Improved SiteMap Display

[miles]

[FONT=Verdana]I just installed 'improved sitemap display' mod and I have noticed some problem with my sitemap.[/FONT]

[FONT=Verdana]1. None of my EZ pages are listed in the site map.

2. As you can see at the image below, there's a bullet & an arrow (mark in red) at the bottom of the site map page.[/FONT]

Did anyone ever experienced with such bug? How to fix it?

It just so happens I installed the same mod last night, and found the same -->
I just edited the tpl_site_map_default.php file and cleared out all that I didn't need.

And I think you need to make sure that the EZ pages are activated for them to be listed.

How to clear out the bullet and the arrow in tpl_site_map_default.php?

How to activate EZ pages to be listed?


Sorry I just can't figure out.

OK, since no one has responded to my questions, I'm glad to say that I have solved those issues.

How to clear out the bullet and the arrow in tpl_site_map_default.php?

I know this is probably out from the original topic. But, if you have installed improved site map display mod, find this directory

\includes\templates\*yourtemplate*\templates

and look for tpl_site_map_default.php file. Scroll down to line 87 (mine), just clear out the arrow -->. That's for the arrow. As for the bullet, scroll up to line 51 and clear out this line

<li class="first"><?php // echo BOX_HEADING_INFORMATION; ?>

That's all.

Now you won't see the bullet in Firefox and no space in IE anymore.

The next one,

How to activate EZ pages to be listed?

Go to Admin -> Tools -> EZ-Pages. Then enable the sidebox for your page and don't forget the number for the sort order.

Hope this helps.

Thnkz for this nice module > Improved SiteMap Display, but i cannot validate site > results >
Validation Output: 3 Errors
Line 176, Column 3: document type does not allow element "ul" here; assuming missing "li" start-tag.
<ul>

Line 183, Column 20: document type does not allow element "li" here; missing one of "ul", "ol", "menu", "dir" start-tag.
<li class="first">Informace <ul>

The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you've placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you've forgotten to close a previous element.

One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as "<p>" or "<table>") inside an inline element (such as "<a>", "<span>", or "<font>").
Line 204, Column 13: end tag for "li" omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified.
</ul>

You may have neglected to close an element, or perhaps you meant to "self-close" an element, that is, ending it with "/>" instead of ">".
Line 176, Column 0: start tag was here.
<ul>

What can I do with it??? PLZZZZ help me

Hi, clyde

Thanks for another nice add-on. I have a question here: I still couldn't find my newly added items in my information sidebox, such as faq and about us, etc.

Who could help me to deal with?

Thanks in advanced,

Hello! I'm using this mod and have it working just fine. Issue has been brought up from my SEO guy...We have Magic SEO URLs added on and this is what I've been told:

As far as I can see, the problem remains all those redirecting links. Google is unclear what your site structure is, so cannot award page rank.

Examples.

There are literally hundreds of these.


All of these are from the sitemap, so this may be why I cannot get any Pagerank on my site and why we are a bit stagnant in SERPS. Any help on this? Thanks!

All the Improved Sitemap Dsiplay add-on does is add a few additional features to the default Zen Cart sitemap.. It has NOTHING to do with SEO.. I would suggest posting your query in a new thread so that SEO experts can help you sort out the issue..

It's in the code of the addon for the sitemap. It's not displaying the URLs that Magic SEO generates...

[Website Rob]

Your Sitemap is getting its links from the Product Listing page.

doodlebuckets . com/babies-255/baby-bunches-283/

Baby Bunch Bouquet - Boy Gift Basket
doodlebuckets . com/baby-bunch-bouquet-boy-gift-basket-p-2804.html

But when one uses the link and goes to the Product Description page, the URL is changed to:
doodlebuckets . com/baby-bunch-bouquet-boy-gift-basket-2804


The SiteMap module would appear to be working as it should. The URL problem is a result of the Magic SEO rewrite which is also causing Duplicate Content - which is bad.
