Hi Renz,
It is better to use the latest version of the module. It is much better and more able. And the next version will support Image Sitemaps, and will add many more features.Quote:

I'd imagine this is affecting our ranking (even if it's slightly then it's not good). Anyone know why it's not picking up on our sitemap? Does this mean that Google isn't finding it either?
Hi Andrew,
I did the installation as per your instructions. When I attempt to create sitemapindex.xml, I get the following error. Kindly help as I am very badly struck
This page contains the following errors:
error on line 1 at column 2: StartTag: invalid element name
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.
Originally thought of creating sitemap externally and then moving it to server. Later saw that the plug in what you have can do much better job. An early help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Hi,
I have installed latest version (1.50) of sitemapxml and when I attempt to create sitemapindex.xml, I end up getting error.
Am able to generate all other xml files except for Sitemapindex.xml.
Kindly advise.

Hi! I have couple of problems with the mod on v1.5.
1. It creates all sitemaps (for categories, news etc), but includes only 2 or 3 of them into sitemapindex (mainpage and products usually). Is there a way to include all created sitemaps into the sitemapindex file?
2. When it creates products and categories files, links starts with /category without preceding http://domain.com that causes google to consider them as wrong links. Is it possible to fix this?
I'm running CEON URI mapping if this matters.
Thanks.
Just want to say thank you, Andrew.
It worked perfectly. :clap:
sitemapxml: 2.1.0
Zencart: v1.3.9h
Hello Andrew,
Just want your advice whether I should go ahead and install the current version or wait for the new one that you will be releasing?
Best Regards
Pretty sure the answer is no as I haven't been able to find any other reference to this on the forum.
but I'll ask anyway,
is it possible to exclude certain categories from being included in the sitemap?
(other than disabling the category)
No one replied to my problems, so I had to solve them myself :-)
1. Reason why not all sitemap files were included into the index is same as with images (described in other topic). Script was stumbling at my '0' folder.
So it is necessary to edit approximately line 255 in /includes/classes/sitemapxml.php
while ($filename = $za_dir->read()) {
replace with
while (($filename = $za_dir->read()) !== false) {
This will handle directory reading correctly.
2. Missing domain part is restored with adding following line to the same file around line 210:
if (substr($loc,0,4)!="http") $loc = 'http://rafcamera.com' . $loc;
Not sure if CEON caused this problem, but such simple solution works fine for me.
Hi Berezin,
I just realized that sitemaps are only being gerenared for one language. I just updated to 3.1.0 14.12.2011, running on 1.3.h, but still, only sitemaps for /en, which is not the primary language are created. Any suggestions? Thanks again.
site is www.dstoreusa.com.br
I have installed your soft: "sitemapxml__formerly_google_sitemap_3-1-014-12-20111332"
on an 1.39H zencart in french. It works great.
I have changed the directories includes/languages/english to /french but in the configuration admin/configuration/sitemap XML the 4 sentences beginning with TEXT_CONFIGURATION are not translated and stay like that. I tried to find this terms in the translated files (directory /french/) like I do usually when this occurs with other add ons.
Can you explain me what to do?
With many thanks
same for meQuote:

I am running zen cart 1.3.9h and wonder which version should be using.
Would the latest version cover it? Or is there a version specific to 1.3.9h?
Thanks for your help.
Yes i would like to know the answer to this also. i have just tried to install the new version. copied all the files and there is no sql file to install on the 1.3.9 versionQuote:

I don't found any EZpages on your site.
I have the /cgi-bin file being executed regularly as a cron job.
The script creates the sitemaps correctly but it generates a debug error every time.
While it appears that the usual cause of such an error is a line after the closing php tag, these files don't have closing tags.Quote:
[13-May-2012 01:00:01] PHP Warning: session_start() [<a href='function.session-start'>function.session-start</a>]: Cannot send session cookie - headers already sent in /home/xxxx/public_html/tienda/includes/functions/sessions.php on line 113

I have checked that the files are identical to the install ones, no extra spaces or lines at the end.
Any clues?
Check your files. You can use my script found_extra_space.Quote:

Of course, because html_header.php actually displays the information. But it happens much later start sessions.Quote:

In addition, the script /cgi-bin/sitemapxml.php buffers (ob_start()) all output before starting the main wrapper index.php. This means that the presence of extra-Space should not affect the output header.
Perhaps there are some features of php-scripts run through Cron. As you run, what is written in the crown?
Show your script /cgi-bin/sitemapxml.php here.
Do you mean what is the Cron command?:Quote:

Thanks.
I installed SitemapXML v2 on zencart 1.3.7. XML files are generated properly except sitemapindex.xml file.
It contains only: </sitemapindex>
I tried to change chmod to 777 but it didn't helped. I tried to reupload all files, changed some options in Configure->Sitemap XML as well but its still not working.
I can not upgrade zen zart itself because I made a lot of changes in various files. What should I do now?
Sorry, but I can not help you - ancient, unsupported version.Quote:

