Running SiteMapXML (3.2.6 17.06.2012 16:13) on Zen Cart v1.5.1.
I noticed that when the sitemap is regenerated, the file /sitemap.xml is created but the file submitted to the search engines is /sitemap/sitemap.xml. It's resulting in file-not-found errors when the search engines ultimately come by to see what's up.
My quick fix is to copy the sitemap.xml file from the root to the /sitemap directory; I'm not sure where to look for the long-term fix.
Hi,
This bug fixed in 3.2.7.Quote:

Wow, Andrew, that was fast! Thanks a bunch.
hi, i try to Submit your Sitemap to goole but i encounter a error :General HTTP error: HTTP 406 error (Not acceptable), HTTP Error: 406, does anyone has this problem?
Hi,
I'm thinking to install this module alongside with Ultimate SEO Urls.
Are they compatible? Is there a better combination?
Hi,
SitemapXML compatible with Zen-Cart and use standart zen-cart api's. So it comatible with Ultimate SEO Urls.Quote:

However, proper structure, good content, and ease of use (especially for search engine spiders) contribute greatly to SEO - and, of course, having something people want and want to link to is also highly important.
I can't speak to the initial question regarding the compatibility of these two modules, but would rank the site maps as more important in the long run. good content and proper structure should more than make up for less than ideal URLs.
Sitemap does not help if you have a site with a poor structure, no unique content, without reviews, inconvenient for visitors.Quote:

Yes, I agree, as a tool, site really allows us to determine how well your site is indexed. And wonder why some of the pages are not indexed.Quote:

CORE zencart usually behaves perfectly... It starts to go pear-shaped when silly add-ons are forced into the system - like facebook nonsense and SEO URL's.Quote:

Hi,
Which WordPress plugin you use to generate a blog SiteMap?Quote:

I did everything in the readme.
Ok I saw that the patch does not have something like google xml file and in page 11x someone explains it's been left there since an earlier version...so I assume it should be ok as it is.
I have an issue with the w3c validator:
Warning No DOCTYPE found! Checking XML syntax only.
The DOCTYPE Declaration was not recognized or is missing. This probably means that the Formal Public Identifier contains a spelling error, or that the Declaration is not using correct syntax, or that your XML document is not using a DOCTYPE Declaration.
Validation of the document has been skipped, and a simple check of the well-formedness of the XML syntax has been performed instead.
How can I change so that the validator returns with no problems?
I understand.. I think the OP was trying to avoid having to install an XML mod for Zen Cart AND installing another one for WordPress.. I gathered he was looking for a way to use ONE XML sitemap module/plugin to capture both WordPress and Zen Cart pages.. My suggestion would gt him there..Quote:

If the XML is correct and the search engines read it, then you have no problem.. what else are you trying to achieve here??Quote:

Not disputing that you cannot capture the blog in the XML sitemap using this module. However, that's NOT what I was suggesting at all. In fact the fact that you cannot capture the blog's URLs in this plugin is what lead me to a different approach..Quote:

Initially I added the category URLs, but then simplified and added just the URL to the Zen Cart HTML sitemap (index.php?main_page=site_map). It's down and dirty, but doing this captured both the blog and the shop in ONE XML sitemap.
Just trying to have everything in order but if you say that it shouldn't affect functionality then it's ok , thanks for replying.
wanted to add a few more thoughts to this post..Quote:

(this is the reverse of my down and dirty WordPress plugin solution which approaches things from the Zen Cart side)Quote:

Here is the sitemap index file for reference.
Thanks in advance for any help :o)
Edit: We are using zencart 1.5.1 and the latest sitemapxml release
I thought about it. But did not do for two reasons:Quote:

But it really has nothing to do with XML. What's the point in adding in SitemapXML such links? To the search engine found this page? Think without this, the search engine does not find the correct page?Quote:

Just want to be clear.. NOT ONCE did I suggest you modify this module to include any additional functionality (in case this is what you walked away from my previous posts with it was NOT what I was suggesting)Quote:

