RSS Feed contribution support thread

[chiroptera]

Seems to be a problem with the Simple Template System (STS). If STS is disabled it works - if enabled, STS catches the output of rss.php. Is there someone out who has solved this problem?

[buysellleasetrade]

In this code By Phocea:

 

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

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

 

 

If I am running SEO by Chemo does the above code need to be set from false to true?

Great contribution! Thanks!

 

I installed it and it seems to b working, but whenever I click on the rss.php link, the pages is not displayed but a message pops up and tries to save it on the computer.

 

Does anybody know why is that? How can I fix it?

As I wrote some postings above, I found that this is related to an installed template system. Do you have a template system like STS installed? Think there should be a simple fix for the problem, but I can not find it ;) <_<

[cardsup]

No.. I do not have a template system like STS installed.

 

It probably has something to do with the .htaccess, but I can not figure it out....

Found a solution :-)

To get RSS Feeds 2.0 to work with STS open rss.php

FIND

require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_RSS);

AFTER ADD

$sts->display_template_output = 0;

[cardsup]

Thanks... but that does not work for me, since I do not have STS...

Unfortunately I found another problem - UTF8 seems not to work in $rss_title. German Umlauts are not encoded correctly in the RSS title tag :huh:

f.e.

-> Armbänder

should be

-> Armbänder

 

Edit: When line 245 of rss.php

$rss_title =  utf8_encode (replace_problem_characters($rss_title));

is replaced with

$rss_title =  replace_problem_characters($rss_title);

it works :blink:

Hi,

 

I have just installed the latest version 2 but I am having this error below. I am sure I have gone through everything but obviously missing something silly :-(

 

-------------------

Fatal error: Call to undefined function getallheaders() in /home/xxxxx/public_html/rss.php on line 259

 

-------------------

 

Anyone know what I have missed ?

 

Thanks

Another thing... just tried to see if I can add the feed to feedburner.com.

 

I got this error:

 

The URL you entered does not appear to be a valid feed. We encountered the following problem: Error on line 2: The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed.

 

Sorry

 

This feed does not validate.

line 2, column 0: XML parsing error: <unknown>:2:0: xml declaration not at start of external entity [help]

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

With the help of the coder of STS I found a much better solution that the above.

Here is how I got RSS 2.0 to work with STS:

In sts_default.php find

if (strstr($scriptbasename, "popup") || strstr($scriptbasename, "info_shopping_cart"))
  return ''; // We don't use template for these scripts

and replace with

if (strstr($scriptbasename, "popup") || strstr($scriptbasename, "rss")|| strstr($scriptbasename, "info_shopping_cart"))
  return ''; // We don't use template for these scripts

Hope this will help other RSS + STS users.

Great contribution! Thanks!

Does anybody know why is that? How can I fix it?

 

Yes! What I did was the following:

 

FIND THIS LINE:

 

header('Content-Type: application/rss+xml; charset=UTF-8');

 

REPLACE WITH THIS:

 

header('Content-Type: application/xml; charset=UTF-8');

 

 

Done.

[cardsup]

THANKS! That worked.

 

However, now I get this error:

 

XML Parsing Error: xml declaration not at start of external entity

Location: http://www.site.com/rss.php?language=&cPath=21

Line Number 2, Column 1:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

^

Are you using the ecommerce=X option? In other words are you calling the script like this?

 

www.somesite.com/rss.php?ecommerce=X

 

or like this?

 

www.somesite.com/rss.php

[cardsup]

I am not sure how to use the ecommerce=X option.

 

I have two rss links on the page.

 

http://www.somesite.com/folder/rss.php?lan...e=&cPath=21

http://www.somesite.com/folder/rss.php?language=en

 

Both return the same error message. I tired calling manually a link

 

http://www.somesite.com/folder/rss.php?eco...e=&cPath=21

 

but it got the error too.

I dont have STS either.

The reason I asked was that when I enter this URL for my site:

 

Are you using the ecommerce=X option? In other words are you calling the script like this?

 

www.somesite.com/rss.php?ecommerce=X

 

I get this error:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------^

 

When I dont use the ecommerce=x option I get the right XML.

Bit of a long shot, but I was wondering if anybody knows how to get a feed to use new specials or specials products?

 

If you can, thanks in advance

 

Or I'll just wait quietly in the corner over here, next to the pringles...

I had my host install an SSL certificate a while back... and ever since my RSS feed hasn't worked. I can't for the life of me figure out what's going on, since I have SSL turned on only for checking out. Any ideas?

[velo1ever]

I have slow been trying to add this, but having problems..I will admit, I have a template, which I thought I modified all the code to work, but I am still a no go..

 

I am receiving this error...

Fatal error: Call to undefined function getallheaders() in /xxx/xxxx/xxxx/rss.php on line 258

 

Code on line 258:

$headers = getallheaders();

 

Any help would be awesome!

Thank you!

[quick]

Could any one can help me out of this, I have been tried almost one month, I am not success. I have been try the following mother.

 

who can't get the feeds created by rss.php to validate I have figured out how to fix the problem. If you get an error like this

[line 2, column 0: XML Parsing error: :3:0: xml declaration not at start of external entity]

then read the included text file to see how I fixed the problem.

 

Any advice or tips will be great appriciate.

Can't help you, I'm afraid. But what I can tell you is that I don't get this error when hosted locally, but I do on the web. The only difference I can think of is SSL. I'll work on it.

RE getallheaders

 

Can't help you, I'm afraid. But what I can tell you is that I don't get this error when hosted locally, but I do on the web. The only difference I can think of is SSL. I'll work on it.

Found this link: http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showthread.php?p=4768191:)

 

seems to be saying the problem is that php is not installed as an Apache Module. It did, however suggest an emulated function which worked for me:

 

on rss.php

 

After

 

$navigation->remove_current_page();

 

I added this line

 

function emu_getallheaders() { foreach($_SERVER as $name => $value) if(substr($name, 0, 5) == 'HTTP_') $headers[str_replace(' ', '-', ucwords(strtolower(str_replace('_', ' ', substr($name, 5)))))] = $value; return $headers;}

 

I then replaced

 

function getallheaders()

 

with

 

function emu_getallheaders()

 

It seems to work fine.

 

I should point out your neighbours cat knows more about php than me, so I don't know how or why it works, or if it opens ip a flood of security problems or even a plague of locusts.

If someone does see a problem with it please let me know.

 

Also if anyone can sort out a specials only feed, please let me know (ask your neighbours cat)
