Re: Syndicate X-Cart news as RSS 2.0 Channel

I've put test stories up using the news module, and they appear on the website's news page. But the feed made by the news_feed.php file only shows as blank. I get no errors.

I've just checked the news_feed.php file on X-Cart 4.1.9, 4.1.10 installations on our development server and failed to reproduce the issue.
You might need to add output of debug information to the script and check where it fails, etc.

Re: Syndicate X-Cart news as RSS 2.0 Channel

For the news_feed.php, I'm getting these errors:

PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_SL in news_feed.php on line 62
PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in news_feed.php on line 64

They seem to happen at

Code:

$items_code .= <<<EX 

        <item>  

            <title>{$m['subject']}</title> 

            <description><![CDATA[{$m['body']}]]></description> 

            <link>$news_page_url</link> 

            <guid isPermaLink="false">{$m['newsid']}@$news_page_url</guid> 

            <pubDate>$pubDate</pubDate> 

        </item> 



EX; 

    }

Which is interesting, because Dreamweaver's syntax highlighting chokes on the <<<EX string as well.

Try to copy&paste text of provided script using, for example, notepad.
Apparently current editor mangles the file in some way.

PS. I've attached the news_feed.php script to this message, you can try to us it.

Re: Syndicate X-Cart news as RSS 2.0 Channel

Hello,

I got an error while using this latest code (never used before).

Code:

INVALID SQL: 1054 : Unknown column 'date' in 'field list'

SQL QUERY FAILURE:SELECT COUNT(*) as msg_count, MAX(date) AS last_date FROM xcart_newslists AS nl LEFT JOIN xcart_newsletter AS n ON n.listid = nl.listid WHERE nl.avail='Y' AND nl.show_as_news='Y' AND n.show_as_news = 'Y' ORDER BY n.date DESC

Anyone can help me ?

X-CART version 4.1.7

Best regards,

What would need to be adjusted to create a feed with the latest store products?

Is there a version of news_feed.php for 4.4.4?
