These errors indicate that you have not successfully installed the "install.sql" - which updates your osc database with a needed table and keys.

rcplace, have you tried to install it yet???

 

i have access to the mysqladmin and used that - but you most likely wouldn't have access to that...

 

you can try this...

 

[ this is a best guess for you - so make a backup first ]

 

in you administaion tool head to "Tools > Database Backup"

 

first make a backup of your database by clicking the backup botton and choosing the desired way you want such backup...

 

after that, while still in "Tools > Database Backup" click the restore botton, and select the option to Browse so you can enter "install.sql" - once it is entered, click the restore botton --- does that work for you???

 

if not it shouldn't hurt anything - but if by chance it did, simply install the backup you made...

 

and, well, wait for someone smarter than me to answer your question ;)

Whot is your way to acces the database?

 

I have tried the restore methode, it did not work stil;

1146 - Table 'savageshop.sitemap_exclude' doesn't exist

 

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

 

[TEP STOP]

 

But it did not harm :D

Ahh - yes yes --- but good news - you actually should have access to you sql admin ---

 

log into your domain's control panal (your domain's - not the osc) - look it over and find "phpMyAdmin" click it - this will open direct access to your database(s)...

 

now be sure that if you have more than one database that you open the one your osc is using (not to worry if your osc is the only thing at your site using mysql) - once you are sure you have your osc database open look for the option to "import" - then browse to your "install.sql" and import it ---- TADA....

HA HA HA --- you still got some work ahead of you - but it's all worth it, you'll see :D

 

if you did not get and read the latest "ReadMe" (version 2.0) by aapinen, you can find it here:

http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contri.../search,sitemap in the contrib "Typo in readme in version 2.0"

 

 

realize that such will vary for each language....

 

once you've edited the files that it instructs you to, you should be pretty happy.....

 

................................................................................

 

i'll stop back in a few hours to see how things went for you --- let me know...

no - you shouldn't have to change them again -- i suggest - reading that readme again carefully and checking that you changed all the correct files properly....

 

realize that you have to do things like edit the "filenames.php" that's located in includes/ and the "filenames.php" that's located in admin/includes/ - and so on and so on --- and be sure that you are editing in the langauge that you are using - like if you are using german then you want to edit includes/languages/german.php and not includes/languages/english.php like it says in the readme (unless you want to edit both) and so on...

 

..............................................................

 

from your error messages it seems that all that's left for you to do is to get these files correctly edited...

and the right files, at that...

i would recommend excluding all that does not relate to members or non-member visitors --- and selecting "Exclude for unregistered users" the items that relate to members but do not relate to non-members...

 

also earlier in this thread was some discussion about google and all...

Dynamic Sitemap v2.0 with STS

 

Don't know if this got fixed, but I was having the same problem as someone earlier with the sitemap coming up blank with installed on a site using STS. I've managed to work around the problem, but I don't know why what I did works.

 

What I did was take the shipping.php file and modify it to include the code to display the site map.

 

I changed these two lines near the top:

require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_SHIPPING);

$breadcrumb->add(NAVBAR_TITLE, tep_href_link(FILENAME_SHIPPING));

to read

require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_DYNAMIC_SITEMAP);

$breadcrumb->add(NAVBAR_TITLE, tep_href_link(FILENAME_DYNAMIC_SITEMAP));

 

Then around line 56 where it has

<td class="main"><?php echo TEXT_INFORMATION; ?></td>

I changed that to have the code from dynamic_sitemap.php that displays the sitemap

<td class="main">
<?php	require (DIR_WS_CLASSES . 'category_tree.php');	$osC_CategoryTree = new osC_CategoryTree;	echo $osC_CategoryTree->buildTree();?>
 <ul class="sitemap">
<?php
  if (count($files['name']) > 0) { 
	for ($b = 0; $b < count($files['name']); ++$b) { 
?>			   
<li><?php echo '<a title="'. $files['name'][$b] .'" href="' . tep_href_link($files['path'][$b]) . '">' . $files['name'][$b] . '</a>'; ?></li>
<?php 
	} 
  }				 
  if (count($boxHeading) > 0) {
	for ($b = 0; $b < count($boxHeading); ++$b) {
	  echo '<li>'.$boxHeading[$b]['heading'][$b].'</li>';
?>
<ul>
  <?php
	for ($f = 0; $f < count($boxHeading[$b]['filename']); ++$f)
	  if (tep_not_null($boxHeading[$b]['filename'][$f]))
		echo '<li><a title="'. $boxHeading[$b]['boxtext'][$f] .'" href="' . tep_href_link($boxHeading[$b]['filename'][$f]) . '">' . $boxHeading[$b]['boxtext'][$f] . '</a></li>';
  ?>
</ul>
<?php
	  }
	}
?>
 </ul>
</td>

