SitemapXML v.2

[DivaVocals]

so basically us store owners who dont double as web designers are to blame. read you loud and clear!!!!

The fact of the matter is that store owners who decide to build their own websites are doubling indeed as web designers. Store owners who decide to become do it yourself site builders must be prepared to roll up their sleeves and learn all they need to know if they want to take on the role of building their own website. The alternative is to pay someone with web designer skills to do the work.. It's just that simple..

This support thread is 30 pages long because not everyone understands the instructions and may need additional help.. Doesn't mean the mod is hard to install at all..

I have noticed the following "Sitemap Index" problem, on a fresh install.

URL - (mysite)/sitemapindex.xml
Written 0 items (525 bytes), Filesize: 525 bytes

Total: Execution Time 0:1.2210, DB Queries 355, DB Queries Time 0.594.

Everything else updates, but you would think the main index page would update right?

I have Sitemap XML - v 3.0.3 27.08.2011 13:11
ZenCart - v1.3.9h

I have installed the latest module on my 1.5.0RC1 site. When I try to create/update, I keep getting "Page Not Found" error. How can I fix this problem? I have already checked all the files are uploaded correctly.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Well, I got tired of downloading sitemap programs that looped, online services that truncate at 500 URLs, and zencart modules that freak out on wrong version numbers.

SO. here's my final solution, make your own quick and easy.

STEP 1: Export your zen_to_products table to a file that you open in excel. You get two columns, first is product ID, 2nd is category: PhPAdmin select table, select export type, select your format, GO

STEP 2: Then put this excel statement in column D and propagate it over all rows:

=CONCATENATE("<url><loc>http://your site name here.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=",B1,"&amp;products_id=",A1,"</loc><lastmod>2011-11-10</lastmod><changefreq>weekly</changefreq><priority>0.5</priority></url>")


This will create a complete URL entry for every product in your store. be sure to replace "your site name here" with your site name. Change the date, priority, and frequency if you know what they do and they mean something to you

STEP 3 Copy that column

STEP 4 Paste into notepad

STEP 5 insert this header at the very top

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>

<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">

STEP 6 insert this footer at the very bottom


</urlset>

You now have a complete store site map.

Enjoy.
