SitemapXML v.2

GOTCHA!!!
Yahoo has new requirements for authentication.
You need to paste a metatag in the common htmlheader.php and/or upload to root an auth file that they create for you.
After that, everything fine.

@ckosloff - A link to a Yahoo page explaining more in detail to apply the fix you discovered, would be appreciated.

You are right, I was in a hurry, will post in a moment.
HOWEVER...the damn thing is back where it was.
Cron reported same error.
Anybody else having problems with Yahoo??

Go here and click on the site you wish to authenticate.
You need to create an account with Yahoo first.

And you paste the meta tag here:
includes/templates/CUSTOM/common/html_header.php

Can someone please tell me why my sitemap is empty?

After I hit generate sitemap under tools, this is what I get:

After I hit generate sitemap under tools, this is what I get:

Probably you don't have any reviews.
Also, why the gz extension?

[KarmaCharms]

What do the reviews have to do with it saying I don't have any products?

The gz I set up in the config, for compressing the files. Should I not?

Trying to help and still waiting for answers to my own problems.
You mean that sitemapproducts.xml is not being generated.
I would first check if all the files are loaded in correct locations.
Unless you have huge files, gz is not needed, but it shouldn't be the cause of your problems.

Wow! Typo in file includes/classes/sitemapxml.php
To fix it find:

      $pattern = '/^' . $this->filename . '.*(\.xml' . (SITEMAPXML_COMPRESS != 'true' ? '|\.xml\.gz' : '') . ')$/';

and replace by

      $pattern = '/^' . $this->filename . '.*(\.xml' . (SITEMAPXML_COMPRESS == 'true' ? '|\.xml\.gz' : '') . ')$/';

Thanks! That seemed to help.... but now I get this:

cURL Error: Error http_code "403" reading "http://search.yahooapis.com/SiteExplorerService/V1/ping?sitemap=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.karma-charms.com%2Fsitemapindex.xml"

Also why is it still saying

Products Sitemap

"sitemapproducts.xml" have not changed - using existing file(s)

even though I just added a new product..... and the products ARE showing in the list....