Web crawlers usually discover pages from links within the site and from other sites. Sitemaps supplement this data to allow crawlers that support Sitemaps to pick up all URLs in the Sitemap and learn about those URLs using the associated metadata. Using the Sitemap protocol does not guarantee that web pages are included in search engines, but provides hints for web crawlers to do a better job of crawling your site.
So I can use this to simplify my sitemap by only submitting ONE which includes all the links in my blog and my store.. and again let me be clear, I am NOT suggesting that you change this add-on AT ALL.. (never said that once:no:)Quote:
Here you can specify files or URLs which should be included in the sitemap, but do not belong to your Blog/WordPress.
For example, if your domain is www.foo.com and your blog is located on www.foo.com/blog you might want to include your homepage at www.foo.com
- Note: If your blog is in a subdirectory and you want to add pages which are NOT in the blog directory or beneath, you MUST place your sitemap file in the root directory (Look at the "Location of your sitemap file" section on this page)!
- URL to the page: Enter the URL to the page. Examples: http://www.foo.com/index.html or www.foo.com/home
- Priority: Choose the priority of the page relative to the other pages. For example, your homepage might have a higher priority than your imprint.
- Last Changed: Enter the date of the last change as YYYY-MM-DD (2005-12-31 for example) (optional).
Goodness.. Let me summarize here and move on because now we are going in circles.. I have said a few times here the reason for my suggestion is very simple.. The ORIGINAL question posed by mattee77 wasQuote:

- Add an EZ Page link to the blog, and this module would pick up that URL and include it in the XML sitemap.
- Use a WordPress plugin to manage the whole site's XML sitemaps thereby avoid having to generate on XML sitemap for the store and another for the blog.
To do this he could create his XML sitemap in WordPress using a WordPress plugin. I knew that at least ONE plugin allowed you to include other site URLs as part of your XML sitemap. Using one of these plugins, mattee77 could add additional URLs to the XML sitemap for the store (I suggested using the URL for the Zen Cart HTML sitemap page since it contains all of the product and category links to simplify things).
So you have asked why would anyone do this??? Let me state AGAIN.. You'd do this so that one could submit only ONE XML sitemap which captured both the blog and store URLs. Personally using the options in the XML Sitemap Generator for WordPress plugin is my preferred method if I have both a blog and a store on the same site since it's easy enough to do and it simplifies the management of the XML sitemap for the site... Clearly you disagree with this approach.. and that's fine.. We'll just have to agree to disagree that's all..
Where I claimed this?Quote:

Though this is certainly the path he chose.. I read his post ORIGINAL differently..:smile: and thought that MAYBE.. just maybe.. he knew, but he didn't want to set up more than one sitemap.. My point always was that he doesn't HAVE to setup more than one XML sitemap if he doesn't want to.. It's an alternate approach.. 'tis all..Quote:

So if the products or categories changed, this page would reflect this change and therefore the change will be passed on to the search engines when they crawled the sitemap page..
According to Sitemap.org:
Which has been my experience since adding the URL for the Zen Cart sitemap to my WordPress XML sitemap.. We found the store pages were indexed on the same day the blog pages were indexed..Quote:
Web crawlers usually discover pages from links within the site and from other sites.

using 1.51 zen cart
please anyone can help for these error :
"Can not create file "/home/webusers/xxxxxxxx/xxxxxxxxxxxx.com/www/sitemap/sitemapmainpage.xml". You may need to use your webhost control panel/file-manager to change the permissions effectively."
i did set the permission for folder sitemap xml to 777 already but still can not get the right thing, please help.....thanks.
If I use ANY plug-in sitemap xml, then I wanted to add a blogs sitemap xml files generated by the blog plugin.Quote:

When sitemap writes "sitemap.xml", it's trying to create in the root directory... which is not 777.
Is it required in the root dir for search engines to function ? Can we place it in the sitemap folder and get the seo desired results ?
Is there solution for this problem? or maybe it's not sitemap module issue but my server is not setup for proper RW permissions ?
I get the error below.

