[CONTRIBUTION] Google XML Sitemap Feed - by Chemo

[Guest]

Using this togheter with the "ULTIMATE SEO 5"

my "XML" for products looks like:

http://www.laptop-skydd.se/sitemapproducts.xml

 

i.e a products gets a link like:

http://www.laptop-skydd.se/product_info.php?products_id=250

but on the site they have:

http://www.laptop-skydd.se/product_info.php/blomma-p-250

 

This is gives some problem with google like:

"URLs not followed

When we tested a sample of URLs from your Sitemap, we found that some URLs redirect to other locations. We recommend that your Sitemap contain URLs that point to the final destination (the redirect target) instead of redirecting to another URL.

HTTP Error: 301 URL: Go to URLhttp://www.laptop-skydd.se/product_info.php?products_id=124"

 

What im i doing wrong, are ther other contributions?

This contribution doesn't use the standard osCommerce function tep_href_link() it also hardcodes in the old seo urls series 2 which means that no other url rewriter can possibly work.

 

In the package you downloaded (USU5) I added two corrected files which will work. extras/Google XML Sitemap SEO/

 

If you use a cron job to create these files read the instructions as you have to use wget in the cron command.

Hi, all.

 

I installed Google XML Sitemap and when I tried to view sitemapindex.xml and the other 2 files, sitemapindex wouldn`t be created while others did.

 

When I browsed "www.mydomain.com/sitemapindex.xml", it turned out like this;

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>

<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84" />

 

The other 2 turned out with links.

 

Is this right?

Sometime in the past two weeks, sitemapspecials.xml will not verfify. This is what I see when at webmster tools:

 

Invalid date

An invalid date was found. Please fix the date or formatting before resubmitting.

The Last modification date is like 1969-12-31 . But the other xml pages is not a problem. In fact, I know i updated the specials just last month.

 

You may seee what I mean at http://brs-giftshop.com/sitemapspecials.xml.

 

I've resubmitted, but smae error message. Does not make any sense why the specials is the only one that will not verify.

By the way I am using ver Sitemap SEO XML v_1.4 and my store is RC2A

 

Thanks.

Paths don't match

We've detected that you submitted your Sitemap using a URL path that includes the www prefix (for instance, http://www.example.com/sitemap.xml). However, the URLs listed inside your Sitemap don't use the www prefix (for instance, http://example.com/myfile.htm).

URL: Go to URLhttp://thecheaplaptops.co.uk/hp-nc4000-intel-pentium-40gb-512mb-windows-xp-wifi-laptop-p-31.html

Everything seems to be working...

I set up the cron job and this is what I received via email.

Except for the first few lines below... everything looks good.

Is the first part of this an issue to be concerned about?

 

/web/cgi-bin/php5: Symbol `client_errors' has different size in shared object, consider re-linking

Content-type: text/html

 

<pre>Write /home/html/sitemapproducts.xml<br>Generated Google Product Sitemap Successfully

 

Write /home/html/sitemapcategories.xml<br>Generated Google Category Sitemap Successfully

 

Write /home/html/sitemapmanufacturers.xml<br>Generated Google Manufacturers Sitemap Successfully

 

Write /home/html/sitemapspecials.xml<br>Generated Google Specials Sitemap Successfully

 

Write /home/html/sitemapindex.xml<br>Generated Google Sitemap Index Successfully

 

CONGRATULATIONS! All files generated successfully.

 

If you have not already submitted the sitemap index to Google click the link below.

Before you do I HIGHLY recommend that you view the XML files to make sure the data is correct.

 

For your convenience here is the CRON command for your site:

php /index.php

 

Here is your sitemap index: /sitemapindex.xml

Here is your product sitemap: /sitemapproducts.xml

Here is your category sitemap: /sitemapcategories.xml

Here is your manufacturers sitemap: /sitemapmanufacturers.xml

Here is your specials sitemap: /sitemapspecials.xml

</pre>

Thanks alot!

I just want to make sure I'm on the right track.

Thanks for any help.

Edit:

Problem solved.

My partner changed some code to make it work but he forgot /webshop/ on the savepath

$this->savepath = '/home/my_account/public_html/';

$this->savepath = '/home/my_account/public_html/webshop/';

Just installed Sitemap and everything when ok but one line

ERROR: Google Pages Sitemap Generation FAILED!

 

Any ideas?

 

[Jack_mcs]

That problem has a coding error that causes that. But it is no longer supportted. I suggest you useGoogle XML Sitemap SEO instead.

Hi Jasper,

how did you solve it? I have the identical problem.

 

Thank you, Antonin

[Davide.p]

Hi to everyone,

why in the urlset definition there is as xmlns ""http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"

Is it the same?

Many tools warn about this

Thank you in advance.
