how to find the source files to edit html??

[market visit]

Hi

I’m trying add video tags for the Google sitemap which I know helps greatly for ranking.

Can someone advise how to I find the source of all video pages in order to add these video tags?

Google explain how to do it here:

As the reply to your other post on the same subject said, we'll need to see a link to your site to answer this. There are no 'video pages' in a stock Zencart installation.

You have asked the same question in another thread. Please don't double-post.

Please understand that creating sitemaps has nothing to do with editing core files. (Besides, there is no HTML to edit.)

A Google sitemap is usually an XML file that sits in your website root directory. The video sitemap for google will follow the sitemap schema, as described at google.

If you have embedded video files in your product descriptions, you must determine the PATH to those products. Call up a product in your browser and look at the path in the browser address bar. It may look something like:

http://www.yourwebsite.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=170_172&products_id=1949

And let's say that the FOUR ACTUAL video files are called product1.swf
product2.swf
product3.swf
product4.swf
and are located at:

http://www.yourwebsite.com/videofiles/

So, in your xml for your video sitemap, you will have the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="gss.xsl"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
        xmlns:video="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-video/1.1">

</urlset>

You could save this file as sitemapvideo.xml and then put it on your server, then tell Google (webmaster tools) where to find it.