Some webhosts do not allow changes to 777 via FTP (for security reasons) and 777 has to be set via C-Panel.
i used c-panel changed permissions to 777 for folder "sitemap xml" under modules and under templates...Quote:

By the way, it is likely that in the latest version 3.2.9 this bug has already does not manifest itself, because in the latest version were corrected a number of errors. If you want to try, I can send you a link to the download.
Hi Guys,
As a_berezin would not entertain a bug hunt I started one myself and have fixed the problem.
The problem being that if you use ceon uri mappings they were not generated in the sitemap that this module creates.
To correct this you need to edit the following file:
/includes/modules/pages/sitemapxml/sitemapxml_ezpages.php
Delete all of the code and replace with:
Now when you force a rebuild of your site maps it will use the ceon uri mappings for your ezpages rather than the standard zen cart query string.PHP Code:<?php

PHP Code:$link = zen_href_link(FILENAME_EZPAGES, 'id=' . $page_query->fields['pages_id'] . ($page_query->fields['toc_chapter'] > 0 ? '&chapter=' . $page_query->fields['toc_chapter'] : ''), ($page_query->fields['page_is_ssl']=='0' ? 'NONSSL' : 'SSL'));
Hope this helps someone :P

It appears that my HINT helped and DH010010 not only found a solution he shared it with the community.. AND he was kind enough to cross post the solution on the CEON URI thread as well.. Whether you decide to (or have already done so) incorporate those changes (or similar changes) into the add-on is fully up to you. I'm just happy that NOW there is a posted solution for those affected by the issue.
I want to clarify - Sitemap file location.Quote:

3) Can sitemap/sitemapcategories.xml and or sitemap/sitemapproducts.xml be submitted individually and not together?
Is there a way to limit the number of products being indexed?
Is there a limit to the number of products a search engines accept? Before they kick you.

Where can these modules be found?
2. Did not understand the question
Some sites allow you to submit your web site to more than just Google, Bing and ask. You would have show the path to your site's xml, in order for them to submit your site.
For example: The direct path that shows the .xml for all your products (http : // www DOT YourDomain DOT com/Directory?/File?.xml)
I hope it makes sense?
3. Yes
How can they individually be submitted?
I would appreciate your help. Thank you.
Sorry for the re-post, did not meet the 7 minute time allowance.
Looking for the direct path that shows the .xml for all your products.
Is the this the path: http:// MyDomain.com/Store/sitemap.xml?
it shows:
http: //MyDomain.com/sitemap/sitemapcategories.xml 2013-04-15
http: //MyDomain.com/sitemap/sitemapezpages.xml 2013-04-15
http: //MyDomain.com/sitemap/sitemapmainpage.xml 2013-04-15
http: //MyDomain.com/sitemap/sitemapmanufacturers.xml 2013-04-15
http: //MyDomain.com/sitemap/sitemapproducts.xml 2013-04-15
And I do not want to show sitemapcategories.xml and sitemapezpages.xml
I hope it makes sense?
1. includes/modules/pages/sitemapxml/Quote:

Let me explain what I need,
When you select the check box in front of “Force rebuild all sitemap*.xml files!” and press send under Admin>Tools> Sitemap XML, the following pages get regenerated in the sitemap/ folder:
Sitemapcategories.xml
sitemapezpages.xml
sitemapmainpage.xml
sitemapmanufacturers.xml
sitemapproducts.xml
sitemapreviews.xml
and sitemap.xml file at the root level gets populated and regenerated with the above files.
How do I prevent the generation of sitemapezpages.xml and sitemapxml_categories.php in both locations; in sitemap/ folder and the sitemap.xml ,file at root?
DELETE THIS FILES!!!!!!!Quote:

Andrew that did it. Thank you.
How often do you recommend updating the site xml? Daily, Weekly, etc.
As often as you add and change the products.Quote:

Would that be a problem for search engines?
NO!!! It's a XML files with xml content!!!Quote:

