SitemapXML v.2

Thanks haredo but i already changed the admin folder to the correct name and it didn't work.

Do you have any other suggestions???

Is this your first module you have downloaded within 139h?

yes any that i had to use the sql for.

i added some blank sideboxes and stuff.

Did you open the install.sql file and copy the coding, then in admin panel/ tools/ install sql patches click in the big box and paste then click send..

I sent you a PM (private message)

I uploaded the file and then run it.

It depends on how they write the sql...

Try the way I suggested... :smile:

What has happened is the module SEO, has messed up the core files to Zen Cart which is not allowing Googlesitemap to work..

v1.39h

Still not sure that i'm doing this right.

Google webmaster tools is still reporting lots of crawl errors (404).

This is my Robot.txt:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /images
Allow: /

Google says 4215 Not Found.

What am I doing wrong.

I've installed this module and it's working perfectly well. Thanks!

Just a question: Before installing it, I placed a sitemap.xml under my public_html and submitted it to google webmaster. It seems to have also been automatically included to the sitemapindex.xml. I'm not sure how this work. Do I need to remove it from public_html and google webmaster?

anyone??

no, you leave it there.

Serious:

no, you leave it there.

thanks!

I am sorry that I didn't have time to look through all the pages, and I did try to search in google and can't find specific answer from this thread, so I try to ask right here.

I just installed sitemapxml and try to generate the sitemaps, all worked great, then submit to google's webmaster tool.

It shows many products are 404 (Not found), and I realise that are the products I disabled, ie. product status is "out of stock". These out of stock products are not visible from the store. but somehow the sitemap has those links.

how do I disable them in sitemap?

Thanks.

example of "out of stock" item but still being included in sitemap:
http://top-choice.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8&products_id=52

How do I exclude items like this?

My apology. I realised that the generated sitemapxml already excluded the "out of stock" items. So the 404 ones I see at google webmaster tool, must be the products that they indexed prior I uploaded the sitemap.

This is what i use

Google => http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/ping?sitemap=%s; Yahoo! => http://search.yahooapis.com/SiteExplorerService/V1/updateNotification?appid=YahooDemo&url=%s; Ask.com => http://submissions.ask.com/ping?sitemap=%s; Microsoft => http://rpc.weblogs.com/pingSiteForm?u=%s;http://www.bing.com/webmaster/ping.aspx?siteMap=%s

Thanks, that worked great!

My sitemap appears to be generating:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <meta name="keywords" content="Plant Material, Plant Extracts, Live Plants, Seeds, Plant Oils, Plant Isolates, Salvia, Kratom, Capsules, Tinctures, , SiteMapXML" /> <meta name="description" content="Phytoextractum : SiteMapXML - Plant Material, Plant Extracts, Live Plants, Seeds, Plant Oils, Plant Isolates, Salvia, Kratom, Capsules, Tinctures, " /> 

When my home page is really this?:

<meta name="keywords" content="kratom, kratom extract, kratom isolates, entheogens, ethnobotanicals, resins, jurema, mimosa, salvia, extracts" />
<meta name="description" content="A long-time supplier of superior quality plant material, plant extracts, plus Kratom Isolates." />

How can the sitemap be changed or what am I doing on my end possibly?

Thanks!
