Run install-sitemapxml_only_for_zen-cart-1_5_0.sql' so i have gone to tools install sql patches and typed in 'install-sitemapxml_only_for_zen-cart-1_5_0.sql' and each time it comes up with failed, i am stuck, i have checked the permissions on the directory/sitemap are changed to 777, i uploaded all the files, i am used to using dreamweaver and am new to using zencart any ideas would be greatly appreciated

Go to admin -> Tools -> Install SQL Patches
Click Browse (Choose File) button, select file install-sitemapxml_only_for_zen-cart-1_5_0.sql on your computer, click Upload button to execute this sql-file.

I have installed the sitemap files as instructed. I only have one question.
I don't really understand how to execute the second half of instruction number 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)$">
Replace by
<FilesMatch ".*\.(js|JS|css|CSS|jpg|JPG|gif|GIF|png|PNG|swf|SWF|xsl|XSL)$">"
I know where the file includes/.htaccess is but I am not quite sure how to edit the file and replace then strings above. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
One other small question is I don't have
a "GOOGLE XML SITEMAP" option under my tools heading.

You really do not know how to edit the file? Then it is better not to do it. Delete file gss.xsl - it does not need Google and other search engines.

Hi,
I have installed this module and the sitemaps were generated.
I have three issues though,
1) I can not see the xml files clicking on them from the tools page
2) I can not make the various definitions to appear, I keep seeing thinks like TEXT_CONFIGURATION_TITLE_SITEMAPXML_DIR_WS despite I have controlled that the language files are in place.
3) I do not understand why google is not indexing my reviews. In webmaster tools I can see that my sitemapreviews has 162 contents but only two are indexed.
I have done an upgrade form previous version to version v 3.2.6 and I am using zen 1.5.1
Thanks for your help

Sorry!!
Forget about issue 1 I have now understande that I need to use the button view to view the file content.
Issue 2 in now limited to the configuration page ( I think the cache was driving me crazy about the tools page.)
In the config page, sme of the def are missing and I see things like TEXT_CONFIGURATION_TITLE_SITEMAPXML_DIR_WS instead of the definition.

With developers tool kit I get this result:

/includes/languages/english/sitemapxml.php

Line #88 : define('TEXT_CONFIGURATION_DESCRIPTION_SITEMAPXML_DIR_WS', 'Directory for sitemap files. If empty all sitemap xml files saved on shop root directory.');

/includes/languages/italian/sitemapxml.php

Line #88 : define('TEXT_CONFIGURATION_DESCRIPTION_SITEMAPXML_DIR_WS', 'Directory for sitemap files. If empty all sitemap xml files saved on shop root directory.');

/includes/languages/russian/sitemapxml.php

Line #88 : define('TEXT_CONFIGURATION_DESCRIPTION_SITEMAPXML_DIR_WS', 'Директория, в которой будут сохраняться файлы sitemap');

Therefore I think that the language files are in the correct position.
I put a copy of the english in the italian folder since I can read english and find easier to use the tools and menu in english.
Thanks agian for the help.

No, this is not a cache.

Now uninstall and install SitemapXML.

OK Done and it works, thanks.
What about this:
3) I do not understand why google is not indexing my reviews. In webmaster tools I can see that my sitemapreviews has 162 contents but only two are indexed.

Ask Google about this ;)
If the pages of reviews all right, it probably did not have time to index.
