Google SitemapAdmin

Argh. After a second look I did miss your point and now see what you were stating.

I do not believe previous mod versions had this same issue.

I suspect standard sitemap protocol states you should place your sitemap files in your webroot. Thus this may be the reason why child directories are no longer included in the directory paths to the other three sitemap files within the sitemapindex file. This is confusing and worth investigating. Thanks for the heads up.

At any rate be sure to add the "Sitemap" entry in your robots.txt file
e.g.
Sitemap: http://www.your_domain.com/sitemapindex.xml

Gulp!

I have just updated to the latest version in the downloads section, and have encountered the following error when I try to open the Google XML Sitemap under the Tools Menu (in Admin):

Google Sitemap Generation (v 1.3.13 14.08.2007 10:32) started

Save path - "/xxxx/yyyy/public_html/store/"
Base URL - "http://hohose.exphoster.com/store/"

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: zen_get_info_page() in /xxxx/yyyy/public_html/store/admin/googlesitemap.php on line 279
(xxxx and yyyy used for security purposes)

I have previously been able to generate the relevant XML files without problems, and I have set the XML files' permissions to '777'

Can anyone please, please be so kind as to give me some guidance as to how to overcome this problem?

error with google and robots.txt file.... this is aggravating.

google states this:

"Network unreachable: robots.txt unreachable "

therefore, it won't index the site.

the problem is that it is listed and indexed correctly:

tampabayuniforms.com/robots.txt

it is clearly there to index the site.

the xml files are also there:

http://tampabayuniforms.com/sitemapindex.xml

and all the listings are congruent (no www. either in the files or the robot files or the listing.)

I give up.

any help is appreciated.

thanks!

When I create the sitemap I get messages telling me that four pages have been successfully created. However, when I try to view the sitemapezpages.xml, I get the following error:

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: (the URL location)
Line Number 8, Column 49: <loc>http://siteurl.com/page.html?chapter=1&id=1</loc>
I have figured out why I am getting this error. It is because the plugin is not writing the & characters in the URLs to & in the sitemap. Because I am using SEO urls for all other pages, this is only happening on the EZPages sitemap (since I haven't been able to figure out how to have these re-written by the SEO plugin... any leads on that?)

Anyone know how to fix this?

Zen-Cart 1.3.7.?
3 installs
2 went great on Linux servers
1 only 1/2 works on NT and wamp 5 1.7.2

The googlesitemap.php in the root dir works fine from the command line
http://www.stuff4toys.com/googlesitemap.php?ping=yes
works great.

From the admin I get:

Hey you are right. Must have been a bad ftp session or something to put the wrong files there. I re-uploaded and PERFECT! :clap:

Thanks for pointing that out.

Installed google sitemap locally with a fresh install of zen cart 1.3.7.
I also installed the latest version of Ultimate SEO URLs
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&products_id=231.

From what I can gather there have been compatibility issues with Chemo's Ultimate URLs and the sitemap generator in the past.

I am wondering however if there is a solution for the new Ultimate SEO and 1.3.7.

Can anyone help me out?

Basically I am getting this for all four of the xml files...
ERROR: Google Product Sitemap Generation FAILED!

All the configuration items are basically set to the default.

thanks in advance

Hi Folks!

It seems that the latest version is generating the sitemaps with an error in one. Google does not like the EZ pages xml page. I'm getting the following error.

The XML page cannot be displayed

Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later. A semi colon character was expected.

Any ideas? Thanks... :cry:

This issue was solved. It was a problem with the permissions of the xml files. On the local machine they were writable but when they were transferred to the server the permissions changed.

I am also having issues with this mod.

I have a fresh install of the latest ZenCart, and the xml files are located in catalog/*.xml.

Initially I received an error, so I changed all the permissions to CMOD 777, as suggested by Andrew in his installation instructions.

