SitemapXML v.2

Thank you for the code fix and the security token instruction. Both worked flawlessly.

Hi Isaacola,

Thank you for bag report! Quick fix:
File includes/classes/sitemapxml.php
found (line 469):

$loc = HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_IMAGES . $image['file'];

> replace by 
> ```php
$loc = HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . $image['file'];

It's very simple.
This is done to ensure that no one else could run the Sitemap generation.
Specify any value for this parameter, for example "IsaacolaMap".
After that when you start Sitemap add to the url the parameter token=IsaacolaMap. For ex.: site.com/sitemapxml.html?rebuild=yes&token=IsaacolaMap

When you run Sitemap from the administrator this parameter is automatically substituted. A job for cron will need to adjust the hands.

An error was more complicated. You must use version 3.2.6. I do not know when it becomes available for download. I can PM the link to download from my site.

Sitemap xml seems to create my sitemap fine, and i have submitted to google, but for some reason only my English pages get indexed by google, spanish and french get ignored.. I imagine that is not the fault of sitemapXML but would appreciate any hints you can give me!
Thanks

torvista:

Since the debug error was ONLY caused by the cron job using this:
my hosting suggested changing it to this, so it was run via a browser:
This works, no error!

I'm also having this same warning as torvista. I'm trying the browser method and will report back whether it works for me too.

FYI, these are my warning messages:

Hello Andrew,

I have two sites (ZC v1.3.9h) that I have upgraded SitemapXML to your latest version v 3.2.6 17.06.2012 16:13 however I am getting two different results in sitemaps in Google Webmaster Tools.

One site shows 650 urls submitted and 643 indexed which is fine (does not show any images indexed though) - the other PROBLEM site is showing 141 urls submitted and only 13 indexed but also shows about 120 or so images indexed and has 289 urls with 404 errors NOT FOUND - All these urls are for product (see 2 examples below). In admin/tools/sitemapxml Categories 8, EZ pages 3 and Mainpage 1 add up to 12 of the 13 urls indexed so it appears that products urls are not actually being added to the sitemap even though admin/tools/sitemapxml shows 130 listed in sitemapproducts.xml

http://www.harmonyballpendants.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=420
http://www.harmonyballpendants.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=8_30&products_id=288

This site had the previous version 3.2.5 before I upgraded AND I went to sitemap configuration in admin and changed use cPath urls from false to true (I don't know why I did that?) - it was after this that the indexed figures changed. When I upgraded to v3.2.6 I made sure that this configuration was left as default "false".

I do not know if changing that configuration has caused the problem??

Both upgrades were done carefully - file by file to ensure nothing was missed. I have added product to the problem site in case it needed some "trigger" to change the submission to Google. (every time I rebuild sitemaps then ping crawlers for the sitemapproducts.xml I get "products not changed since last time - using existing files" even though I have added more products - is that normal?)

I look forward to you assistance. Thank You.

Mike

p.s. why in the case of the first site mentioned would urls indexed not match urls submitted ?? is there a way to find out which urls were not indexed ??

ANDREW - ALL SEEMS TO HAVE CORRECTED ITSELF !!

Maybe I should have let the sitemap propagate a bit longer - sorry if I have caused you any problems.

I am a new user to zencart and have been doing ok with adding plugin, but the sitemapxml is giving me some trouble, i have gone throug all the configuration and went to tool to generate, but it is not generating the sitemaps. i have double checked file permissions, and still no luck, anyone else having issues

I am having the same trouble. All I generate are blank pages.

icikite:

I just installing SitemapXML on 1.5 Zencart and I have nothing in the tool can somebody help me.
Thanks for your time

You need to add prefix in the sql patch file.

If you are using a custom template....then the folder called template default should be renamed to your custom template.

OK. Solved my problem. Install instructions did not mention renaming template_default directory to your_custom_template. I got the lead from check /store/cache. The bugs were recorded and pointed me to the custom directory.

Hello,
i've installed latest version available (v 3.2.6 17.06.2012 16:13) it works well except for the categories sitemap. This sitemap is created but empty even if there are categories in the store. How to fix this?

Tnx in advance

Do you have a custom template?

Also go to your store directory and check the Cache folder for log files. You might get some information on a problem.

Ok now it works.. there was no errors in cache folder.
I think it not populate categories sitemap if there is 1 category :D

thank you anyway pixelpadre :)

sidvizioso:

Wrong thinking. Even for a single category Sitemap categories should be formed. In this category there are active products?
Give a link to the site.

Hi,

Getting selected EZ-Pages listed in sitemap/sitemapezpages.xml

When I go to Admin>Tools>Sitemap XML and do "Create / update your site map:", I find that only the EZ-pages with "header status enabled" become listed in sitemap/sitemapezpages.xml.

How do I get other selected EZ-Pages listed, without first enabling their header status?

Cheers

Hi,

A couple of issues,

First, I'd welcome any comment on my above mentioned issue re the following,
How can I get EZ-Pages listed in sitemap/sitemapezpages.xml without necessarily having their EZ-page headers enabled?

A second issue is using SitemapXML v.2 after doing Ceon URI Mapping 4.2.0,
When sitemap/sitemapezpages.xml is written the page URI's appear in dynamic, rather than static format.
(This happens just with EZ-pages only, and not with product or catalog URI's whose sitemapping remains in static format - as we'd expect with the URI Mapping.)

Any thoughts please?

Hi,

RedSpinnaker:

When I go to Admin>Tools>Sitemap XML and do "Create / update your site map:", I find that only the EZ-pages with "header status enabled" become listed in sitemap/sitemapezpages.xml.
In sitemapezpages.xml listed EZ-pages with header, footer or box status enabled.

1. SitemapXML v.2 is old, unsupported version.
2. I don't test SitemapXML with Ceon URI Mapping 4.2.0. Only with Ceon URI Mapping 4.0.8.

Sorry my mistake. I have SitemapXML v3.2.6 17.06.2012 installed.
Thanks for your reply though re Ceon URI Mapping 4.2.0. I'll be grateful should you ever look into this in future.
