Hi all,

was wondering if anyone ever saw this happening? Note the slash missing after public_html... needless to say nothing is working yet! I have changed the permissions to the three dummy xml files to 777. How can I fix this? I am using Chemo's - Google XML sitemap feed v.1.3

Warning: fopen(/home/kindredh/public_htmlsitemapproducts.xml): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/kindredh/public_html/googlesitemap/sitemap.class.php on line 581

ERROR: Google Product Sitemap Generation FAILED!

Warning: fopen(/home/kindredh/public_htmlsitemapcategories.xml): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/kindredh/public_html/googlesitemap/sitemap.class.php on line 581

Warning: fopen(/home/kindredh/public_htmlsitemapindex.xml): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/kindredh/public_html/googlesitemap/sitemap.class.php on line 581

ERROR: Google Sitemap Index Generation FAILED!

Can anyone help me?

Thanks in advance

Hi - can anyone give me any tips on what could be done to solve this issue in my earlier post?

thanks

Hi all

I am trying to install v.1.3 on my site which has UltimateSEO installed already. I am doing this so I can get it to output the *.html url instead of the standard Oscommerce product.php?id=xxx urls.

Doing the install but am now stuck at an error which says

"Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING in /usr/local/home/httpd/vhtdocs/domain-name/googlesitemap/sitemap.class.php on line 273

Line 273 in the sitemap.class.php is -

$compress = defined('GOOGLE_SITEMAP_COMPRESS') ? GOOGLE_SITEMAP_COMPRESS : 'false';

I am not a coder and I know I m making a basic mistake somewhere so would appreciate any help to sort this one out.

thanks for all help ain adance

Hi,

i install this contrib and what could i say...it rocks :)

But now i want to integrate the enable/disable categories contrib to work well in this contrib.

I change the function GenerateCategorySitemap from
		$sql = "SELECT categories_id as cID, date_added, last_modified as last_mod 
			FROM " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " 
			ORDER BY parent_id ASC, sort_order ASC, categories_id ASC";
to
		$sql = "SELECT categories_id as cID, date_added, last_modified as last_mod 
			FROM " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " where categories_status = '1'
			ORDER BY parent_id ASC, sort_order ASC, categories_id ASC";
and it worked well.

But now i want to make changes to the function GenerateProductSitemap, not to display products from disabled categories.

I change from
		$sql = "SELECT products_id as pID, products_date_added as date_added, products_last_modified as last_mod, products_ordered 
			FROM " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " 
			WHERE products_status='1' 
			ORDER BY products_ordered DESC";
to
		$sql = "SELECT p.products_id as pID, p.products_date_added as date_added, p.products_last_modified as last_mod, p.products_ordered 
			FROM " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p,  " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " cd where p.products_status='1' 
			and cd.categories_status = '1'
			ORDER BY p.products_ordered DESC";
but it doesnt work in anyway.

Anyone an idea?

Hi,

Did you find a solution for your problem? If so would you mind share it as i'm trying to get it to work with enable/disable categories also. And i cant seem to get it working...

insomniac2 · June 11, 2006

I added the categories_status ='1' and products_status ='1' to each of the queries and tested both products and categories disabled functions and they worked for me.

I think your problem lies elsewhere and not with the Google Mod itself.

Hey Everyone,

I have just uploaded into the Contributions area Chemo's NEW version of the XML Sitemap.

This version is a MUCH MUCH improved version. He has done a BRILLIANT job with this.

This is a one script solution and eliminates the need for CRON jobs, file permissions, and other problems that plague other scripts. All data is generated on the fly...truly a set and forget solution for osC stores.

The attached file is for the product sitemap. I have another for the categories but you should be able to use the very simple product one as a template...simply change the SQL a bit and you off and running.

Get it here: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,3233

Cheers,

Chris :)

Hey, I just uploaded the new version with BOTH the products and categories Sitemaps.

Both of them were written by Chemo, and are great.

Simply copy them both into your catalog directory and tell Google where they are, and away you go. No need to change anything in them.

Here it is: http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,3233

Hey,

From a brief look, are you sending other data through your application_top and application_bottom. You cannot do that with this script.

The problem could also be because you have HTML tags in your product description.

What this line doing there: <div align="center"><span class="smallText">Current Parse Time: <b>0.229 s</b> with &...

urn false" onfocus="h()" class="b">

The output in this file should ONLY be your products, and nothing else. You cannot add any other data to it.

