Google SitemapAdmin

And..it went away. All is good.

shrug

What are people experiencing for wait times for Google to process these?

A dummy question:

Google sitemapAdmin has generated three XMLs: sitemapcategories.xml, sitemapindex.xml, sitemapproducts.xml. Do I need to upload all three xmls to google, or just load sitemapindex.xml?

Thanks.

Put all three.

First off, Great Add-on! :thumbsup:

I'm can't claim to be a PHP coder yet (.Net is my specialty) but I'm catching on to PHP and the Zen Cart way of things. I think a cool option would be to be able to select your choice of where the sitemap files are placed. Either inside your store directory or in the root of your domain. I have my store residing in https://www.mysite.com/catalog/ so the sitemap files are placed there. I would rather have them reside in the root of my site https://www.mysite.com.

This is just a suggestion - this mod works great as is. I may try to tackle this myself in the near future for some fun (or headaches... We'll see... ) Just thought that if the original dev was working on a new version I'd offer up this suggestion.

Got the contrib loaded and all seems to be working except I'm having trouble getting verified by Google. I chose verification by HTML file and get the following from Google:

We've detected that your 404 (file not found) error page returns a status of 200 (OK) in the header.

I do not have a custom 404 file and I'm not sure what to do from here. :blush:

Where can i get a copy of this module for use with v1.3.0.1 of zencart?

Your hosting company may have that set for you. For example GoDaddy hosting includes a html file named "missing.html" in your root folder that is used for 404 errors. They also let you configure how you want to handle 404's. (Default missing.html page, custom page you define, or your homepage "www.mydomain.com"). You host may have something configured like this that Google Sitemaps doesnt like.

Another thing to check is that you named the file exactly what Google wants. For example if you use .htm instead of .html it won't find it. Also if your host is case-sensitive make sure you have it in the correct upper or lower case.

Hope this helps!

I ended up making a custom 404 and that made Google happy. :thumbsup:

Yes. Google SitemapAdmin build sitemapindex.xml included all sitemap*.xml files in your shop directory.

yes I know
sitemapindex.xml, sitemapcategory.xml and sitemapproduct.xml
can I add more xml file like sitemaplink.xml or sitemapmanufactur.xml ???

You don't understand me. Once more:

The link http://zen-cart.spb.ru/zc-contribution/GoogleSitemapAdmin.zip is giving me a 404 error, and have been checking the site for the past couple of days and no luck. Is there a mirror or might anyone have a copy of the file locally.

What I'm looking for is the version compatible for Zen 1.3

I am also not able to Download from this link as the file is not longer there. Does anyone have a copy of this file they could upload?

Thanks.

I third that - the download site is dead with an unconfigured Zen installation...

Whoever has a copy of the code working on ZC 1.3 can you please upload it to the contributions section?

Thanks.

I really would like the google sitemap admin to be available. Maybe it has some flaws in it or something that was complained about.

Look at the thread I started in this section called 'Contribution Key.' Andrews site has possibly gone down for a bit so I'm hosting these mods in the meantime. I'll be putting them in the downloads section soon.
