Google SitemapAdmin

What's the easiest way to modify the code to use sitemap.xml instead of sitemapindex.xml for the main index file in the root directory?

Andrew,

Does version 2.0 supports generation of reviews? Something like sitemapreviews.xml?

Thanks!

Version 2.0.
Generate xml-sitemaps for:
1. Products,
2. Categories,
3. Reviews,
4. EZ-pages
- multi-language support,
- 'nofollow' support,
- 'date_added'/'last_modified' support,
- check internal links ('alt_url') by "noindex" rule (main_page in ROBOTS_PAGES_TO_SKIP),
5. Testimonials,

If the products, categories, reviews have not changed since the last generation (time creation corresponding xml-sitemap file), a new xml-sitemap file not created (using existing xml-sitemap).

Priority is calculated on the basis of the positions in the selection from the database, ie the operator ORDER BY in the sql query. First item have priority=1.00, last=0.10. So can no longer be situations where all items in the file have the same priority.
Products - ORDER BY p.products_sort_order ASC, last_date DESC
Categories - ORDER BY c.sort_order ASC, last_date DESC
Reviews - ORDER BY r.reviews_rating ASC, last_date DESC
EZ-pages - ORDER BY p.sidebox_sort_order ASC, last_date DESC
Testimonials - ORDER BY last_date DESC

Support 3 $_GET parameters:
ping=yes - Pinging Google, Yahoo!, Ask.com and Microsoft.
inline=yes - output file sitemapindex.xml.
genxml=no - don't generate xml-files.

Using index.php wrapper - _http://domain.com/index.php?main_page=sitemapxml
Using languages file and etc.

Comments and suggestions are welcome.
If you need any more sitemaps (faq, news, etc) you may ask me, but I will do only if it matches with my interests.

Hi Isaacola,

You can try this.
Found

$this->sitemapindex = "sitemapindex.xml";

Replace by

$this->sitemapindex = "sitemap.xml";

But I have not tried it.
If not a secret, tell why you need it?

Thanks for the updates on the features in v2.0. It looks promising and looking forward to its release. Definitely excited about the fact that it supports reviews.

It did not work. I get this error:

Processing file: /sitemapindex.xml
Warning: fopen(/sitemapindex.xml) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /googlesitemap.php on line 270
Failed!
ERROR: Google Sitemap Index Generation FAILED!

It's not a secret, we have a program that looks for sitemap.xml link in our footer to perform certain actions and currently it reports no sitemap exist because it's looking for sitemap.xml instead of sitemapindex.xml.

It's not a big deal. I have reverted by to the original code in test. I was just thinking if it's something easy, it might be the route to go to take care of a minor change.

It work in new version.

.htaccess
redirect permanent /sitemap.xml http://<domain>/sitemapindex.xml

Hi
I would like to install Google SitemapAdmin but I'm running version 1.3.7 of Zencart. I've downloaded version
1.3.14 30.10.2007 10:32 of Google SitemapAdmin but just thought I'd better check to see if this is the best one to install. It's the last one in the list to mention version 1.3.7, but you never know.

Thanks in advance
RoPey
