SitemapXML v.2

[lloyd_borrett]

Sorry, I did not understand this remark. This is an old well-known information. In sitemapXML these systems not ping a long time.

I was responding to an earlier post where the person was asking why those pings weren't working. I should have quoted parts of it.
But Sitemap XML still makes references to Ask on its Tools page.
Many thanks for the great plugin Andrew.

Hello Andrew,

I receive the following error when I ping - is there something I need to do?

XML Parsing Error: junk after document element
Location: http://www.mothersdayaustralia.net.a...=yes&ping=yes&
Line Number 16, Column 16:</sitemapindex><h3>Ping</h3><h4>Ping Google</h4>http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/ping?sitemap=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mothersdayaustralia.net.au%2Fsitemapindex.xml<br /><div style="background-color: #FFFFCC); border: 1px solid #000000; padding: 5px">Sitemap Notification Received<br />

thank you,
Mike

G'day,

It seems that Sitemap XML generates entries for categories and manufactures that have no active products and 1 active product.

The problem is that the URL put into the sitemap is never shown by Zen Cart. If there is only 1 product, Zen Cart redirects to the product info page for the product.

My thinking is that it's not good SEO to have URL entries being put into sitemaps that will generate redirects. It might be better if the URLs are only put into the sitemap if there are two or more products and the URL will be displayed. Alternatively, Zen Cart should still show the category listing or manufacturer list pages even if there is zero or one product.

Best regards, Lloyd Borrett.

Anybody put this on a ZC154 yet?

Also, when I searched to find this mod, I noticed another mod for adding EZpages to sitemap:
https://www.zen-cart.com/search.php?searchid=3475836

I thought EZpages automatically showed up! Do I need that additional mod to get my EZ stuff to list?

Thanks!

I'm using the plugin successfully under ZC1.5.4. No need for the additional plugin, the current version of sitemapxml (v 3.2.12 19.09.2013 8:06:18) includes an ezpage sitemap.

Most excellent, thanks!

It works fine in 1.5.4, and it also includes ez-pages. I think the mod you mentioned was for older/other versions of this mod
