SitemapXML v.2

Did you rename the admin folder to match the your folder admin folder name?

I uploaded the folder "sitemapXML" as an entire folder - doh! It's been properly uploaded now and works fine. Thanks! :)

Everything worked in the admin and then I went to Tools-Sitemap XML and saw this:

HEADING_TITLE

TEXT_SITEMAPXML_OVERVIEW_HEADTEXT_SITEMAPXML_OVERVIEW_TEXT TEXT_SITEMAPXML_INSTRUCTIONS_HEAD
TEXT_SITEMAPXML_INSTRUCTIONS_STEP1 TEXT_SITEMAPXML_INSTRUCTIONS_STEP2
TEXT_SITEMAPXML_LOGIN_HEAD
TEXT_SITEMAPXML_LOGIN

I double-checked everything, then set the xmls to 777, changed the ping urls as per the post higher up and still got this. I did not change anything else in Configuration-Sitemap XML.

I'm using 1.39g (based on the post higher up saying his is working on 1.39h). Any ideas, please?

Cheers,

Gift,
Take a look at post #96 and #97

Just want to be sure I understand how this addon works. By installing this addon will it generate the sitemap after it is installed and then I can submit it to the search engines?

The module was made for that exact purpose.

@countrycharm,
Yes, works well with sitemapproducts and and sitemapcategories but does not with sitemaptestimonials and sitemapezpages ...

I don't know why you are having trouble getting it to create a sitemaptestimonials and a sitemapezpages. It creates them just fine for me.

#97 says, "No language file." Can you elaborate? I triple-checked and the language files are in place in includes/languages/english. I then added them to /english/custom and get the same problem in Admin-Tools-Sitemap XML.

HEADING_TITLE

(Funny, I searched within the thread before my original post and did not see that.)

Gift,
You have to highlight and copy then paste the .sql file in admin panel/ tools/ Install Sql Patches

Apologies if there is already a documented solution but I have spent a couple of hours searching.

Problem: XML files not updating when requesting via Tools->Sitemap XML

Is there a way of getting this mod to work with 'Query Cache'? I am pretty certain this is what is preventing the XML files from updating as uninstalling it fixes the problem (as hinted in a previous post).

How does SitemapXML collect the data? One solution I thought was to re-introduce the files Query Cache replaces, rename and get Sitemap XML to exclusively use these. Is this an impossible option.

Our site is benefiting from the 'Query Cache' mod so we are reluctant to lose.

I look forward to many helpful replies :D

Hello
I'm using 1.38 with SitemapXML for a long time an I thought with no errors but I was wrong
In fact I've a problem and I don't know where is the origin of this problem
Google check many errors on my sitemap mostly redirection vs. SEO URL
I use CEON module and I don't really know what causing the problem

Instead of having the url with the SEO treatment, I have the url with the language at the end ?language=en

As this URL doesn't exist this generate Google errors

How to fix this?

Thanks

Go to admin/configurations/Sitemap XML and see if the
Generate language_id for default language is tick true if so tick it to false.

HI Guys... i've read through all 60 pages to find the sollution for my issue...
I.ve installed the module everything is fine, it generates the xml files it pings to all search engines(except yahoo gives me troubles somethimes).
However the links generated in categories are all opening the home page
i'm using 1.3.8.a
http://www.mysite.com/index.php?main_page=home&cPath=159_168

and i'm afraid goolgle will pickup lots of duplicate contents...please help

HI me again... with an update to this issue... It turns out that the actual zencart sitemap and the links there are also all (categories and products) loading the homepage... think that something is messed up with the setup of my product..
can you help me out by pointing what might be wrong...

HI again.. another update... hopefully someone can help me... I've figure out the issue with the categories. Meaning they are loading my homepage casue i really don't use categories, meaning i don't ahve setup anything in the categories or define them as a matter of fact i really don't use them. My sell page jsut load another page using the direct link form the product . So i think that the solution to my problem is to somehow disable sitemaxml and default zencart sitemap to actualy show any categories.
Can you guys please let me know how to do this... Thank you in advance

Thank you. Regards, Jean

Hi,
I have installed the Sitemap XML and it works perfectly.
Thanks!!
I have also set a cron job using cronless and I get the sitemaps updated regularly.
The only thing I do not know how to do is to auto submit the files to the search engines. I can submit them with no problem manually, but I would like to have a** automatic submission using a cron job**.
Can this be done? If yes, how?
Thanks

Hi, I tried searching for an answer to this but found nothing.

I'm just preparing to upgrade from Zen Cart v1.3.7 to the latest v1.3.9h, and I currently have Google Sitemap v1.3.13 installed.

Do I need to uninstall my current version of Google Sitemap before I upgrade Zen Cart and if so, how?

I am unable to successfully submit a sitemap to yahoo. After doing a search online I found they are discontinuing this service as of March 2011. If you are able to submit a sitemap to yahoo, what ping URL are you using?
