Google SitemapAdmin

[sfklaas]

Just wondering if someone can lead me in the right direction. I've downloaded the google sitemap for zencart and I get this after I press send:

Google Sitemap Generation (v 1.3.19 20.04.2008 17:24) started

Save path - "/home/bendissk/public_html/"
Base URL - "http://www.bendisskin.com/"
File "robots.txt" not found in save path - "/home/my_id/public_html/robots.txt"

Not sure if this is a problem as I'm new to this...

Secondly, I checked my xml files (sitemapcategories.xml, sitemapezpages.xml, sitemapindex.xml, sitemapproducts.xml) and nothing was in those files... they were all blank. I assume these need to have the sitemap code. Is this because I don't have the robots.txt file like I listed above? Thanks for your help in advance!

If you use Googles Webmaster tools for tracking your sitemap within Google, it can create the robots.txt for you- Otherwise search back to earlier posts in this thread- there are a couple of robots.txt templates that you can use.

Hi all

Getting this message when I do Tools -> Google XML Sitemap...




Can anyone help?

I have all the admin files in the correct place

Then I have...
googlesitemap.php in root/admin/
gss/xsl in root/admin
sitemapcategories.xml in root/
sitemapezpages.xml in root/
sitemapindex.xml in root/
sitemapproducts.xml in root/

Is this correct?

Thanks

That's rather serious as it indicates that you are missing a ZenCart Core File (includes/functions/functions_lookups.php). I would check out your ZenCart install and make sure it completed okay.

In Google Webmaster tools, I get this error:

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: http://www.bendisskin.com/sitemapezpages.xml
Line Number 23, Column 65: <loc>http://www.bendisskin.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=0</loc>
----------------------------------------------------------------^

If its just this link, I can take that off the sitemap and i'm sure thats an easy fix. But I was curious why it gave me this error. Anyone have any ideas or saw this before? Should I just go ahead and delete this link from my sitemapezpage.xml?

Google Sitemap v 1.3.19 does not make so crazy sitemapezpages.xml file:

Ok... I just realized that there are 3 update files that came with the download. "Update_1_3_2.SQL, Update_1_3_3.SQL, Update_1_3_4.SQL." Should I go ahead and install them through the Install SQL Patches? Copy and paste rather than upload the entire files? Will that fix the problem you were referring to?

Also, I used ezpage links for the products so I could change the style of the links easier. Thats why the "product=id" links are listed in the ezpage urls. Is this causing the problem do you think?

Wow! I even could not imagine this! Interesting. Sorry for my comments

I think that is my bug.

Fix it in the old version is difficult and it makes no sense. Better to take the new version. Send me email and I resend you a new SitemapXml.

Sent you an e-mail through zencart... if I don't hear from you with a few days, I'll also send you a PM... Thanks for looking into that!

Hi

That file exists and the rest of zen cart is working perfectly, just not the google sitemap mod

Do you have any other ideas please?

Many thanks
