I have posted a new version that includes the extra bullet fix above.

IS the fix you're talking about part of v 3.5.8? I also am running Allprods. I have another issue thought that I am writting about. I have double checked everything including the SQL database, but I am getting the following error:

 

1146 - Table 'doubled1_osc01.TABLE_SITEMAP_EXCLUDE' doesn't exist

 

select exclude_file from TABLE_SITEMAP_EXCLUDE where exclude_type != "0" and is_box="0"

 

Can you help a rookie at this?

 

Thanks for the contribution.

Looks like you missed the define in admin/icludes/database_tables.php

I have been real busy lately. I will try to run down the problem....I know it has to do with the info pages unlimited fix, because without it everything works real well.

Hi all,

 

Does anyone have a fix for the duplicate (repeating) entries in the list of pages on the sitemap yet?

 

Cheers,

Paul

I am am process of updating dynamic site map ver 3.4 to the latest ver. When the unzip window opens after clicking download icon at http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/3306, ther is a red X in left upper corner of window. I read some where on forum, that meant the files in that folder were corrupt. Looked at a few below that ver. Ver 3.5.2 and later all display the red X.

 

so before I up dated to the latest ver, I would like to check regarding the red X. All below that date has the red check check mark.

 

Thanks.

It's the F*$*G windows. Can't open anything.Is it the filenames or the lineendings or the file extensions. Any number of GD things flummux it up. I will fix it for you PC guys. How is everyone else opening it?

Hi,

 

Thanks for the heads up Todd; I will also take a look at the code changed in the info pages unlimited fix to see if I can solve the issue. Thanks for your reply both.

 

Cheers,

Paul

Ok, I just don't have time to take a good look at this righht now (its crunch time here!!).

 

However, I have found a quick fix; it looks as though the contrib is displaying a list of all pages, not only as normal links, but also as secure links (although the SSL links are not formatted correctly; they are http rather than https). Maybe this issue has something to do with the fact that I have configured osCommerce NOT to use SSL whilst I am in test!?

 

Anyway, quick fix; in "catalog/dynamic_sitemap.php" around line 281, comment out the following lines of code:

 

// Box Files
for ($b = 0; $b < count($files['name']); ++$b){
 echo '<li><a title="'. $files['name'][$b] .'" href="' . tep_href_link($files['path'][$b]) . '">' . $files['name'][$b] . '</a></li>';
}

 

Just above these lines of code you will see the code which I presume is supposed to write the SSL links to the page, but it seems flawed, in the sense that it does not take stock of the fact that I do not have SSL enabled in the install, and just writes the page links incorrectly.

 

Does this sound like a realistic possibility?

 

 

Cheers,

Paul

Yeah if you have ssl off it will not use ssl links........So what do the links look like? I never took into the fact that SSL may be off.

Hi

This is maybe simple questions for an experienced OsC person, but not for me: I have just installed this very good contribution, and when clicking on "Site Map Maintenace", I cant read sitemap.php (permissions are 755), and no maintennace can be done. What is wrong here?

 

The site map is created nicely. But I don't understand if and how product names can be shown - now only categories are shown.

 

Sorry, maybe this is basic questions, but: ????

 

Thank you.

I were able to solve the first part of this. But: is it possible to show product names in the list?

Still looking for an answer to my above post.

I have already done the change metioned in post 115 as quoted below.

 

That is failing because Gift Vouchers store the filenames in a different file. Find this line in includes/add_ccgvdc_application_top.php

CODE

define('FILENAME_GV_FAQ', 'gv_faq.php'); //moved here for dynamice sitemap

and move it to the includes/filenames.php file. If you ever update Gift Vouchers, this problem will return so I plan on adding a fix to Dynamic SiteMap but this will work for now.

Anyone have an answer to this problem?

Jack,

I know of the problem, I think. It is going to be in your information.php box file. If I am correct it has to do with the $info_box_contents[] = array and how the ccgv link is added in. It needs to be added like all the other links.... Sorry I cannot be specific, I pulled ccgv from my site.

Hi.. I have just tried to install the Dynamic sitemap v 3.5.10.

 

I installed it on my test server on Windows/IIS before uploading changes to my soon to be live *nux version.

 

I get the admin page which allows me to include/exclude the various pages but I get an HTTP 500 error when I click on the generate XML site map button (also btw I would prefer to set the time zone only once 'cos I know I will forget to do it in the future).

 

It is very frustrating as I get no error messages or progress messages so I can't diagnose anything.

 

Can anyone help please, pretty please..

 

KdB

 

PS: I also get the HTTP 500 error on my index page when I try the catalog side.

Just got this working. Looks good but . . .

 

I have the SEO-G contribution for Search engine optimization.

 

All my links generated on the site maps are the default:

http://www.mysite.com/product_info.php?products_id=28

 

but they should be like this:

 

http://www.mysite.com/product-name.html

 

 

Any idea how to fix this? Also, is there a way to show my products on the sitemap? Only categories are showing and I have a little bit of products so showing them would be ideal.

 

 

Can anyone help with this? I can pay if necessary. I need this fixed ASAP.

 

 

Thanx.

mmmmmmmmmmmm. Doughnuts . . . haha. i said nuts.

The links created by the sitemap generator are a big problem and is why I was against adding that option in the first place. For anyone using a url rewriter, the sitemap generator in this contribution should not be used. As an alternative, you may want to take a look at this sitemap contribution I just uploaded. It will, in my opinion, give better results, especially in a case like yours.

Awesome! I'll give that a test drive tomorrow morning.

Happy New Year!

Just to note that I have finally got this working on the real site -

 

The xml generator problem was probably because of a protection problem and I couldn't fix that on the Windows side.

 

The other 500 errors were caused by my dyslexic/ancient fingers.

 

However, now that it works I would like a way to order the page links. I tried a $sort($files['name']); but although this did sort by names it then misaligned the links with the names. I also tried asort but that didn't work either.

I am new to PHP so I am a bit wonky on syntax (and a few other things as well).

 

My preferred option would be to assign an order for each line and also maybe have artificial groups as for the boxes.

 

For instance I would like my Home page to be on top, not halfway down.

 

I also have OSC Affiliate installed and the box listing doesn't quite work for the sitemap but I would like to create a sort of artificial box listing - does this make sense?
