I add this recommended tag in the next release.

Not sure if i understand, but are you refering to my settings via admin?

Here is a screen shot...

The BUY NOW button only appears to work in FF, not IE...

And neither in some of rss agregators.

   Why?

*line 23*, column 0: description should not contain onmouseover attribute [*help*]

Fixed in next release.

What am I doing wrong to not get this to work? Did I miss a file? Did I do the wrong settings? Please help... I would like to use this but can't.

visit my website and check out the RSS feed link at the bottom to see the error.

:cry:

Ok, I just reinstalled all files and am still not getting any results when i click on the RSS feed. I don't have a tag in the header, could that be the problem? I opted to put it only in the footer...

I can not understand.

ok. I guess I'm doing something wrong. I will have to remove it as it isn't working for me.

Did you visit my site?
