No one answered this.

I,m getting this also, The XML page cannot be displayed
Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.

XML document must have a top level element. Error processing resource 'http://www.mydomain.com/sitemapreviews.xml'.

Any one know what this mean.

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed

Line Number 34, Column 61: <loc>http://www.bendisskin.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=34</loc>

I guess it doesn't like the second "="? Is there a way to fix this so it doesn't produce this error?

This is a sitemap for search engines and is not meant to be viewed in a browser. You need this, though, to help improve your organic search engine result placement (SERP) in the search engines. I recommend updating this sitemap every time you make any changes to your categories, products, meta tags, or anything else in your website. The search engines respond more and place a higher value on your content when you are pinging them with updated sitemaps as it shows that the site's content is actively changing and isn't static.

I think that you are confusing this with the zen cart sitemap that is displayed on your site for visitors to quickly find what they are looking for.

It will throw error if there are no reviews.
Try opening other .xml files in the root of your store and they will display, if there is some content.

Thanks,

When I clicked on the sitemapproducts.xml, URLs in this Google Sitemap: 476 and sitemapcategories.xml, 56 etc. I got this message only when I click on the sitemapreviews.xml. I see now what you are talking about.

Thanks lankeeyankee, and ckosloff.

This version is compatible whit zencart 1.3.7?

For anyone wanting to remove the OLD version of sitemap, run this script from the root of your store (assuming you have shell access)

Code:

---

rm admin/googlesitemap.php
rm admin/images/google-sitemaps.gif
rm admin/includes/boxes/extra_boxes/googlesitemap_tools_dhtml.php
rm admin/includes/extra_datafiles/googlesitemap.php
rm admin/includes/languages/english/googlesitemap.php
rm admin/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/googlesitemap.php
rm admin/includes/languages/italian/googlesitemap.php
rm admin/includes/languages/italian/extra_definitions/googlesitemap.php
rm admin/includes/languages/russian/googlesitemap.php
rm admin/includes/languages/russian/extra_definitions/googlesitemap.php

and this db patch

Code:

---

SET @configuration_group_id=0;
SELECT (@configuration_group_id:=configuration_group_id) FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_title= 'Google XML Sitemap' LIMIT 1;
DELETE FROM configuration WHERE configuration_group_id = @configuration_group_id AND configuration_group_id != 0;
DELETE FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_id = @configuration_group_id AND configuration_group_id != 0;

---

I installed google sitemap 2.1 following the procedure with zencart 1.3.7.

I do not see: Admin->Tools>Google XML Sitemap

Any ideas?

Thanks for the support.

Yes, you can define new 'Products order by'.
