Copy files
includes\languages\english*.* to includes\languages\YOUR_language*.*
YOUR_Admin\includes\languages\english*.* to YOUR_Admin\includes\languages\YOUR_language*.*
and translate it.

Hello,

I won't access The plugin in french from the admin interface, do i still need to translate YOUR_Admin\includes\languages\english*.* to YOUR_Admin\includes\languages\YOUR_language*.*

And in the original plugin contribution, there's English and Russian but the /includes/languages/english/sitemapxml.php doesn't differ from the /includes/languages/russian/sitemapxml.php

If the translation in French is not needed, do not translate.

So what?

Thank you! The change to the .htaccess file worked for me as well. I am using 1.3.9.h, and the original .htaccess file for 1.3.9.h does incude the xsl and XSL; however, my .htaccess file must have been overwritten at some point, because I needed to add it back in again to get past the style sheet error.

What version of zen cart are you using?

Hi,
I have used this plugin for a lot fo time and it works perfectly.
I wonder if now it shuold be updated for the rich sniippets.
It seems to me that there is a conflict between thw data google collects on his own about rich sippets and the data google find in the sitempaproduct file.
I may be worng but after updating the sitemap product the rich snippets data disappaered.

I think I missed something. Can you tell me more about how the Sitemap XML correlated with Rich Snippets?
I always thought that the Sitemap XML has no semantic information - it's just a list of URL.

I have SitemapXML running fine, but can not get the cron job to work. I am running Zen 1.3.8a, and the latest ver of SitemapXML.

I tried to do some testing. When I disable the security token, and enter "http://www.fantasycostume.com/cgi-bin/sitemapxml.php" into my browser, it works fine. But when I change it to "http://www.fantasycostume.com/cgi-bin/sitemapxml.php rebuild=yes" I get a 404 error. I am on a Linux server running Apache. Of course, adding ping=yes, and/or token=xxxx doesn't help any.

I just upgrade from v2.1 to 3.2.6 on Zen Cart v1.3.9h.
I see that it no longer has a two-step method, but how do you see if Google, Bing, etc. received the update?

My sitemap.xml size = 0, as is the original sitemap.xml copied from the zip install file. Is that normal?

I have my robot.txt directing sitemap to sitemapindex.xml. Is that still true?

Sure, it's wrong. Why such format for http url??? Use this

http://www.fantasycostume.com/cgi-bin/sitemapxml.php?rebuild=yes

What is "two-step method"?

katrobb:

Personally, I see the results of processing sitemap to GWT.
Some users Ping search engines.

Yes, if You don't use it.

Yes, if You use sitemapindex.xml.

http://www.fantasycostume.com/cgi-bin/sitemapxml.php?rebuild=yes

I used that format because that is what the documentation said to use on the sitemap.php file.  So that URL works fine in the browser, but I still can't get my cron job to work.

The documentation says to use:

 "0 5 * * * php -f <path to shop>/cgi-bin/sitemapxml.php rebuild=yes ping=yes" 

I had the command line like this before and it failed too:

/web/cgi-bin/php5 "/home/content/l/a/d/ladyfool/html/cgi-bin/sitemapxml.php rebuild=yes token=xxxxxx"

Since I am on godaddy, they have kind of a wizard that sets the time to run, so I assume that the 0 5 * * * is unnecessary for me, my currernt command line is:

/web/cgi-bin/php5 "/home/content/l/a/d/ladyfool/html/cgi-bin/sitemapxml.php?rebuild=yes&token=xxxxxx"

Godaddy is acting like creating a command line is top secret information, and won't give me any input.  Can you tell me what is wrong?

It is better to ask Godaddy.

a_berezin:

It's actually better to LEAVE GoDaddy

schoolboy:

It's actually better to LEAVE GoDaddy

That is probably true, especially since they are not being any more help than a_berezin is at this point.

I am experiencing the typical finger pointing crap that you get when you try to operate one system on another person's system. GoDaddy is now telling me that the script is failing.

I wish someone would at least attempt to provide a functional solution rather than just place blame. Solutions are so much more peaceful, and pleasant.

BTW - I have no reason to believe that leaving Godaddy would solve anything at this point because the cron job doesn't work, and therefore, it probably won't work anywhere else.

Hi Andrew and others,
Great addon.

Looks like it's the limitations of your hosting.
Sitemap XML - a heavy script, a lot of requests to the database. If you use SEO URL, the number of requests has grown significantly.
If you use images urls generation in the sitemap and you have installed IH, then the server load increases significantly.
