Google SitemapAdmin

Look at the thread I started in this section called 'Contribution Key.' Andrews site has possibly gone down for a bit so I'm hosting these mods in the meantime. I'll be putting them in the downloads section soon.

Thank you. I can't wait until you host this. The other site is down and has been for several weeks. If someone has a copy of Google Sitemap Admin, I would be glad to host it myself.

I'll host it too if someone can let me know they have it.

Ok, since you didn't read or understand my post, go here and click on the download link for this mod.

Voltage,

The issue is not that you haven't listed the file. The issue is the listed file does not download. The link provided is broken or the person who was hosting this file is no longer hosting it.

I appeciate your contribution key. It makes looking for files helpful. The Google Sitemap link needs to be updated.

Thank you for updating the link. I was expecting the initial link to be modified and that was what I continued to click on. I did not realize you had updated the link via "reply".

Right! I get what was going on . Unfortunately, I don't have the ability to modify my previous post. Glad I can help.

I got everything works for this Google Sitemap. My question is what are the value of Priority as listed in the sitemapcategories.xml and sitemapproducts.xml? Some link has value of 1.0, 0.1, 0.5 as below. Can we change these priority?

Hi - I'm having trouble crossing the finish line with this module. I believe that I've properly followed the steps and indeed Google XML SiteMap has been added to both my Admin/Configuration & Admin/Tools. Admin/Configuration seems to be operating as it should. However, when I click on Tools/Google XML Sitemap I get a HTTP 404 - File not found.
As I understand it, this may be corrected by changing my permissions to 777. I've attempted to do this, but as soon as I make the change from 666 to 777 it reverts back to 666.

Also, I read in one of these threads about uploading the XML files to Google. Am I supposed to upload directly to Google? I was under the impression that we were to just upload all files to the store directory, putting the individual files in the appropriate folders (either Admin or Include) and leaving the loose files, such as the XML files, loose.

(Boy does that sound convoluted. I hope it makes sense to someone)

Thanks for any help you can offer.

You will need to create your account with google and register your sitemaps. You can do this by following this link. https://www.google.com/accounts/Serv...Fhl%3Den&hl=en

You will need to set your information up on the google side. Google will need to know what your website is and what type of files you are submitting. You will also need to verify your website with google. They will have you place an html file in your root directory. Google will search for this file. Once it finds it, you will be verified.

Once you have the google portion of your website setup, it is as simple as just creating the file and telling google that they are ready. (Google Sitemap Admin) will do this for you if properly configed.

Thanks for responding - OK - I've created an account with Google Sitemaps and my /shop is verified.
Creating the file and telling Google to go and get it seems to be the hitch. As I mentioned, Google XML Sitemap in the Admin/Configuration seems to be operating as it should. However, when I click on Tools/Google XML Sitemap I get a HTTP 404 - File not found.

I seem to have mucked something up at this point - Any suggestions?

Thanks again
