Shirster, I had the same problem. Uninstall and then re-insert the SQL statements through phpMyAdmin. It went through for me fine and it works - except I get this error when I generate the XML files:

ERROR: Google Category Sitemap Generation FAILED!

The files seem to work okay - though I don't know if it is only writing some of them. And, I don't know if that error is connected to your problem - but try inserting through phpMyAdmin and see how it works for you.

I have instelled this excellent mod, and AFAIK the installation was a success, once I but I find that I seem to have some things duplicated in my Admin>Configuration>Google XML Sitemap. Here is the list of 'variables'
Compress XML File
Products changefreq
Category changefreq
Category priority
EZPages changefreq
EZPages priority
EZPages changefreq
EZPages priority
Lastmod tag format
Products priority
Use Google Sitemaps Stylesheet
Use Google Sitemaps Stylesheet
XML directory
XML directory
EZPages Header
EZPages Sidebox
EZPages Footer
EZPages Header
EZPages Sidebox
EZPages Footer

I don't suppose the duplication really matters, and I don't know whether this question has been asked before, but for the sake of tidiness, could anyone please instruct me as to how I might eliminate this problem?

I have a few questions:
1) Is this the right one: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=544
2) Will this work with the Ultiamte URL addon?(Using both find_path and mod_rewrite)
3) Assuming both of those are yesses do I need to install all of the SQL patches, or just the install one?

Please, does anyone know if this will work with the Ultimate URL addon?

Hi

I purchase a site map for my whole sites and install it, I need to uninstall the site map mod I got from here.
How do I install it? And there is any file was override I need to modify or change while doing this uninstalls?

Thank you

Are you certain you created sitemapcategories.xml and set proper write permissions on the file before attempting to generate the feed?

Easiest would be to run the uninstall.sql (included the mod zip archive). Then run install.sql again.

If that does not work you can track down the relevant entries in the configuration table in your ZC database via phpymyadmin and delete each manually.

You might want to document your various mod settings before doing this.

And I recommend first backing up ... of course.

Uninstall with uninstall.sql that comes with the mod. Then remove the mod files you uploaded. No core Zen Cart files are altered when installing this mod.

Note the Google Sitemap module for Zen Cart which we are referring to in this thread and other sitemaps are different animals. This mod just uploads your info to Google so Google has more info on what to crawl on your site (and also generates helpful webmaster related suggestions about your sites on your domain).

The sitemap application you purchased likely just generates a sitemap file for your entire domain which then you post a link on your sites pages. It likely has no overlap with Google Sitemap.

Can you provide a URL to the program you purchased?

Note Zen Cart also comes with it's own built-in sitemap functionality, which you can also disable but I don't recommend.

It's all just spider food!

Good luck.

This is off-topic for this thread. With that said I just don't see the big advantage.

Besides generating a sitemap for and pinging Google, the product does the same for Yahoo and Ask. It is inexpensive and you do get free support and only pay a little more for installation.

But it is not Zen Cart specific and it is unclear if some or all of your shop product pages, category pages and other shop pages will be included in the various feeds generated.
