OpenCart Community

i've written a little rss mod, creates a feed of the latest products added to your shop.

doesn't really fit into the existing contribution categories, so i'll post it here. please feel free to make any changes/suggestions and post them here. if there is some way to make this type of thing fit into the opencart model better, let me know.

installation instructions are included in install.txt
works with opencart 0.7.6.1

Just installed it mate, good stuff!

Thanks, this works like a charm. Lovely!

nice one, d/l'ing

Anyone have this working on the current version (0.7.7)? I am not getting any posts/products in the feed. Good Job it worked great in y previous installation.

sorry, i haven't updated to 0.7.7 so i'm not sure if it works yet.

just checked, works fine with latest version.

, not for me, maybe I messed with something in my installation I will have a look.

It does work with the current version.

Hello i test rss on last version of opencart and after i add a last products rss give a error

"The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet.
Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.
An invalid character was found in text content. Error processing resource 'http://audio-car.ro/rss.php'. Line 105, Positio...
Track â"

Any ideea what it is

search the rss source for that text and you'll see the problem.

looks like some bad/unrecognized character data in one of your product listings.

Problem solved ther is a " . " dot in the rss script in line 58 that cause the problem.

$prod_desc . = htmlentities('
resize($result['filename'], 100, 100) . '" />');

and must be:

$prod_desc = htmlentities('
resize($result['filename'], 100, 100) . '" />');

Now is ok

Thank you

i'm pretty sure the change you just made will exclude the product text from the RSS and will only show the product image in the feed.

the problem is in your product data. by making the above change you are just "working around" the problem by not including that data.

Now the problem is fix i find the trouble i copy description from a file that have diacritics and in products description it show "?" and i replace the missing caracter and all ok .

Works great for me.
check it out i have a rss button next to my search bar, and an information page for rss feeds!

Hi mcphearson, would it maybe be possible to post the code you use for your RSS Feed in:

http://ourusedunderwear.com/index.php?c ... tion_id=15

It's so cool and I can hardly wait to implement the same "look" on my own Opencart... if you changed the allready posted RSS code, feel free to post it too 

Mmmm... sweet addons....

mcphearson your http://ourusedunderwear.com/index.php?c ... tion_id=15 page has some broken images, 'SPONSORS' is spelled wrong, shows no image.... so i can tell you still got work to do there, but I'm more curious in 2 things...

where did u get the code for all the different bookmaring engines and are u actually planning on selling used panties

Hey d77,
Please help with this, I tried your extension and got this error when I tried using feedreader to build an rss

"The URL you entered does not appear to be a valid feed. We encountered the following problem: Error on line 23: The entity "acirc" was referenced, but not declared."

When I tried using it with a module in joomla that just asks you for your rss url to display the contents on a web page, I got an error there too. It said "Error loading feed data."

So whats wrong exactly? BTW this is on 0.7.7 version of OpenCart

Hope you could suggest a fix.
