SitemapXML v.2

Hi,

I have installed latest version (1.50) of sitemapxml and when I attempt to create sitemapindex.xml, I end up getting error.
Am able to generate all other xml files except for Sitemapindex.xml.

Kindly advise.

Hi! I have couple of problems with the mod on v1.5.

1. It creates all sitemaps (for categories, news etc), but includes only 2 or 3 of them into sitemapindex (mainpage and products usually). Is there a way to include all created sitemaps into the sitemapindex file?
2. When it creates products and categories files, links starts with /category without preceding http://domain.com that causes google to consider them as wrong links. Is it possible to fix this?
   I'm running CEON URI mapping if this matters.
   Thanks.

Just want to say thank you, Andrew.

It worked perfectly. :clap:

sitemapxml: 2.1.0
Zencart: v1.3.9h

Hello Andrew,

Just want your advice whether I should go ahead and install the current version or wait for the new one that you will be releasing?

Best Regards

Pretty sure the answer is no as I haven't been able to find any other reference to this on the forum.

but I'll ask anyway,

is it possible to exclude certain categories from being included in the sitemap?

(other than disabling the category)

No one replied to my problems, so I had to solve them myself :-)

1. Reason why not all sitemap files were included into the index is same as with images (described in other topic). Script was stumbling at my '0' folder.
   So it is necessary to edit approximately line 255 in /includes/classes/sitemapxml.php
   while ($filename = $za_dir->read()) {
   replace with
   while (($filename = $za_dir->read()) !== false) {
   This will handle directory reading correctly.

2. Missing domain part is restored with adding following line to the same file around line 210:
   if (substr($loc,0,4)!="http") $loc = 'http://rafcamera.com' . $loc;
   Not sure if CEON caused this problem, but such simple solution works fine for me.

Hi Berezin,

I just realized that sitemaps are only being gerenared for one language. I just updated to 3.1.0 14.12.2011, running on 1.3.h, but still, only sitemaps for /en, which is not the primary language are created. Any suggestions? Thanks again.

site is https://www.dstoreusa.com.br

I have installed your soft: "sitemapxml__formerly_google_sitemap_3-1-014-12-20111332"
on an 1.39H zencart in french. It works great.
I have changed the directories includes/languages/english to /french but in the configuration admin/configuration/sitemap XML the 4 sentences beginning with TEXT_CONFIGURATION are not translated and stay like that. I tried to find this terms in the translated files (directory /french/) like I do usually when this occurs with other add ons.
Can you explain me what to do?
With many thanks

Hi Andrew,
I did the installation as per your instructions. When I attempt to create sitemapindex.xml, I get the following error. Kindly help as I am very badly struck

This page contains the following errors:

error on line 1 at column 2: StartTag: invalid element name
Below is a rendering of the page up to the first error.

Originally thought of creating sitemap externally and then moving it to server. Later saw that the plug in what you have can do much better job. An early help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

same for me

Hi Andrew, I have bunch of testiminials but the sitemap file sitemaptestimonials.xml is always blank no matter how many times I generate.

Do you know what have I been missing?

I am running zen cart 1.3.9h and wonder which version should be using.
Would the latest version cover it? Or is there a version specific to 1.3.9h?
Thanks for your help.

The version that worked for me is SitemapXML (formerly "Google Sitemap") - Version: 2.1.0
Which does have a sql file and worked great for me. Hope this helps.

   I tested it on tseon - everything works fine, the domain in the address does not missing.

1. Copy YOUR_Admin\includes\languages\english\sitemapxml.php to YOUR_Admin\includes\languages\french\sitemapxml.php, YOUR_Admin\includes\languages\english\extra_definitions\sitemapxml.php to YOUR_Admin\includes\languages\french\extra_definitions\sitemapxml.php
2. Copy includes\languages\english\sitemapxml.php to includes\languages\french\sitemapxml.php
3. Translate YOUR_Admin\includes\languages\french\sitemapxml.php, YOUR_Admin\includes\languages\french\extra_definitions\sitemapxml.php and includes\languages\french\sitemapxml.php
4. Install sitemapxml.
