SitemapXML v.2

coreyalderin:

For step 8 (Go to Admin -> Tools -> Google XML Sitemap), I dont see Google XML Sitemap on my admin. Did I do something wrong?
May be you have not execute a install-sitemapxml_only_for_zen-cart-1_5_0.sql?

Andrew, I think this might be a typo in the readme-sitemapxml.txt file - I think you meant:

8. Go to Admin -> Tools -> Sitemap XML (If error messages occur, change permissions on the XML files to 776).

The phrase "Google XML Sitemap" is left over from the old version for 1.3.8

Thanks! Fixded.

Thank you, Andrew! Another small suggestion for the README - perhaps add a small section about deleting OLD copies of this mod (circa 1.3.8 - such as version 2.1.0, which was around for a number of years). It would be as follows:

a) Delete the following files from your admin directory:
./includes/boxes/extra_boxes/googlesitemap_tools_dhtml.php
./includes/extra_datafiles/googlesitemap.php
./includes/languages/english/googlesitemap.php
./includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/googlesitemap.php
./includes/languages/italian/extra_definitions/googlesitemap.php
./includes/languages/italian/googlesitemap.php
./includes/languages/russian/googlesitemap.php
./includes/languages/russian/extra_definitions/googlesitemap.php
./googlesitemap.php

b) Run the following SQL in admin->tools->install SQL Patches:
SET @configuration_group_id=0;
SELECT (@configuration_group_id:=configuration_group_id) FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_title= 'Google XML Sitemap' LIMIT 1;
DELETE FROM configuration WHERE configuration_group_id = @configuration_group_id AND configuration_group_id != 0;
DELETE FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_id = @configuration_group_id AND configuration_group_id != 0;

Oops one more thing: Amend

5.2. If you are using Admin Profiles contribution you need to set the SitemapXML plugin Admin page permission. Go to Tools -> Admin Settings -> Permissions Button and put a checkmark at SitemapXML plugin.

with

... put a checkmark next to both Sitemap XML settings (one is labelled "sitemapxml" and one is labelled "Sitemap XML.")

hmm... that's misleading too, because you can't do both at the same time. Keep 5.2 as is and add

6.1 If you are using the Admin Profiles contribution, you need to set the Sitemap XML plugin Admin configuration permission. Go to Tools->Admin Settings->Permissions button and put a checkmark at "sitemap XML" plugin. (There are two checkboxes for Sitemap XML; the second is added after the installation done in step 6.)

Thanks. Add to ReadMe.

Hi, I'm using SitemapXML and CEON URI Mapping (both up-to-date / latest versons). Normaly when the sitemaps are created, SitemapXML uses the friendly url's created by the CEON addon.

Now I started to create ezpages (never used them before) and with SitempamXML there now is a sitemapezpages.xml with content. But in this xml file see that there are only the dynamic url's that Zen-Cart created and not the CEON url's. All other xml file do have the CEON url's.

The CEON url's for the ezpages work fine, just like all other url's and I have no error's in my cache. Any idea why the sitemapezpages do not contain the CEON uri mapping?

I have not tested the latest version CEON uri mapping.

Thanks Andrew. So I guess it's something between the two mods? CEON say something similar about SitemapXML ^^ Anyway, for me it's not urgent, Google indexes the pages and thats most important :D

After updating the mod, it shows

Error loading stylesheet: An unknown error has occurred (805303f4)http://www.domain.com/includes/templates/template_default/css/gss.xsl

what is wrong, and how to fix it? thanks a lot

I have no idea.
To create the URL, I use the standard Zen-Cart function zen_href_link().

CEON Uri created many problems for me and my clients. I do not use and do not try new versions, which will soon be more difficult than the control center in Houston.

That's right!

You'll be surprised - in readme written:

10. For Zen-Cart version 1.3.9f and earlier. Edit file includes/.htaccess:
    Find
    <FilesMatch "..(js|JS|css|CSS|jpg|JPG|gif|GIF|png|PNG|swf|SWF)$">
    Replace by
    <FilesMatch "..(js|JS|css|CSS|jpg|JPG|gif|GIF|png|PNG|swf|SWF|xsl|XSL)$">

You'll be surprised - in readme written:

It has been as that

<FilesMatch ".*.(js|JS|css|CSS|jpg|JPG|gif|GIF|png|PNG|swf|SWF|xsl|XSL)$">

but the gss.xsl does not work well, how could I fix it? currently it is version 1.5

I checked the cache, found several error, as following

PHP Warning: fopen(/public_html/sitemap/sitemapreviews.xml) [<a href='function.fopen'>function.fopen</a>]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /public_html/includes/classes/sitemapxml.php on line 731

how to fix it? thanks a lot

When I open the gss.xsl file with firefox, it shows

This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.

Could you help me out?

I figured it out, https:// does not work, it only works in http:// mode

Create directory /sitemap/ and

4. Set permissions on the directory /sitemap/ to 777.

I did not check on the work gss.xsl via https. I do not think that it is necessary to spend time. Do not know why you're viewing sitemap via protocol https.

Hope someone can help. Everything works hunky dory, but after signing up with Google webmaster Tools and submitting the main XML sitemap, I get an instant warning message saying all the URLS are basically blocked by robots.txt
As I haven't blocked a thing with robots.txt there's something odd going on, and I don't know if it's something I've done, or a glitch with the webmaster tools?!
