how to edit the site map

Can anyone please advise on how to remove page links etc in the site map, thanks Rod

What sort of links are you referring to?
What version of Zen Cart are you using?
What's your URL?

Thanks for your reply Doc., I am using ver 1.3.0.1 , I want to remove pages 2,3,and 4 specials and reviews.
I am on second install of Zen Cart, this time using the override setup. Learning about things very slowly, but progressing at least,Thanks, Rod

Oh, and https://www.earlcraftncake.com/cart

You can turn off pages 2, 3 and 4 in:

admin -> configuration -> define page status and setting them to 3

The specials and review I'm not sure about.

To turn off the Page 2, 3, 4, Go to Admin->Configuration->Define Page Status, and set the switches for those to '3' (ya, I know, 0 might be more intuitive....)

To remove the Reviews link, you'll have to manually edit the template:
includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/templates/tpl_site_map_default.php
around line 46, remove this line:```html
<li><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_REVIEWS) . '">' . PAGE_REVIEWS . '</a>'; ?></li>

Thanks Guys, what a great support team, Rod

I'm trying to add pages to the site map and have editied that page (tpl_sitemap_default.php) both creating the direct links as privacy and contacts are done (no joy) Then went back as I have all my added pages configured to be turned on or off in the admin - so I re-did the site map using that format for my links... still nothing... I have my file in the over ride and have even tried adding my links to the english define for site map.... I still can't get the links on - I have 1.3.1. Is there any other file that is controlling this?

A follow up note - Our Privacy and Conditions Doc is combined so I'm also trying to remove Conditions from the list - No editing that I do to the template file does a thing. I'm really stumped on this. Just to be sure, I replaced all files with clean files from 1.3.1 full file set and tried again... No joy. I'm am just stumped here. Has anyone else had this problem? Or am I all alone out here...lol

Here's the code from my tpl_sitemap_default.php - it is sitting in the following directory - templates/my_custom_template/templates - Note I've removed "Conditions" and added three new links after "Contact_Us" - However, Conditions is still showing and none of the other links are added.

I cant help you, but maybe the gurus can. But everything that i wanted to do in my posts above worked great, good luck

Well I was hoping that you would be correct. But no one seem to have a clue why this is not working (at least they aren't responding if they do)

I may just pull out the site map builit into 1.31 and try insstalling the original contribution written for the older versions. I'm sure I'll have to modifiy it to make it work, but I know that I can edit that one.

I'm really surprised no one took a look at this. It's really huring the site when its indexed as I have many extra pages that are not being hit, even with the side links.

Any way, thanks for your reply (at least I know someone heard me...lol) and have a good day.

Turns out it was user error... I did not realize that I had an typo in the file name. How silly.. the site map is now perfect and all is well... sorry for the post. Working too many hours late at night.

DrByte:

... manually edit the template:
includes/templates/YOURTEMPLATE/templates/tpl_site_map_default.php

What if you don't have the templates folder inside YOURTEMPLATE? I have one in templates_default. So should I copy it over? Is it going to be a problem if I don't copy it over and edit the one in the template_default if I use a custom template?

Any time you customize a file it should be saved as an override, instead of changing the master template_default version.

You can find several FAQ articles on editing templates, using overrides, etc in the FAQ/Tutorials area:
