At the end of my rss.php output page, i get the following error after a few products have been outputted...

 

Reference to undefined entity 'reg'. Error processing resource 'http://www.console-heaven.net/store/rss.php'. Line 112, Po...

 

Any ideas why this is?

 

Thanks,

Steve

Nope,

 

Still getting this error:

 

Warning: main(../../../catalog/includes/application_top.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/smooth/public_html/catalog/rss.php on line 81

Warning: main(../../../catalog/includes/application_top.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/smooth/public_html/catalog/rss.php on line 81

When clicking the feed, also, where is the icon supposed to show up?

Since I can't delete my last post, and figured out my own stupid mistake, I know get the page popping up.

 

This is the error I get though now:

 

25mm 12-pole Stator (insulated)

 

http://www.smoothair.ca/catalog/product_in...147&language=en

 

The XML page cannot be displayed

Cannot view XML input using CSS style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

Anyone have any idea??

I got it sorted out by using an older version, and it's doing exactly what I want it to do. :)

 

Thanks!

ztrek,

 

i installed your latest update. Yet, as can be seen at my AllThingsTrendy.com RSS Feed, I get the same exact error as ridesign and morb.

 

Pweeaassee hep mi! :'(

 

Thanks,

ztrek,

 

I figured it out. The titles can not contain and ampersand.

 

Hummmmm... is this a code issue with the contribution or did you do this on purpose because the search engines do not like them?

 

Would be nice to know if I'm damaging other areas with their use.

 

Thanks any! As you can see, it's working better now (as I remove the "&'s") :

Hmmmmm.... Now, I have another problem. My AllThingsTrendy CSS Feed only has about 22 of more than 500 products. What have I done to cause this?

 

Anyone with ideas??

 

Thanks any!

I installed the latest version of RSS Feed Contrib. Never had any problems with installation. However, I noticed that the RSS file pulled only 9 products out of 800.

 

Any suggestions on how to fix this?

 

Thanks

Hello,

I have installed this contribution but I'm getting the following message on my rss.php file:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: iconv() in /home/bargain/public_html/shop/rss.php on line 198

I have searched in the forum but couldn't find an answer.

I was wondering if anyone had the same problem or anyone knows how to fix this.

Thanks

I found this on php.net

 

 Here is a code to convert ISO 8859-1 to UTF-8 and vice versa without using iconv.

<?php
//Logic from http://twiki.org/cgi-bin/view/Codev/InternationalisationUTF8
$str_iso8859_1 = 'foo in ISO 8859-1';
//ISO 8859-1 to UTF-8
$str_utf8 = preg_replace("/([\x80-\xFF])/e",
	   "chr(0xC0|ord('\\1')>>6).chr(0x80|ord('\\1')&0x3F)",
		 $str_iso8859_1);
//UTF-8 to ISO 8859-1
$str_iso8859_1 = preg_replace("/([\xC2\xC3])([\x80-\xBF])/e",
		   "chr(ord('\\1')<<6&0xC0|ord('\\2')&0x3F)",
			 $str_utf8);
?>

 

So open up rss.php and do a search and replace

 

find

 

iconv('ISO-8859-15', 'UTF-8',

 

and replace it with

 

preg_replace("/([\x80-\xFF])/e","chr(0xC0|ord('\\1')>>6).chr(0x80|ord('\\1')&0x3F)",

I finally got the RSS Feed contribution to work. Thought I would share just in case any other newbies need an assist.

<br>To get all my products to show in the feed I went to Admin/Configure/Maximum Values and set the "Search Results" to a number over my number of products. I have just under 300 products so I set it to 300.

<br>My feed did not look like an RSS feed at all, I had to remove a line from the rss.php. Here's the line:

<br>echo '<?xml-stylesheet href="http://www.w3.org/2000/08/w3c-synd/style.css" type="text/css"?>' . "\n";

 

I hope this helps!

:thumbsup:

preg_replace("/([\x80-\xFF])/e","chr(0xC0|ord('\\1')>>6).chr(0x80|ord('\\1')&0x3F)",

 

 

This works perfectly for me but mention needs to be made to replace ALL

iconv('ISO-8859-15', 'UTF-8',

with

preg_replace("/([\x80-\xFF])/e","chr(0xC0|ord('\\1')>>6).chr(0x80|ord('\\1')&0x3F)",

in rss.php.

I managed to install this contribution but I have a few problems. The contribution appear to be correct but if I try to read the information with a RRS reader everything is showing correctly except the pictures, the pictures are not showing. And second if I try to check the validation I get the following error:

 

line 20, column 2: Undefined item element: image (18 occurrences) [help]

<image> ^

 

. Please feel free to check the feeds and suggest something.