 

And to get rid of the continue button I deleted lines 63-75

	  <tr>
	<td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2" class="infoBox">
	  <tr class="infoBoxContents">
		<td><table border="0" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2">
		  <tr>
			<td width="10"><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '10', '1'); ?></td>
			<td align="right"><?php echo '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_DEFAULT) . '">' . tep_image_button('button_continue.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_CONTINUE) . '</a>'; ?></td>
			<td width="10"><?php echo tep_draw_separator('pixel_trans.gif', '10', '1'); ?></td>
		  </tr>
		</table></td>
	  </tr>
	</table></td>
  </tr>

 

Hope that works for other people.

Paul, it's ashame you couldn't get the sitemap to work as intended, for the method you implimented sacrifices the shipping.php (intended for shipping information, of course) which many, including myself, find very useful...

 

:huh:

 

Sorry, what I meant was I took shipping.php and renamed it to dynamic_sitemap.php, then modified that file so I still have shipping.php :)

Hi,

 

This weekend I applied the contribution headed Dynamic Sitemap V1.0 ? inside applied the latest Version V2.0.

 

Well basically I?m not that impressed, was hoping to see a list of my individual products, all categories and manufacturers. What I got was my category headings listed (Like in the standard left hand menu). There is an entry Manufacturers, however this is in red with no products listed underneath as I would have expected.

 

The admin site is pretty poor as well. When you exclude something from the sitemap, i.e "change password" it disppears forever. The layout of the admin control is a good idea, but poorly presented.

 

I?ve tried making a reply on the forum topic for this contribution, however my permissions do not allow me.

 

My sitemap looks like the following : http://www.ebody.co.uk/dynamic_sitemap.php

 

Any advice would be appreciated.

 

James

Copied from another post, seem to have access now to post here (obviously). Didn't mean to be harsh, infact I would like to take that back. I was just expecting a sitemap that would display all my products, but it looks to be showing me what I already have on the index page.

A sitemap shouldn't show the products. It should list the major sections. If you want your products listed, you should install All Products with Images (actually, you should have them both installed for best SEO).

Jack,

 

Okay, so if I install contribution "All Products with Images" I'll then see my products in my dynamic sitemap, have you any examples of this contribution and also with the dynamic sitemap..

I still thought a sitemap was supposed to allow you to see all products so google can spider them allowing them to acheive a PR rating.

What about the fact I just have the word manufacturers and nothing else?

 

Cheers,

 

James

No, an All Products page will be displayed by the All products contribution. They do not belong on the site map. You won't see them there.

 

I don't see the problem with the manufacturer here. It may be that that box needs to be excluded.

yeah there does seem to be problems with inclusion of info boxes within the sitemap (the 'site info' box in the sitemap works fine) - i did not find such to be such a drawback however - i just excluded them...

 

all in all i found this contrib to be great - even with its minor 'blemishes'

 

what OSTastic99 fails to understand is the purpose of a "sitemap" (beyond SEO) and that is to help clients find what they are looking for easily - this is understandable considering OSTastic99's site - he doesn't have 3,000 or more products...

 

OSTastic99, the sitemap really shows its PLUS with sites that have subcategories - where at a glance a client can see each and every category - rather than the need to click a category in the cat-info box in order to see what subcategories exists under it -- as well, consider how much of a drawback it would be for a more complicated site with thousands of products to list them all in the sitemap -- it would defeat the purpose - for the sitemap is meant to simplify...

 

i didn't see the 'misfunctioning' of the sitemap when trying to include some of the info boxes as a big drawback because the more important info-boxes are on every page anyway...
