SitemapXML v.2

[shags38]

Hello Andrew,

I have two sites (ZC v1.3.9h) that I have upgraded SitemapXML to your latest version v 3.2.6 17.06.2012 16:13 however I am getting two different results in sitemaps in Google Webmaster Tools.

One site shows 650 urls submitted and 643 indexed which is fine (does not show any images indexed though) - the other PROBLEM site is showing 141 urls submitted and only 13 indexed but also shows about 120 or so images indexed and has 289 urls with 404 errors NOT FOUND - All these urls are for product (see 2 examples below). In admin/tools/sitemapxml Categories 8, EZ pages 3 and Mainpage 1 add up to 12 of the 13 urls indexed so it appears that products urls are not actually being added to the sitemap even though admin/tools/sitemapxml shows 130 listed in sitemapproducts.xml

http://www.harmonyballpendants.com/i...roducts_id=420
http://www.harmonyballpendants.com/i...roducts_id=288

This site had the previous version 3.2.5 before I upgraded AND I went to sitemap configuration in admin and changed use cPath urls from false to true (I don't know why I did that?) - it was after this that the indexed figures changed. When I upgraded to v3.2.6 I made sure that this configuration was left as default "false".

I do not know if changing that configuration has caused the problem??

Both upgrades were done carefully - file by file to ensure nothing was missed. I have added product to the problem site in case it needed some "trigger" to change the submission to Google. (every time I rebuild sitemaps then ping crawlers for the sitemapproducts.xml I get "products not changed since last time - using existing files" even though I have added more products - is that normal?)

I look forward to you assistance. Thank You.

Mike

p.s. why in the case of the first site mentioned would urls indexed not match urls submitted ?? is there a way to find out which urls were not indexed ??

ANDREW - ALL SEEMS TO HAVE CORRECTED ITSELF !!

Maybe I should have let the sitemap propagate a bit longer - sorry if I have caused you any problems.

cheers,
Mike

You need to add prefix in the sql patch file.

If you are using a custom template....then the folder called template default should be renamed to your custom template.

OK. Solved my problem. Install instructions did not mention renaming template_default directory to your_custom_template. I got the lead from check /store/cache. The bugs were recorded and pointed me to the custom directory.

Hello,
i've installed latest version available (v 3.2.6 17.06.2012 16:13) it works well except for the categories sitemap. This sitemap is created but empty even if there are categories in the store. How to fix this?

Tnx in advance

Do you have a custom template?

Also go to your store directory and check the Cache folder for log files. You might get some information on a problem.

Ok now it works.. there was no errors in cache folder.
I think it not populate categories sitemap if there is 1 category

thank you anyway pixelpadre :)

I think it not populate categories sitemap if there is 1 category

Wrong thinking. Even for a single category Sitemap categories should be formed. In this category there are active products?
Give a link to the site.
