Google SitemapAdmin

Hi David,

1. How can i change the 'base url' to match the real situation of my site: under the /store/ directory of the base domain

Sorry, this is very old version - absolutely no time to publish fresh version.

Find this in googlesitemap.php (lines 223-229):

    if(GOOGLE_SITEMAP_XML_FS_DIRECTORY == '') {
      $this->savepath = DIR_FS_CATALOG;
      $this->base_url = HTTP_SERVER . '/';
    } else {
      $this->savepath = rtrim(GOOGLE_SITEMAP_XML_FS_DIRECTORY, '/') . '/';
      $this->base_url = HTTP_SERVER . '/';
    }

Replace by:

    $this->savepath = DIR_FS_CATALOG;
    $this->base_url = HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG;

2. I do have 4 pages of EZPage links. Why sitemapezpages.xml would not show the fact?

1)

Check your settings in Admin->Configurations->Google XML Sitemap:
EZPages Header
EZPages Sidebox
EZPages Footer

2) Sitemap ignore EZ-pages with "External Link URL"

Seems to be a problem with this addon? Using it causes warning errors in google webmaster tools. Says lots of the links have 'too many redirects'. Maybe a seo addon problem instead?

But, using an online sitemap generator works fine.

Hi
When I go to Google it says I have an error
Unsuported file format
This is what it says where should I change this?

Unsupported file format Your Sitemap does not appear to be in a supported format. Please ensure it meets our Sitemap guidelines and resubmit.

Some things you might check are:

That the file uses the correct header. For a Sitemap file, the header can look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
For a Sitemap index file, the header can look like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sitemapindex
xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas<wbr>/sitemap/0.9">
That the namespace in the header is "http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9". Note that this must end in 0.9. If it ends in .9, you'll see an error.

That each XML attribute is enclosed in either single quotes (') or double quotes (") and that those quotes are straight, not curly. If you use a word processing program, such as Microsoft Word, you may find that it inserts curly quotes.

Does anyone have a solution for this? I am getting the same "unsupported file format" error from Google.

rlfreshwater,
1. Turn off "Compress XML File";
2. Delete sitemap*.xml.gz (sitemapproducts.xml.gz, sitemapezpages.xml.gz, sitemapcategories.xml.gz).

Thank you Andrew! I am giving that a try right now ...

Well I tried Andrew's suggestion and it didn't work. I guess I'm just going to give up on this.

What file produce this error?
http://www.queerrepublictees.com/sitemapindex.xml ?
http://www.queerrepublictees.com/sitemapindex.xml ?
http://www.queerrepublictees.com/sitemapproducts.xml ?

How you specify sitemap in Google Webmaster?

rlfreshwater,
I think I found it.
googlesitemap.php
find:

    $header .= '        xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9' . "\n";
    $header .= '        http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/' . ($tag == 'urlset' ? 'sitemap' : 'siteindex') . '.xsd"' . "\n";

replace by

    $header .= '        xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"' . "\n";
    $header .= '        url="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/' . ($tag == 'urlset' ? 'sitemap' : 'siteindex') . '.xsd"' . "\n";
