SitemapXML v.2

trinorthlighting:

Why does the sitemap generator add an &language=en to the end of the urls?
Admin -> Configuration -> Sitemap XML -> 'Generate language_id for default language' - set to false

That's a pretty important setting. I hadn't realised that I was suddenly giving out the language setting in my sitemap files. Hopefully having that setting on for a few days won't have stuffed up my rankings too much.

G'day,

I'm a bit confused over how SitemapXML handles EZ-Pages and Defined Pages.

SitemapXML outputs three items into my sitemapezpages.xml file: privacy, site_map and the resolved link to gift certificates.

But how can I get the pages shipping_info, returns, conditions and contact_us into one of the sitemap files?

Chrees, Lloyd Borrett.

kevinmc3:

I am getting TWO different answers. Is it:
A. googlesitemap.php?inline=yes
or
B. sitemapindex.xml
This has been elucidated previously in this thread, search a few pages backwards.

   Where do you see here Defined Pages?
   Defined Pages are not supported and will not be maintained.

If you feel like you can your hands to create a sitemap for Defined Pages. But to index these pages silly - they do not contain any information that would help-sell. This information trash.

a_berezin:

Test this one:
file includes/classes/sitemapxml.php
find

$itemRecord .= ' <priority>' . max(number_format((($this->sitemapFileItemsMax-$this->sitemapFileItemsTotal)/$this->sitemapFileItemsMax), 2, '.', ''), 0.10) . '</priority>' . "\n";

> replace by
> ```
$itemRecord .= '  <priority>' . number_format(max((($this->sitemapFileItemsMax-$this->sitemapFileItemsTotal)/$this->sitemapFileItemsMax), 0.10), 2, '.', '') . '</priority>' . "\n";

It works!

Thank you

Andrew, there ARE people that still use the define pages,

just because YOU think they are trash dosnt mean other people do...

rather than being a pompous @$$ why not answer the question in a more polite fashion.......

Merlinpa1969, what is the problem? Rather than read the father make a module for Defined Pages.

Andrew all I was saying is that you were rude,
you could have said the same thing and been polite,

the other point I made is that JUST because you thing the define pages (
things like contact us, shipping policy, privacy policy etc.... ) are stupid dosnt mean that the rest of the people do.....

Merlinpa1969, you did not understood what I meant, did not understand the problem. What is not surprising.

Microsoft's moreover database is still working.
Shows OK in the ping report.
So, what do you think is best, leave it and add Bing, or replace entirely?

I replace it. But to others suggest adding bing.
I did not register in the control panel bing some sites. Why bing took some domain names as a disability - I was not able to understand. :(

Hi,

I get this error when running sitemapxml:

Products Sitemap
2008 MySQL client ran out of memory
in:
[select products_type from products where products_id = '72333']

This happens in a matter of seconds. What can correct this?

I'm thinking about installing this module on my site but I was wondering if someone could tell me if this version is compatible with ZenCart 1.3.7

Thanks!

Hi,

Now I get this error when running sitemapxml:

[select type_handler from product_types where type_id = '1']
2013 Lost connection to MySQL server during query
in:
[select count(*) as total from sessions where sesskey = 'd58bb1555f3d5e6e2a9b51093776a4c0']

Go to your cPanel > PHP Config and generate the single php.ini
in that file adjusted the variables for the buffer, input time, execution time, memory limit etc.. If you can not access it make a .ini file and put it in where ever zen cart is, your root. Insert this in that .ini file and it should take care of your problem.

max_execution_time = 300
max_input_time = 90
memory_limit = 100M

Hi Randy,

Yep- that's the issue. Thanks for the tip!

Only problem is my webhost wont allow these settings to be changed on a shared account :(

I guess I could always run the sites locally and generate the sitemap from my destop. Any recommendations for doing so?

Try adding it in your .htaccess then and see what happens.

php_value memory_limit 64M

Crashes the site until I remove it. Obviously the host feels strongly about this ;)

I installed Wamp Server and have gotten my site to run locally. However when I generate my sitemap the links look like this:

http://localhost/giggles/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=179_185&language=en

Any idea how to get them to show real URL's and seo friendly links?
