I get SiteMap error from Google Webmaster Tools that line 8 is missing xml tag. sitemapategories.xml, sitemapproducts.xml etc, etc sitemaps are accepted by Google but not sitemapindex.xml - document shows zero(0) written.

Any constructive comments?

Mike

You're not running 1.5 so you don't have to do it (and shouldn't).

Thank you very much.

so is this Add-on 1.39 compatible?

You're not running 1.5 so you don't have to do it (and shouldn't).

Maybe someone will write the documentation, understandable to all. Or "Mission Impossible"?

How's this..

New Installation Instructions

1. BACK UP your database & store.
2. Unzip the SitemapXML package to your local hard drive, retaining the folder structure.
3. Rename the "admin" folder in the "sitemapXML" folder to match the name of your admin folder.
   
   • sitemapXML/admin/
   
   
4. Upload the files from "sitemapXML" to the root of your store. (DO NOT upload the "sitemapXML" folder, just the CONTENTS of this folder
   (copy ALL of the add-on files to your store!! Most issues are caused by store owners who decide to NOT load ALL of the module files)
5. IF your are running Zen-Cart 1.5.x. Run install-sitemapxml.sql (If you are running Zen Cart 1.3.9, SKIP THIS STEP!)
   
6. Go to Admin->Tools->Sitemap XML and click "Install SitemapXML SQL".
7. Go to Admin->Configuration->Sitemap XML and setup all parameters.
8. Go to Admin->Tools->Google XML Sitemap (If error messages occur, change permissions on the XML files to 777).
9. To have this update and automatically notify Google, you will need to set up a Cron job via your host's control panel.

Hi DivaVocals,

How's this..

Thank you. You do not understand my sarcasm. But you really help me. I will definitely take advantage of the proposed option documentation. Although confident that this will not help get rid of the issues mentioned.

Yep I did miss the sarcasm..

However, I think what I posted actually would help.. Letting folks know explicitly that the SQL file is not required for v1.3.9 is a good way to make sure folks stop asking the question.. (and the fact that folks keep asking the SAME question is probably the best reason to be explicit)

I hope to help. But not sure. Be sure I rewrite readme. Thank you!

What's the difference between "needs to 1.5.0" and "do not need to 1.3.h"?

There is no difference, but while this is clear to you and me and others, not everyone will understand that this means "you do not need this file if the version of Zen Cart you are running is v1.3.9".. Based on my own experience in writing mod instructions, given that this one step in the directions is being questioned fairly frequently, it might be better to just spell it out so that it leaves no doubt in the mind of the reader, and the question stops being asked..
