Jack_mcs Posted October 31, 2007 Author Share Posted October 31, 2007 The infobox displays a number of news feeds, depending on the setting in admin. When you click on More Info, a page is opened where the feed is expanded. The More Info link is a standard link. If you mouse over it, you should see the link in the browser. If it is not there, then something is wrong with the code. If it is but is wrong, maybe it has to do with the feed you are using. Try one of those mentioned in the readme to see if it works correctly to isolate the problem.

Snoboreders Posted November 4, 2007 Share Posted November 4, 2007 Jack, A few questions and/or problems: I just installed it, and everything went smoothly (thank you for the simple install). Like Dameko, I get the same error when I go to artifexshirts.com/rss_reader. Yet for some reason, it works when it is included in my column_left: http://www.artifexshirts.com/news.php. Here there is a list of the default rss feeds. I'm curious as to why the /rss_reader page is not working properly. Also, I cannot figure out how to change what is selected in my feed! I have gone to my admin -> tools -> RSS Create and created a new feed, but it does not show up there. Where would this new feed appear? And how do I change the default feeds? Lastly, I would like this feed to be on my index.php page; however, I have neither column_left nor column_right included. Is there anyways I can put this feed on my index page? Sorry for the burdensome post, but I really appreciate all you have done for the oscommerce community. Thanks, Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stunami Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 hey jack, i would like to move the contrib from the shop area to the admin area so i can monitor updates to oscommerce contribs each time i log into my shop. that being the case is it a simple case of moving the shop area files into the admin section or, off the top of your head, is there more to it than that? regards, stuart Quote A crash reduces your expensive computer to a simple stone.

Jack_mcs Posted November 7, 2007 Author Share Posted November 7, 2007 There's no reason why it won't work if the appropriate changes are made. You would need to follow the instructions but make the changes to the admin files instead of the shops (admin/includes/filenames.php instead of includes/filenames.php). The include page that displays the feeds may not work in admin without some adjustement since admin handles the includes differently.

Jack_mcs Posted November 14, 2007 Author Share Posted November 14, 2007 Some hosts have the open url option turned off for security reasons. You will need to ask them if they will enable it.

cleverflo Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 Hi Jack, Thank you very much for this great contribution. I have just installed it and it's working perfectly. I just have 1 layout problem: the title RSS News appears twice in my right column. I have tried to amend the rss news box without success. Your help would be much appreciated.

mcbsolutions Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hi Jack, thanks for the contribution. I was wanting to display feeds in a regular page such as information.php as opposed to the infobox. Not sure best way to code this. Thanks for the help!

Steve I haven't tried it but you should be able to copy the code from the infobox into the information page. But I don't know that the links would work properly that way.

ollyno1uk2 Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I have instellled this contrib and it all works fine apart from the top link doesn't work and then the next does. The next doesnt etc This is to read more of the article. I would also like to just display the feed in a table rather than the info box. I'm not sure which file to look at to take the code out of - I assume its in include/boxes/rss_news.php Thanks a lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osCshop Posted March 14, 2008 Share Posted March 14, 2008 I was wanting to display feeds in a regular page such as information.php as opposed to the infobox. Because of the same reason I've installed this old contribution (jan 4 '05) based on your work. It gives a clean page.. without the feed :-( I would love to have a rss page (no info boxes). Would you like to overthink to add such a page to your latest RSS News contribution Jack? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ollyno1uk2 Posted March 15, 2008 Share Posted March 15, 2008 aha - Perhaps it would be better to look in this code as probably easier to modify than the infobox versions. Any idea why not only every other one of my links would be working? http://www.ollysguitar.com - currently in column left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted March 15, 2008 Author Share Posted March 15, 2008 If it fails with other feeds, then it is a coding problem, which I would think would have come up by now. If not, it is the feed.

Aha, I wasn't aware that RSS News v1.3 had a RSS news page :blush: I've installed it and it works great. Thank you!

thoeng Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Hi, I have installed this contribution flawlessly. it can be viewed here The thing is that if you take a look of my column and the info box seems screwed e.g: no bullets, no line break, no images even after "more news" is clicked. the rss_reader.php seems in bad spacing. The feeder is actually my own blog (created with wordpress) and using RSS 2.0. Here is the main blog Please help me. Regards, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoeng Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 and [...] link on rss_reader.php doesn't work. I wonder if this is problem with wordpress RSS feeder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparky76 Posted April 21, 2008 Share Posted April 21, 2008 Thank you very much for your contrib. It's the best one in my opinion (and I've tried all of them). Though I ran in some trouble. If I am clicking on More Feeds, I get the same strange error as some of the others: "Cannot redeclare startelement() (previously declared in .../rss_reader.php:46) in catalog/includes/modules/rss_reader.php on line 68". I assume that a variable is already defined, but I cannot find out which one. The other thing is German Umlauts. I got some cryptic characters - strangely only in the headers. Can anyone help?

Jack_mcs Posted April 21, 2008 Author Share Posted April 21, 2008 The can't redclare problem is due to the code being included more than once. That happens a lot with templated sites. But even if yours isn't using a template, you will need to isolate where the extra call is coming from. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to do that.

sparky76 Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Thanks for your quick answer. Indeed, I'm using STS, so I think I have to deactivate the more news-link. But is there a workaround for my problem with all the special chars in the headline? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted April 22, 2008 Author Share Posted April 22, 2008 I haven't ran across a problem with the special characters before. If you want to post the feed I will look at it but it may well be some time before I do.
