SitemapXML v.2

[rjspomer]

I know this may be a stupid questions and it was probably answered but I did not find it so here goes.

I installed as per instructions to the right directories changed permission to 777. I install install.sql When I click on tools/ Google site map I get and error 404 page.

What did I miss.

This is the reffered page

|http://www.rjfinewood.com/wood-tissue-box-cover/admin/FILENAME_GOOGLESITEMAP.php?zenAdminID=16uivqpn0m14kqm5h319ihahj7"

The only thing I changed on the above was the name of my admin folder.

Thanks

I successfully used the old version for quite a while on a old zen and have uninstalled the old SQL per this thread.
Now with 1.3.9h and this new install---

I have read the Read me and this whole thread "several times"and just can not seem to get "some" of my site maps to generate without errors.
I have permissions to all xml files to 777, also just for fun-- /includes/templates/template_default/css/gss.xsl is now 777.
[Even though the issue is supposed to be resolved in 1.3.9h for gss.xsl.]

But for example, categories, after step one in tools /Sitemap XML, always when clicked get me ;

XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location: http://www.(mysite/mystore)/sitemapcategories.xml
Line Number 1, Column 1:

the xml in /mystore appears ok, but I can't read code well and Google rejects it.
my config./setting - all three are false.
the popup in step one looks ok until i click on the link and get the above error.

Now one thing I have done prior is add CSS Flyout Menu 1.3.9 for a category side box.
Is this messing it up or what could I be missing here please?

I'm having the same issue as rjspomer above.

I installed the module, ran the SQL install, peeked at all the config settings, and then went to tools->SitemapXML.
When I "click here" in Step 1. to create / update my site map, I get a popup that just sends me to a 404 error and what looks like the zencart sitemap (which is distressing, as it links to "important links" pages which aren't in use and I don't have active on my site anywhere).

I changed the xml files to 777. Still no luck.

Anyone?

Hi rainestudios

My problem was I still have Google XML Sitemap in the tools folder and I was clicking on that instead of Sitemap XML

[rainestudios]

Ahhh -- I've never installed that, so that's not my issue.

Well I finally realized a could turn off the CSS Flyout Menu as a test and just did so. I then put on my regular category side box but I still get the same results.
So that's not it.

Well, I tried logging into store with Explorer instead of my faithful ol FireFox and did not get my warnings in the Step 1. popup as quoted in my prior Dec. 22, 10 post.

And resubmitted (Step 2) and low and behold, Google "and Yahoo" accepted it, but not Ask (cURL Error: "couldn't connect to host" reading ....)
or
Microsoft (cURL Error: Error http_code "404" reading ....)

I just wanted Google to work for now, not sure of that yet, need to see go there and find out. But Yahoo was a plus, and no popup errors

I thought it may help those who are just using FireFox to get past this stage. Now on to the rest..... or get some rest, whatever.

I installed this sitemap generator and its generating data into the category and the products files.


My problem is that the only file mentioned in sitemapindex is the category file.

I dont know why the coding in sitemapindex doesnt also include the product file.

Any ideas ?

[toyseller]

Ive now got this to work, more by luck, recopied some of the code again and changed admin/config to Use Existing Files = false

Id already tried changing this parameter and copying up the code again, but this time it put both the product and category file into the sitemap.

Hallo,

I am trying to use the Sitemapxml-2.1.0 module.

I have an issue with pinging:

Although google seems to be working OK, all the others do not. I get the following message:

Ping Yahoo!
cURL Error: Error http_code "403" reading "<submitted url>"

Ping Ask.com
cURL Error: "couldn't connect to host" reading "<submitted url>"

Ping Microsoft
cURL Error: Error http_code "404" reading "<submitted url>"

I have googled a bit and I think that the default urls are correct.

Yahoo, seems to be shutting down this service from December 2010:

http://developer.yahoo.com/search/si...ification.html

However, the curl errors should not be relevant to it, since the other services seem to be working OK. Do I miss a step or something?

Kind regards,
