SitemapXML v.2

[a_berezin]

Hi Tim,

I guess there is mysql limits (connection time and memory) that I am reaching. I don't have access to change these. I'll think i'll stick with the products I have in the sitemap and save up for a vps.

I am afraid that these limitations would not run the store in full force.

Hi Tim,

I am afraid that these limitations would not run the store in full force.

I wanted to ask a newbie question.

I was following the instructions for install and now am stuck on this part. I am running 1.5.0, but do not know what 5.1 instructions mean.


Install:
========
0. BACK UP your database & store.
1. Unzip the SitemapXML package to your local hard drive, retaining the folder structure.
2. Rename the "YOUR_Admin" folder in the "sitemapXML" folder to match the name of your admin folder.
sitemapXML/YOUR_Admin/
3. Upload the files from "sitemapXML" to the root of your store. (DO NOT upload the "sitemapXML" folder, just the CONTENTS of this folder
(copy ALL of the add-on files to your store!! Most issues are caused by store owners who decide to NOT load ALL of the module files)
4. Set permissions on the directory /sitemap/ to 777.
5.1. IF your are running Zen-Cart 1.5.x. Run install-sitemapxml_only_for_zen-cart-1_5_0.sql (If you are running Zen Cart 1.3.9, SKIP THIS STEP!)
5.2. If you are using Admin Profiles contribution you need to set the SitemapXML plugin Admin page permission. Go to Tools -> Admin Settings -> Permissions Button and put a checkmark at SitemapXML plugin.


How do I "run" Run install-sitemapxml_only_for_zen-cart-1_5_0.sql?

I do not know what the 5.2 instructions are referring to either.

Thanks

How do I "run" Run install-sitemapxml_only_for_zen-cart-1_5_0.sql?

Goto Admin - Tools - Install SQL Patches
Copy and paste content of the install-sitemapxml_only_for_zen-cart-1_5_0.sql and click Send.

Hello,

So I did as you instructed. How do I know if I am "using Admin Profiles contribution"?

I am in my zc admin area, and under tools, I cannot find admin settings, as 5.2 instruction says...
I also cannot find sitemap XML under the tools section, as instruction 6 says.

I have already followed all the instructions from 1-5.1 as discussed above. What am I missing?

Thanks

5.2. If you are using Admin Profiles contribution you need to set the SitemapXML plugin Admin page permission. Go to Tools -> Admin Settings -> Permissions Button and put a checkmark at SitemapXML plugin.
6. Go to Admin -> Tools -> Sitemap XML and click "Install SitemapXML SQL".
7. Go to Admin -> Configuration -> Sitemap XML and setup all parameters.
8. Go to Admin -> Tools -> Google XML Sitemap (If error messages occur, change permissions on the XML files to 777).
9. To have this update and automatically notify Google, you will need to set up a Cron job via your host's control panel.
10. For Zen-Cart version 1.3.9f and earlier. Edit file includes/.htaccess:
Find
<FilesMatch ".*\.(js|JS|css|CSS|jpg|JPG|gif|GIF|png|PNG|swf|SWF)$">
Replace by
<FilesMatch ".*\.(js|JS|css|CSS|jpg|JPG|gif|GIF|png|PNG|swf|SWF|xsl|XSL)$">

How do I know if I am "using Admin Profiles contribution"?

Well, you know what you did, what modules are installed, the modules using. Or not?
If you install this module - then you use it. If you did not install - you do not use.

I also cannot find sitemap XML under the tools section, as instruction 6 says.

Do not know what to tell, never encountered such a problem. Maybe check out the user profile?

Hello,

So I reinstalled and now I have gotten to step 7. I am looking at this large list under "Sitemap XML" configuration, and do not know what any of these mean. How should I configure it?

Also under step 8, I cannot find Google XML Sitemap. The only new option I have is sitemapXML. Did I miss a file again to not have the "google XML sitemap" option?

Leave as is. Later, read the description of each item, if suddenly you might be interested.

Also under step 8, I cannot find Google XML Sitemap. The only new option I have is sitemapXML. Did I miss a file again to not have the "google XML sitemap" option?

This is a typo - instead of "Google XML Sitemap" read "sitemapXML".

Well I rechecked everything, however for:

http://www.mydomain.com/index.php?ma...xml&inline=yes

I get the error:
"
XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location: http://www.mydomain.com/index.php?ma...xml&inline=yes
Line Number 1, Column 1:
"

==Where could I be wrong ??
==================
Urls that work for me:

http://mydomain.com/index.php?main_page=sitemapxml
http://www.mydomain.com/sitemap.xml
========

I have now submitted the below to google webmasters:
http://www.mydomain.com/sitemap.xml

The above does work.

What is the inline thing and is it required as in the readme file.

Obv mydomain is replaced by our actual domain.

Any help please ?

This is a bug. It will be fixed in the next version.
