I have v 1.3.19 Google Sitemap installed and working fine on ZC 1.3.7. I also have SEO Urls installed but the sitemap is generating dynamic URLs in the sitemap.

I have both mods installed on another zencart and the sitemap generated is made up of seo urls, but i cant remeber what i did to make this work.

Any ideas ?

Hi, recently i have installed Ultimate SEO module and i meet same problem. I found when I install Ultimate SEO module if I directly replace zen cart original includes/functions/html_output.php than my google sitemap can generating Seo urls. If i use includes/functions/MY_TEMPLATE/html_output.php to override the original html_output.php file, than Google Sitemap generating dynamic URLs. Hope this help you.

We have a clean/new install of 1.3.8 with Google Sitemap installed and we are getting an error when we try to "login" or create a customer

Warning: Unknown: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/fragranc/public_html/index.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/mommy:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in Unknown on line 0

Warning: Unknown: failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in Unknown on line 0

Fatal error: Unknown: Failed opening required '/home/fragranc/public_html/index.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in Unknown on line 0

Help please.

Oh... the site itself is: https://www.fragrancefreehome.com

OK - going to close this one myself... I did a bit more digging and even though the errors weren't the same, I changed 2 things in my config based on what I saw... Turns out it isn't the Google Site Map...

I think the cache was set up wrong (or the SSL) as the cart is now working.

Thanks.

Hi There

hope someone out there can help with this!

I have just finished installing the mod for googlesitemap 1.3.8, i followed all the instructions in the readme file, and triple checked that all files were placed in the correct folders on my site, when i tried to create my sitemap i'm getting the following errors, of which i have absolutely no idea what they mean.

/home/darbleyf/public_html/sitemapproducts.xml.gz: failed to open stream: Permission denied

I eventually figured it out, i have read and re-read the numerous posts on this topic and found that there are tons more who have this problem, the concensus among the users who've offered help to us with the sitemap problem always advocate that you copy and paste the sql file in admin/sql patches. This is what i had done and everybody else too i suspect, but it never worked out right.

What i did to get it working was to UPLOAD the sql file instead, generated my sitemap and hey presto it worked, all 3 sitemap_xml were created including all urls.. SO anyone who just can't get the google sitemap to work using all recommended methods, PLEASE, PLEASE UPLOAD THE FILE THROUGH ADMIN AND TRY AGAIN, IT WILL WORK.....

Thanks all for your help anyway..

I'm not sure if this is the correct place for this post... but here goes -

Has anyone ever thought of creating a sitemap to the posts in the testimonials manager? I'm going to create a custom XML file for this as several my sites have really great testimonials that I would like indexed.

I'm also going to look at the code creating the EZ-Pages and see if I can come up with something to create this automatically for submission.

I have successfully installed Sitemap, Configured it, and Ran it to create the expected 3 files.

However, the URL's are all wrong.

I am on shared hosting with BlueHost. My store domain is an add-on, so it lives below the main domain. The sitemaps use the Main Domain as the Base URL.

How do I get Sitemap to use my store URL's?

Main Domain = sell-a-ton.com
Store Domain = bobbibopstuff.com
Store catalog = bobbibopstuff.com/
Store directories = home/sell-a-ton/public_html/bobbibopstuff/

Sitemap uses these URL's
Save path - "/home/sellaton/public_html/bobbibopstuff/"
Base URL - "http://sell-a-ton.com//"

What would I need to do to either mod the Sitemap files or databases to use or generate the correct URL, or to my hosting configurations?

Thanks

You talk about EZ-pages sitemap?

If I'm not mistaken, permission denied problem due to CHMOD setting.

U need to change frm 644 to 666 for each 3 files (AND temporary set the public_html frm 755 to 777).

For robots.txt, just create the file by using notepad (blank file should be ok, for the time being).

emtecmedia:

I had the same issue, quick fix:

edit: googlesitemap.php on line 225

change: $this->base_url = HTTP_SERVER . '/';
to: $this->base_url = HTTP_SERVER . '/mystore/';

worked for me.

hey! TQVM, mine also solved for the problem not find robots.txt

by the way, there is a simple way to resolve the warnings you get from google in regards to all pages having the same priority, just open the xml files and change 1 or 2 pages priority to a number between 0.0 & 1.0 before you upload them to google, then proceed to ping the search engines, you should not have any warnings then

hope this helps

Hello people,

I asked a question by opening a new thread but I haven't got any replies so I guess this is a better place to as kmy question again. I create an xml sitemap from google xml sitemap module but when I check the urls in the sitemap I find out that most of them go to a page that says "Sorry, the items was not found." and none of them actualy goes to a webpage with any products. Is this correct or am I doing somethign wrong?

Thanks in advance,

Yiannis.

Why does it not display my product review? This is the link that simple seo urls module creates for a specific product review

http://bionaturaldrops.com/product_reviews_info/%s/reviews_id/7

this is the url for the product reviews

http://bionaturaldrops.com/reviews

The second works but the first doesn't work.

Do you have any siggestions?

Create a robots.txt and put it in your store directory.

See this thread for more info.

I found and solved the problem.

I had set up the store on my new host prior to moving the domain. In my configure.php files, I had absolute paths for the store without my actual domain.

After moving, I forgot to modify both of the configure.php files to include my actual domain instead of relative folders.

Once I fixed them, Sitemap ran just fine and output the correct information.

Thanks