I am getting the following error:

Processing file: http://www.domain.com/subdir/sitemapezpages.xml
Warning: fopen(http://www.domain.com/subdir/sitemapezpages.xml%29: failed to open stream: HTTP wrapper does not support writeable connections. in /aaa/bbb/c/d/e/domainename/html/subdir/googlesitemap.php on line 203
Failed!
ERROR: Google Category Sitemap Generation FAILED!

This is the code in googlesitemap.php:

$filename .= '.xml';
echo 'Processing file: ' . $filename;
if ($fp = fopen($filename, 'w+')){    (line 203)
fwrite($fp, $data, strlen($data));
fclose($fp);
echo ' OK! Written ' . $records . ' records, ' . strlen($data) . ' bytes <br />';
return true;
} else {
echo ' Failed!<br />';
$file_check = file_exists($filename) ? 'true' : 'false';
return false;

This error comes up for all the *.xml files.

Any idea's?

Thanks,

Goshawk

Still sounds like a file permissions problem to me. I have found that some web hosts don't allow complete CHMOD changes. It may be that you need to go to your cPanel (if your web host has such a thing) and change the permissions from there!

Only one idea - wrong setting for GOOGLE_SITEMAP_XML_FS_DIRECTORY. You myst set FILE SYSTEM directory! Not 'http://www.domain.com/subdir/', '/aaa/bbb/c/d/e/domainename/html/subdir/'.

Thanks Andrew,

That was the problem, changed the filepath to:
/home/content//html/catalog/ and it is now working.

Hi Andrew,
I added your files to my site, https://www.tot2teenonline.com . I have a link in the admin now, but when I click the link to create sitemap, I get a blank screen. In addition, Google doesn't seem to be picking up anything but my Home Page which was added priorto your files. Any thoughts as to how to fix the 'create sitemap' issues?

:lamo:

Hey Guys,

I am trying to load in the mod to the 1.3.7 and while try to generate the XML files steps, it throws the following error :

Warning: main(includes/header.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\domains.com\wwwroot\store\googlesitemap.php on line 84

Warning: main(includes/header.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\domains.com\wwwroot\store\googlesitemap.php on line 84

Warning: main(includes/header.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in C:\domains.com\wwwroot\store\googlesitemap.php on line 84

Fatal error: main() [function.require]: Failed opening required 'includes/header.php' (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in C:\domains.com\wwwroot\store\googlesitemap.php on line 84

Any ideas?

I had the same issue and have fixed it. What I noticed was that when I opened the unzipped files there was a YOUR_ADMIN file which I uploaded to the appropriate location. That's when I got the errors. What I did not do was upload all the files that were not in that folder. Once I uploaded them to my public_html folder, all worked well. Good Luck!

I am getting the following error. Can any one help.

Warning: filesize() [function.filesize]: stat failed for sitemapezpages.xml in .\googlesitemap.php on line 218

Thanks

The googlesitemap.php file in your main directory causes this warning when run and if you run it in your store administration you will come up with a blank page. This is because the page was set up using older versions of PHP. Pretty soon PHP will not support this function at all. If you get this warning..hehe...which you will:lookaroun...here is what to do.

THE WARNING:

Warning: Call-time pass-by-reference has been deprecated - argument

passed by value; If you would like to pass it by reference, modify the

declaration of fsockopen(). If you would like to enable call-time

pass-by-reference, you can set allow_call_time_pass_reference to true

in your INI file. However, future versions may not support this any

longer. in /your server/htdocs or whatever/folder or folders your PHP file is

in//the PHP file on line whatever

TO FIX THIS:

The & creates a call by reference so maybe try removing these to pass

by value.

EXAMPLE USING googlesitemap.php on line 398:

WAS:

$fsoc = fsockopen($url["host"], $url["port"], &$errno, &$errstr, 30);

SHOULD BE:

$fsoc = fsockopen($url["host"], $url["port"], $errno, $errstr, 30);

When I ran it through admin it now opens the page perfectly with no errors in the server fastcgi log. Hope this helps others.:smartalec:

hehe... May be help, but why you talk about it in this thread?
Google SitemapAdmin does not use fsockopen.
