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

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.

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....

This was included into the core, if you are having problems with the rss.php included in the core, please report it in the bugs section.
What language issues are you having?

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.
