SitemapXML v.2

[djoel]

Hi,

recently I changed my shop to have 2 separate domains for 2 languages by copying my installation and uploading the copy to an addon domain directory. The sitemapXML has already been installed before that separation.

The problem is that the urls in the sitemap of my addon domain are the urls of my root domain. Eg. in my www.mydomain.com/sitemapezpages.xml. there are only www.myaddondomain.com Urls.

Has anybody an idea how to fix or am I supposed to reinstall the sitemapXML?

Of course I mean in my www.myaddondomain.com/sitemapezpages.xml. there are only www.mydomain.com Urls

AFAIK, you can only have 1 .htaccess

Sometimes multiple will get created when you make backups, but you should find the right/active one and delete the rest.

Wordpress shouldn't be doing anything to your .htaccess unless it's in the same directory.

Got a note back from host.

They pointed out some Wordpress text within the /public_html/.htaccess so I removed that text and left the script.

If we are only suppose to have one htaccess file, then any idea what all these others are, and if they are necessary..

Is having so many likely causing the problem ? Does Google get confused ?

Ok... I have deleted all the htaccess files except for the /public_html/.htaccess

Sitemaps are back to normal..

I had hoped that by fixing this that my items might start to show up within Google Products, but not ..... !

Any hooo.. Thank you

Is anyone getting their titles duplicated in google searches? It's just happening for the products so I can't tell if it is because of this mod or the 'google base' mod.

To clarify; for example if you search 'zen cart' and get this result -

Zen Cart(tm) Tutorials and FAQs
Where to find the Zen Cart switches and controls. How to set up categories and products, using the other features of Zen Cart. ...

I am not seeing this.. But..

Something very odd.. When I coppied a clickable link for a product title within my Zencart and then pasted it into Google to search, it would paste double.

No longer doing it now..

I've just tried to install this mod. SQL patch ran fine, no errors. I am seeing the link to Admin/Configuration/Sitemap XML, but I don't have a link to Admin/Tools/Google XML Sitemap as described in the readme.txt.

Has anyone else had this problem?

I'm running the latest version of Zen Cart (v1.3.8a/v1.3.8) and downloaded latest version of SitemapXML (2.1.0)

[first-eagle]

Has anyone added the manufacturers to the sitemap? If so would you be willing to share the addon? Thanks

This one has me stumped.
The remote server's sitemapcategories.xml does not have <lastmod></lastmod> tags.

LOCAL:
Mapped distribution files to local site folders; ran sql patch.
Changed product sort order in config.
Changed category changefreq to monthly.
Everything is fine.

REMOTE:
Mapped local site to remote server; ran remote sql patch.
Changed product sort order in config.
Changed category changefreq to monthly.
Everything LOOKED fine.

But, one report (1 out of 4) has a problem.
The remote server's sitemapcategories.xml does not have <lastmod></lastmod> tags.

The remote server's sitemapproducts.xml has <lastmod></lastmod> tags and data.
The local server's sitemapproducts.xml AND sitemapcategories.xml have <lastmod></lastmod> tags and data.

The local and remote categories tables are identical; confirmed by comparing sql dumps.

Why would the same programs produce, on the remote server, last modified date info for products, but not categories?
Why would the same categories tables have last modified data in local sitemapcategories.xml report but not on the remote report?

It isn't logical.
Could there be something buried in the code?
