SitemapXML v.2

[tirsys]

I followed the instructions, chmod 777 on sitemap* and patched the db but I get this:

[SCR]SiteMapXML (v 2.1.0 30.04.2009 10:35)
Categories Sitemap
Failed to open file "sitemapcategories.xml"!!!

Anyone has any idea how to fix it?

When the categories.xml file is created, extra urls are added which have cpath appened at the end. When I check to see what these URLs point to, it appears that it is simply pointing to the home page with 'new products' being different for each url listed.

How can I prevent this from happening as I have to manually remove these extra URLs from the file and resubmit my sitemap each time.

Thanks and sorry if this sounds a little confusing.

Hello everyone.

I have read every post in this thread and other threads on the subject. I believe I understand but would like to make absolutely sure as I am not very familiar with Zen Cart yet. I apologize if the questions may seem simple and any help will be greatly appreciated.

1. Adding this mod will not affect the built in Zen-Cart Sitemap?

2. The SitemapXML v.2 will be generated together (at the same time) with Zen-Cart's Sitemap?

3. Assuming the XML site generated by SitempaXML v.2 is not submitted to search engines will pages already indexed be indexed or crawled any differently?

4. Does the XML site generated by SitempaXML v.2 be indexed by search engines?

Google has indexed most of my pages. I have read of some uses of this mod experiencing a loss of indexed pages after submitting the Sitemap. On the other hand, Bing and Yahoo only have a few pages indexed and would like to submit a site map to them.

Any ideas, suggestion or comments would be great.

Thank you in advance.

Hello to everyone, I've got sitemap generator installed and running. I'm also running on my site 2 languages: italian & english. The urls of my products are mapped both in ita and eng. I'm running on my site the Ceon Uri Mapping that converts using mod_rewrite rules all my links products. For example for the same product "HANDBAG SHAPED USB PEN DRIVE" I have a specific link for each language:

eng uri: /funky-usb/borsetta-usb
ita uri: /funky-usb/handbag-usb-pen-drive

All works fine for me. But If I run the sitemap generator, for the urls generated on sitemapproduct.xml I get:

http://www.my.com/funky-usb/handbag-...e?&language=en
http://www.my.com/funky-usb/handbag-...e?&language=it

and not what I'd suppose to get:

www.my.com/funky-usb/handbag-usb-pen-drive
www.my.com/funky-usb/borsetta-usb

Anyone can help me? I going to get into the code...

Cheers!

Hello everyone.
1. Adding this mod will not affect the built in Zen-Cart Sitemap?

No. Completely different things.

2. The SitemapXML v.2 will be generated together (at the same time) with Zen-Cart's Sitemap?

No. Same answer.

3. Assuming the XML site generated by SitempaXML v.2 is not submitted to search engines will pages already indexed be indexed or crawled any differently?

No understand. If it's not submitted, how can it affect your site?
Anyway, your site will be indexed more efficiently over time.

4. Does the XML site generated by SitempaXML v.2 be indexed by search engines?
This mod generates xml files that spiders use to crawl your site more efficiently.

Why so serious?

Thank you ckosloff. I really appreciate your answer and time. Sorry if I sounded so serious just trying to make sure I do not make any mistakes and trying to understand how it works. Thanks!