First: thank you so much for this great module. I use it about 3 years and still love it! Today i've upgrade tot the newest version and noticed something strange (although this strange thing was also happening with the older versionsof sitemapXML).
When I create the sitemap everythings goes great. Categories etc is all fine, but on products sitemap I have a strange issue:
all the product urls are okay, except the urls from one particular Parent Category ("Chunks"). The only generate url is -c-0/"product name". Please see http://www.charms.nl/sitemap/sitemapproducts.xml
and http://www.charms.nl As you can see in the sitemap from the products all the products are good except for the products in parent category chunks. The url on our site is right.
Please notice i'm using SSU (simple seo url) for url rewriting.
Do you have any idea what the problem is? I already tried changing the name of: subcategories, parentcategories. Always followed by a total cache refresh for SSU.
Thanks already!
On your site under "Customers who bought this product also purchased..." the URLs being generated for products in "chunks" also contain "-c-0/name". I do not use SSU, but as the generation of URLs is not consistent on your site I would venture something is off with SSU... You may want to try resetting the affected category and products URLs in SSU.Quote:

Hi,
First off, thanks for your wonderful contributions to the Zencart software.
I am having a little difficulty generating an XML sitemap. I installed the plug-in correctly (I think, as the admin controls seem to be working fine) but when I click "send" under create/update sitemap from within admin>tools>sitemap XML a web page opens with "could not find www.drillplace.comindex.php"
I see the problem with the / missing in that address.
I noticed a similar problem with the plugin specifying a location for the search engines to find the sitemap in the overview section of the admin tools where it indicates http://www.drillplace.comsitemap.xml as the address.
I was able to fix this by changing the filename for the sitemap from sitemap to /sitemap in the config, but I still cannot simply generate an XML sitemap to the sitemap folder.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Warren
just an update to my last post. Sitemap XML has now disappeared from my tools but is still listed in the config?????
OK. I began to think the problem was omitting the instructions for using this mod with the admin user profiles contribution. I never installed any contribution, but it appears stock in 1.5.1. So, next, it now resides in admin access management, but there is nothing called admin settings. Is it called page registration now???? If so, what is the information to enter on this screen, i.e. what page name etc... that the page asks for?????
Just trying to get a better understanding of the install process as it appears the instructions that come with this mod are outdated?
Check your admin configure.php. Constant 'DIR_WS_CATALOG'.Quote:

If I could bug you for one more thing? It seems to be working fine. If I am only using 1 admin profile do I need to add admin page permissions for sitemapXML? If so, what do I input to ZenCarts fields?
Thanks a million Andrew.

Hi,
If you use Superuser profile - no. If any other - yes.Quote:

Hi,
You use unsupported version of Magic SEO URLs.Quote:

Forgive my curiosity, you, yourself, have voluntarily agreed to added two external links on every page of your site???Quote:

No, I did not unless of course it was hidden in some terms and conditions when I purchased.

They both have the same folder structure so not sure which one to install to?
Thanks!
ok im following the instructions for far, i have copied all of the files into the correct folders and created folders with the correct files inside where needed.
im up to:
5.1. IF your are running Zen-Cart 1.5.x. Run install-sitemapxml_only_for_zen-cart-1_5_0.sql (If you are running Zen Cart 1.3.9, SKIP THIS STEP!)
i am running 1.5.0, i dont understand what it means by run ? does it mean the install SQL Patches option under Tools when you log into admin?
Thanks!
Yes....Quote:

A few questions:
1. If I don't want certain sitemaps to be generated (e.g., manufacturers), can I simply delete the corresponding php files from includes/modules/pages/sitemapxml, or do I need to change any code anywhere? If the latter, what exactly do I need to do? (I'm not a programmer, but I can copy&paste or delete... :smile:)
2. How can I control the priority levels for individual pages?
3. How do I force the links in sitemaps to be https rather than http?
BTW, I'm using ZC 1.5.1 and SitemapXML 3.2.6.
Thank you!

Hi Magz,
Yes. If you have no manufacturers in the store, the sitemap for manufacturers will not be created.Quote:
