SitemapXML v4 [Support thread]

Thanks Dave - in the interim I can copy images into that large folder, so an easy fix :smile:
cheers,
Mike

FWIW, from the IH 5.1.9 readme:

If you are using IH⁵ on a site that also uses SitemapXML and have configured SitemapXML to Add Products Images, you'll need to edit one of the SitemapXML's files to allow those images to be properly reported. Editing /includes/modules/pages/sitemapxml/sitemapxml_products.php, you'll see this code-block towards the top of the file:

define('SITEMAPXML_PRODUCTS_IMAGES_SIZE', 'large');
define('SITEMAPXML_PRODUCTS_IMAGES_ADDITIONAL', 'false'); // true false
define('SITEMAPXML_PRODUCTS_IMAGES_FUNCTION', 'false'); // true false

 … and you'll make the highlighted change to instruct *SitemapXML* to use the built-in Zen Cart function to create the images' links:

define('SITEMAPXML_PRODUCTS_IMAGES_SIZE', 'large');
define('SITEMAPXML_PRODUCTS_IMAGES_ADDITIONAL', 'false'); // true false
define('SITEMAPXML_PRODUCTS_IMAGES_FUNCTION', '**true'); // true false

**I've not yet tried the SiteMapXML v4 to see if the same changes apply.

Hello Cindy - many thanks for your response - that change worked a treat!! - image url's are now correct.

thanks again,
Mike

Really no change in the code is needed. I do need to change the comment for better understanding. Changing from false to true makes no difference if IH is not installed. I'm wondering now why width and height is in the code when nether is used in the xml or ror feeds.

uploading shortly a new update for Site Map XML to version 4 for ZC1.5.7 if accepted, should show up on it's own. If you are interested in helping out, got some ideas or just want something to play with, GitHub location.

I still have some things I want to play with, but for now as is it's working as before on ZC1.5.7 and PHP7.4 with allot easier install. A number of files was changed or deleted, thus I would not suggest this as a easy update, but a new install.

Hi Dave. Is version 4 only available on github? I'm only seeing v2.1 in the plugin section.
Best regards.

I went ahead and downloaded from github for my zc157b. Worked like a treat! Thank you! :hug:

The github link is giving a 404. Anyone have the current github link?

I was gone some day, lost all internet code too.. lost left mind and writing my mind right works... I was working on ROR and maybe work both. I thought mod was v4 but I think it was by some was doing v2 too, not did.

I'll work next time..

Until such time as DaveWest gets the github back together, I've created a repository at https://github.com/dbltoe/Sitemap-XML-4

It is merely a copy of what I captured off github before it went 404.

this does not look promising. i hope @davewest is ok...

personally, i have always valued his contributions.

best.

Just the heads up for anyone trying to install this mod, the entire admin folder is missing on this repository.

:blush:
More than that actually.

The original included (and still does now) a totally empty sitemap.xml for the root. Dropping all files into github lost that file and a couple of folders when github balked at the empty file upload.

All are now in place.

I'm in the process of installing the mod, and noticed there's still nothing in the admin folder other than this file zen_cfg_read_only.php in admin/includes/functions/extra_functions. So of course the plugin won't install at all much less have a configuration page. So I'm wondering if an older version of this plugin would work on 1.5.7d.

Again, I have verified that all the files are there and correct.

The important one is the install_instructions.txt.

One of the files establishes admin pages, etc through the DB

You should see the installation in YOUR_ADMMIN >> Modules >> Plugin Manager

IMHO, all the "missing items" theories are caused by this module being created while Plugin Manager was in it's infancy and not fully understood.

It APPEARS that Dave might have been unfamiliar with the establishment of files using the Manager so he just set some of them in place for the Manager to "use."

One thing to check: In doing it as it is, you may need to ensure that the files and folders involved all have the proper permissions allowing proper use and update. 755 for folders is standard and 644 for files. One installation set the sitemap directory to 775 versus 755.

So sorry! I completely missed it! Somehow in comparing both versions I thought there were missing files. My bad! :blush:

It's been a year...

The mod is still not found in a Plug Ins Search, the original author passed on and davewest's status is unknown.

haredo and I have been able to get the last known files done by davewest to "work" with 158.

You can read what is going on at https://github.com/dbltoe/Sitemap-XML-4/issues/1

As neither of us are coders, any assistance, comments, and PRs are appreciated.

The link is broken.

I'm using XML Sitemap Generator v4.1.3 and since today, also EZpages for posts which I migrated from my WordPress blog.

Unfortunately they are not being included in sitemap/sitemapezpages.xml

Hijacking this thread, to note that there's a more recent update posted on a different support-thread: https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=367

thanks!
Not for zen-cart-pro.at yet.
I will inform webchills via github

The solution is to do 2 things:

1. set value for order >0
2. activate a location

I'm not using sideboxes and do not want to have EZ-Pages linked automatically so I chose "Sidebox" asl Location.
Now it works!