Maybe try commenting out the bit where it includes application_bottom and seeing how it goes??

Cheers,

Chris

shlomik · June 21, 2006

I commented out "includes application_bottom" and it works.

Thanks

Hello, I'm getting the following error when trying to run this script: I have the script installed at

/catalog/googleSitemapCategories.php

Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

First thanks for your updates, stonebridgecomputing, and thanks to Chemo for his scripts.

@stonebridgecomputing

I see that your googleSitemapCategories.php does not index all categories but just the subcategories containing the products. Is there a reason for this or is it a bug?

Example:

----------------

test_cat1

test_sub_cat1

test_prod1

test_cat2

test_sub_cat2

test_prod2

test_cat3

-----------------

googleSitemapProducts.php shows the products correctly.

googleSitemapCategories.php shows only test_sub_cat1 and test_sub_cat2, but it doesn't show test_cat1, test_cat2 and test_cat3.

For those that want to have all categories replace the $sql variable in googleSitemapCategories.php line 50 from:

$sql = "SELECT 
				c.categories_id as cID, 
				c.date_added as category_date_added, 
				c.last_modified as category_last_mod,
				MAX(p.products_date_added) as products_date_added, 
				MAX(p.products_last_modified) as products_last_mod   
		FROM " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " c, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_TO_CATEGORIES . " p2c 
			LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p 
				ON (p2c.products_id = p.products_id) 
		WHERE c.categories_id = p2c.categories_id 
		GROUP BY cID  
		ORDER BY 
			category_date_added ASC, 
			category_last_mod ASC, 
			products_date_added ASC, 
			products_last_mod ASC";

to:

$sql = "SELECT categories_id as cID, date_added as category_date_added, last_modified as category_last_mod 
			FROM " . TABLE_CATEGORIES . " 
				ORDER BY parent_id ASC, sort_order ASC, categories_id ASC";

(preferably just comment the code to replace by using /* and */ and add the new code below it)

Hey,

The category code was Chemo's too, and I dont know why he did it.

If people find your changed code better, then please feel free to put it in the contribs area.

Cheers,

Chris :)

Hi,

Please forgive if I sound stupid in asking this as I am still pretty new to all this php stuff... I went to add the On the fly Google XML from June 20.

There were no real instructions in this and basically if I understand it correctly all I had to do is just put those two files in my catalog directory and submit to Google and I am done???

While this sounds way to easy - I see in the support many questions about other stuff - so I guess I am wondering do I need to install anything else with this or is it stand alone?

Also once I do just add these files where do I go from there... is there anything I need to do to run scripts or does it do it by itself when called on? I did go to the google sitemaps and tried to get to index but just got 404 error.

Any help for a beginner like me really would be so kindly appreciated.

Hi,

For anyone who isn't sure how to install the new On The Fly Google XML Sitemap by Chemo, all you need to do is to copy it into your catalog directory and then submit it to Google. You DO NOT need to change any files.

If it doesn't work and comes up with some error about there already being output, then open up the xml sitemap file and comment out the include application_bottom.php file and see how you go.

Regards,

Chris

Lexi · June 27, 2006

Hi Chris,

Thank you so much for your reply & I did go in and delete the include application_bottom.php & it worked like a charm!!!

Thank you so very very much!!

Lexi :D

Hi,

I know the answer is simple & I will be embarressed - however here goes, I have installed the Google XML Sitemap, latest ver. wouldn't run so comment out 'app_bottom' and when you view it in a browser http://www.fieldsofblue.co.uk/store/google...pCategories.php it shows an XML file - perfect!

Here is the stupid bit - what happens next? - I know google sitemaps - have a few in there, I can add a given sitemap and submit it - but something needs to generate a file /storesitemap.xml or whatever....

OR Do I need to save these xml files myself? or am I missing something (apart from a brain!)

have found most things in here and it has been VERY helpful

appreciate any help

Thanks graham

Hey,

You do not need to save any files or create any other files. You simply sign up with Google Sitemaps, and then add the php file as the sitemap for Google. Google doesn't look whether it is an xml file or whatever; it simply looks at the content of the file and sees that it is in XML format, and uses it.

The point of this version of the XML sitemap feed was to get rid of the whole process of having to create separate XML files.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,

Chris