Because all other maps were generated properly I found a function that prepares sitemapindex.xml file.
And there is a function GenerateSitemapIndex() in includes/classes/sitemapxml.php file.
I changed:
to:PHP Code:if ($za_dir = @dir(rtrim($this->savepath, '/'))) {
(...)
And then it worked properly. I think it is more related to zen cart cofigurafion than its version. My host provider requires DIR_FS_CATALOG set to '/' or '//'.PHP Code:if ($za_dir = @dir('/')) {
(...)
Since the debug error was ONLY caused by the cron job using this:
my hosting suggested changing it to this, so it was run via a browser:Quote:
php -q /home/mysite/public_html/shop/cgi-bin/sitemapxml.php rebuild=yes ping=yes
This works, no error!Quote:
lynx --dump http://www.mysite.es/shop/cgi-bin/sitemapxml.php&rebuild=yes&ping=yes
I'm new to the forum, so please forgive me if I am asking this wrong.
What would make the sitemap add on stop generating sitemap files on the 10th file? We have 546,180 products in this example store. We have 14 stores with sitemap implemented in them. When we run the sitemap generator, they all seem to fail at around 500k products. The output from a run below stopped at 514,344 products.
I can show you the same sort of output from a store with 1,126,848 products. It stops in the file named sitemapproducts010.xml just like this run, with around 500,000 products processed. As you can see the output below does not mention the sitemapproducts010.xml file but looking at the output on the server, that is the last file that was being created when it stopped running.
output:

If you want, I can see what you have a problem - for this I will need access to FTP.

I followed the instructions to the letter and I'm still unable to make this MOD to install. I'm running Zen Cart v1.3.8a and I get the following error message when trying to install:

Could someone please help me out?

Hi,
is it normal for sitemap details in Google Webmaster Tools to show /sitemapmainpage.xml submitted 1 indexed -
the other sitemaps, sitemapproducts.xml, categories, e-z pages etc generated by sitemapindex.xml show the number of pages submitted and the number indexed fairly close (total of 596 of 608).
this is happening on 2 sites that I have this module loaded on - is there a reason?
cheers,
Hi,
The other reason I do not know. This problem only you - no one else has no such problem.Quote:

Hi!
Glad to see You! :)

I don't know if it is needed to answer my question? also, do i have to go to google webmaster to add my website site map or does it automatically send it without me needing to do it? would really appreciate all the help.
Google should crawl your site within 24 hours or so - it is beneficial to add the sitemap ( /sitemapindex.xml) in Google Webmaster Tools so you can see the stats in there as you monitor your site. Data in WMT may take some time to show uo (weeks for inbound and internal links). Also it can be useful to set up the Cron job as per the useful tips in the readme for this plugin.Quote:

I've managed to add it onto google but on one page is on there when typing "site:www.christopherdanielgifts.com" - will it take time for the other pages to appear? As for the cron job, i'm not entirely sure that it is correct. For creating the robot.txt file, I should have it only containing:
0 5 * * * GET 'http://<your_shop_url>/index.php?main_page=sitemapxml'
and then google will index everything so i get a higher ranking, is that correct?
Hello, very very nice module ! :) I like it so much and its working.
But i submit my sitemaps to google webmaster and google says: Parsing Error 4 errors
We were unable to read your Sitemap. It may contain an entry we are unable to recognize. Please validate your Sitemap before resubmitting.
I validate it.. everything is ok.
Please tell me how to fix this
www.sinstore.eu is the site www.sinstore.eu/sitemap.xml ...
I'm using Simple SEO URL 3.8.5 latest and latest version of sitemapXML any suggections ?Quote:

Thanks
Yes, when you add new products you should recreate your sitemap and resubmit to search engines. You will have to do this manually unless you have set up a cron job - which I assume you haven't.Quote:

Properly set up cron. On the site there is information that appears on its own, such as reviews, tetimonials.Quote:

Hi Isaacola,
Just saw that the module is enabled for download. Previously had notice of the activation - now no: (Quote:

For example, SiemapXML generates the following URL (unwanted part shown in red):
http://www.futuregarageservices.co.u...o&cPath=0&products_id=14693
...when it should be:
http://www.futuregarageservices.co.u...ducts_id=14693
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. (I'm currently using Zencart Version 1.3.9h)
Really? Are you sure? Do not try to read the documentation?Quote:

Also after I upgraded on the admin side, I am seeing this when I access Tools - Sitemap XML
Title: TEXT_SITEMAPXML_FILE_LIST
The Headers are showing: TEXT_SITEMAPXML_FILE_LIST_TABLE_FNAME TEXT_SITEMAPXML_FILE_LIST_TABLE_FSIZE TEXT_SITEMAPXML_FILE_LIST_TABLE_FTIME TEXT_SITEMAPXML_FILE_LIST_TABLE_FPERMS TEXT_SITEMAPXML_FILE_LIST_TABLE_TYPE TEXT_SITEMAPXML_FILE_LIST_TABLE_ITEMS TEXT_SITEMAPXML_FILE_LIST_TABLE_COMMENTS TEXT_SITEMAPXML_FILE_LIST_TABLE_ACTION
It's almost like I am missing some type of define file but not sure what I did wrong.
Thanks!
Please ignore this post. The problem was on my side...I forgot to override one file in the language file on the Admin side. Thanks for this awesome upgrade.

Also, can you please elaborate on how to implement the "Start Security Token?"
Thanks very much!
Hi Isaacola,
Thank you for bag report! Quick fix:Quote:

It's very simple.Quote:

Specify any value for this parameter, for example "IsaacolaMap".
After that when you start Sitemap add to the url the parameter token=IsaacolaMap. For ex.: site.com/sitemapxml.html?rebuild=yes&token=IsaacolaMap
When you run Sitemap from the administrator this parameter is automatically substituted. A job for cron will need to adjust the hands.
Upload new version 3.2.6
