SitemapXML v.2

[ckosloff]

Hi, there
I would like to know why the link of ask.com inside 'tools->sitemap xml' is unaccessible...

Don't know why it is inaccessible.
I created an account with Ask so it should give me access to the https.
The http:// link redirects to main page.
However, submissions work OK.

@berezin
cURL Error: " malformed" reading ""
Please note the extra double-quotes.
There must be a typo somewhere.
Submissions work OK, but I get that error at the end of the report.
Maybe that explains some Yahoo complaints?
Thanks.

Hi ckosloff

Thanks for your reply.

Right, submissions work OK and without that 's' behind http, the site could be accessible, too.

It looks like an account is not require to submit to ASK, right? All other 3 big SEs have asked me to create an account with them to authenticate my site.

All the best,

Ask does not require an account, it is not a requisite for submission.
In fact their account has not much to do with site development, or at all.
I find that the inner workings of their site are awkward, cannot find a webmaster area, etc.

Admin -> Configuration -> Sitemap XML -> 'Generate language_id for default language' - set to false

Hello Andrew,

Thank you for the mod.....

I have found a problem with this fix ..... changing this setting to false only corrects the products xml file.... the categories and reviews xml files still have the language=en in the url

After I install sitmapxml

When I click step 1 to generate sitemap, it show screen like this



Then I check the xml file, nothing at file like this:




Why ? Can anyone help sort it out ? Thanks

I was having the same problem.

The right way to do this is to post the solution you found, so the other guy with similar problem can benefit.

Sorry.

What I found is that you just have to follow the directions to the T.

Where it says to add files to template_default, I was putting them file in my custom template file.

That was the solution to my problem.

Hope this helps somebody. Again, sorry for not posting what I was doing wrong.

If you have already created your Sitemap files and then change to 'false', you need to delete all your current Sitemap files and recreate them in order for the "language=" statement to be removed.

Does SitemapXML do something different than the non-zencart specific sitemap-generators at code.google.com/p/sitemap-generators/wiki/SitemapGenerators ?

Thanks!

I don't think this can have any impact in the working of this mod.
The mod loads the file in template_default so you can customize it and put it in your custom template.
That is the way Zen Cart's templating system works.

Just makes your life easier by automating the process.
