SitemapXML v.2

[Danijel_M]

I have read all the pages and it looks that only one have the strange problem:
Most of the pages are in the sitemap products (categories also) with priority value in range 1.0 - 0.1 but some of them are with strange priority values "0,1" while other with normal "0.1" (comma instead of point"

This makes Google to produce warnings in webmaster tools

feel free to look:
http://gps-centar.com/sitemapcategories.xml
or:
http://gps-centar.com/sitemapproducts.xml

any ideas?
version is:
v 2.1.0 30.04.2009 10:35

With best regards

G'day,

I've just successfully replaced the old GoogleSiteMapAdmin with SiteMapXML (v 2.1.0 30.04.2009 10:35).

Seems to be working, but have three issues so far:

1 - sitemapezpages.xml not being generated. Get the following in the run report.

Ezpages Sitemap
EZ-Page ignored (out of base url): "index.php?main_page=account" (http://www.scubadoctor.com.au/divesh...n_page=account)
EZ-Page ignored (out of base url): "index.php?main_page=privacy" (http://www.scubadoctor.com.au/divesh...n_page=privacy)
EZ-Page ignored (out of base url): "index.php?main_page=site_map" (http://www.scubadoctor.com.au/divesh..._page=site_map)
EZ-Page ignored (out of base url): "index.php?main_page=index&cPath=21" (http://www.scubadoctor.com.au/divesh...index&cPath=21)
File http://www.scubadoctor.com.au/divesh...mapezpages.xml. Written 0 items (0 bytes), Filesize: 0 bytes

2- sitemaptestimonials.xml not being generated. Get nothing about testimonials in the run report.

3 - Ping Yahoo! fails. Get the following in the run report.

http://search.yahooapis.com/SiteExplorerService/V1/ping?sitemap=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.scubadoctor.com.au%2Fdiveshop%2Fsitemapindex.xml 
cURL Error: Error http_code "403" reading "http://search.yahooapis.com/SiteExpl...temapindex.xml"

What have I done wrong?

Cheers, Lloyd Borrett.

G'day,

In part 3 above, I'm now not sure if the ping to Yahoo actually fails, or is incorrectly reported.

If I type http://search.yahooapis.com/SiteExpl...temapindex.xml into my browser, Yahoo returns,

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> 
[FONT=Courier New]-[/FONT] <Success xmlns="urn:yahoo:api">
 <Message>Update notification has successfully submitted.</Message> 
 
 </Success>
 
 
[FONT=Courier New]-[/FONT] <!-- ws03.ydn.gq1.yahoo.com compressed/chunked Sun Jun  7 21:21:23 PDT 2009 -->

So it seems the ping works. Maybe SiteMapXML simply isn't reading the reply from Yahoo properly and thus isn't properly reporting what has happened.

Cheers, Lloyd Borrett.

Test this one:
file includes/classes/sitemapxml.php
find

$itemRecord .= '  <priority>' . max(number_format((($this->sitemapFileItemsMax-$this->sitemapFileItemsTotal)/$this->sitemapFileItemsMax), 2, '.', ''), 0.10) . '</priority>' . "\n";

replace by

$itemRecord .= '  <priority>' . number_format(max((($this->sitemapFileItemsMax-$this->sitemapFileItemsTotal)/$this->sitemapFileItemsMax), 0.10), 2, '.', '') . '</priority>' . "\n";

I don't see testimonials on your site.

3 - Ping Yahoo! fails. Get the following in the run report.

Some errors detected, for ex. "limit exceeded".

5 seconds in google and at first position found this - Google webmaster tools > All the URLs in your Sitemap are marked as having dynamic content.

Right, and that link proposed an answer that I already knew. As I stated in my post I changed the frequency to weekly....but at the time (for at least 3 days straight after changing it) it had not fixed the problem. Now...I was gone all weekend and apparently it's working now.

But thanks for pointing me to an answer that I had already stated that I tried.

I'm currently receiving an 404 error when i try to update my site map. It was working in the past but not sure what is wrong. Im using ezpages v1.3.7.

I checked to see if the map updated and it did not. I'm sure the answer to my question is here and i am just not finding it. Any ideas? Thank you in advance

Just a thought as I do not really understand how this mod works, but I have renamed my admin file, would this cause any conflict with the working of the mod.

Easy fix. Disable AVG if that's your anti virus!
