All of the "BOX_HEADING_*" stuff is defined in the /admin/includes/languages/english.php file.

 

Make sure that is all still there, and you didn't wipe that file out.

 

Thanks phi148,

 

It looks like some code in that file is missing from as compared to a backup I have from last month. I have the most recent backup on another computer, so I should be able to get it fixed within the next few days.

 

Thanks for directing me on where to look:)

The problem still exists for me. After having a chance to investigate, it looks like I had added some code to catalog/admin/includes/languages/english.php when it was supposed to be added to catalog/includes/languages/english.php in step 3. of the install instructions.

 

STEP 3
-------------
Open catalog/includes/languages/yourlanguagehere.php (e.g. english.php) file:


###Add before / above the last ?> tag:

define('BOX_INFORMATION_RSS', 'Catalog Feed');


###Find:

define('IMAGE_BUTTON_IN_CART', 'Add to Cart');


###Add under it:

define('IMAGE_BUTTON_MORE_INFO', 'More information');

 

I thought maybe this was causing the issue, but I have corrected this and the problem in the above screenshots still exists. I am continuing to try and go through the instructions again. If anyone has any further thoughts on what area of code and possibly what file is screwed up, I would be most appreciative:)

Problem solved, I feel so stupid:)

 

I had inadvertantly overwritten the admin/includes/languages/english.php with this same file in the other includes directory...catalog/includes/languages/english.php.

 

Luckily, I had a backup of this file, and everything seems to be ok now:)

 

Thanks for your attention to this thread.

Hi Guys,

 

I just noticed that this contrib breaks when used with CSS Buttons Everywhere

 

Both the buttons in the feed are affected:

 

<img src="http://fakeurl.com/shop/<div class="cssButton Add to Cart </div>" border="0">

 

Unfortunately I haven't got the skill to fix this myself, so I just though I'd let you know.

 

Cheers.

 

I am having this issue as well. I am using CSS Buttons and they do not show in the feed. Is there a way to show CSS Buttons in the feed?

 

My feed is here... http://derbydogma.com/rss.php

hi

 

Is it possible to code the rss.php so it strips out html from title?

 

feedvalidator gives me error, cause i have some html in title (bold and br)

 

i.e.

<title><b>Tool</b> <br>04.09.2007 - Šalata - Zagreb (21:00)</title>

Hi all,

 

I've installed version 1.1 to get a seperate RSS feed for each category, Am I right in thinking that's whats this contribute does?

 

If I'm on the right path then I have an error.

When I go to category 1 and click the rss button the items for that category go into the rss feed, all is well.

Then when I go to category 2 and click the rss buttin the items for category 2 are added to the bottom and the URL stays the same.

The doc for Version 1.1 mention a category id, is there something if missed I reall want this to work.

The url I'm getting is

http://www.zantayartprints.com/rss.php/language/en

Should ther be a category ID added to this, the only area I have the RSS button is on the footer bar.

 

Any help welcome

A quick bug Fix which I do not have time to package. With each product link, the oscId was added to the RSS feed..not very safe nor pretty:

 

To fix this change:

// RSS Links for Ultimate SEO (Gareth Houston 10 May 2005)

$link = tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $id, 'NONSSL', false);

 

with

// Correct RSS Links for Ultimate SEO without OscId (Phocea 20/06/2007)

$seo = ( defined('SEO_URLS') ? SEO_URLS : false );

$seo_rewrite_type = ( defined('SEO_URLS_TYPE') ? SEO_URLS_TYPE : false );

$link = tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_INFO, 'products_id=' . $id, 'NONSSL', false, true);

if ($seo_rewrite_type == 'Rewrite') {

// We remove the oscid distributed by the user session used in this script

$link = substr($link, 0, strlen($link)-strlen(strstr($link,'?')));

} else {

$link = substr($link, 0, strlen($link)-strlen(strstr($link,'&osCsid')));

}

Hi Greg,

 

Can you verify the file that this code is found in? Is it catalog/rss.php?

 

Also, is this necessary if I am not using the Ultimate SEO contrib? I'm using SEO-G. Thanks for any clarification you may be able to provide.

I using the RSS Feed v1.22-ecommerce

 

step 1

You (as the admin) can decide on a 'per product basis' whether a product should or shouldn't be added to the feed. You can do this by simply going to the admin section -> Catalog -> Categories / Articles -> Select you article / product of choice and click the 'edit' button. You'll notice that there's a new checkbox (Add this product to the RSS feed:) on the edit page. If you leave this checkbox checked, the product will be added to the feed. If you uncheck it, the product won't be added to the feed.

 

But i cant see any check box in the edit page to click the Rss feed for product..

So how can i solve the problem

Thank you

in Admin section, make sure your items are checked to "add this item to rss"

by default old items aren't.

Hope this helps

 

 

I need to mess with my admin section more, mine always defaults to clicked :)

But in the database its self all my products have the value of 1

 

wouldn't this comand ALTER TABLE products ADD products_to_rss TINYINT default '1' NOT NULL;

make them all active ?

utf8_encode only supports iso-8859-1 encoded strings. what can i do to get rid of this encoding?

 

In my shop I use iso-8859-9 encoding which is turkish and unfortunately when we use utf8 encoding it takes iso-8859-9 encoded string as iso-8859-1 and the result is garbage.. I tried iconv() and other stuff but the result was not successful. any ideas?

I answered my own question :) problem solved. I got rid of all the utf-8 encodings and changed the header to show iso-8859-9 encoding instead of utf-8

 

this is the rss.php file with 1.22 ecommerce add-on

The latest version from Bisente looks like it might carry a SQL Injection bug in it.

 

Anyone more familiar with it please let me know if I am wrong.

 

In rss.php line around line 88 find

// Create SQL statement

$category = $_GET['cPath'];
$ecommerce = $_GET['ecommerce'];

if ($category != '') {
 // Check to see if we are in a subcategory
 if (strrpos($category, '_') > 0) {
$category = substr($category, strrpos($category, '_') + 1, strlen($category));
 }
 $catTable = ", products_to_categories pc ";
 $catWhere = 'p.products_id = pc.products_id AND pc.categories_id = \'' . $category . '\' AND ';
}

 

at line 88, $_GET['cPath'] is not sanitized and is passed straight to the database.

 

Change line 88 to this and it should no longer be vulnerable to exploits by way of this sql injection.

 

$category = preg_replace('/[^0-9_]/', '', $_GET['cPath']);

 

You may be able to get the same kinds of results with tep_db_output, but tep_db_output only encodes 5 characters, where the preg_replace above specifically removes anything that is not 0-9 or an underscore. thus greatly limiting the valid input.
