Dynamic SiteMap

[FixItPete]

Well all I did to take care of my problem was copy over my v1.5 with v2.0 of the dynamic sitemap file in the catalog and all is working 100% now. :) I also re-enabled the right side boxes, for some reason they were //ed out.

 

?

 

I don't know if it was the right way, but not it works. ;)

I did a fresh install of Dynamic Sitemap v 3.5.6, everything looks good. Site submits successfully! Only problem I am getting is lastmod not writing to http://castbakery.com/catalog/smmain.xml.

 

In Webmaster tools, Google is returning Status

Warnings:

Total URLs in Sitemap: 31 for that file.

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

 

I've double checked the install, but I can't find anything I did wrong with it. I'm not sure if its a coding issue with the latest version.

Never mind, I fixed it. In catalog/admin/create_xml_sitemaps.php

 

The line of code:

fwrite($fh, utf8_encode('<url><loc>' . smspecialchars($fPath . $files[$b]['path']) . '</loc><lastmod>' . $files[$b]['modified'] . '</lastmod></url>'."\n"));

 

changed it to

 

fwrite($fh, utf8_encode('<url><loc>' . tep_href_link($files[$b]['path'],'','NONSSL',false) . '</loc><lastmod>' . $files[$b]['modified'] . '</lastmod></url>'."\n"));

HI help please!!!!…if anyone could point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated as I have gooled to I’am blue in the face and cant seem to find an answer to my problem.

 

I have install dynamic sitemap 3.5.2 and seo url by chemo.

 

The problem I’am having is with the urls are now SEO friendly but the site map still shows the OSC path..

 

Ie SEO URL .. /sliding-sash-hardware-turbo-balances-c-22_38.html

Dynamic site map path /index.php?cPath=22_38

 

This is causing problems with my submitted site maps in Google as its picking it up as lots of 301 redirects and therefore not spidering the map.

 

If anyone can give me a pointer on how to solve this I would be very grateful.

 

Mike

Hi,

 

the contribution is working perfectly with my shop. I just have got a problem with sorting the dynamic sitemap in an alphabetical order. At the moment all sites are listed, but by heading_title and date of first publishing. How do I have to change the code to make sure, that the listed sites are only sorted in an alphabetical order?

 

Thank you for support.

Greetings from Germany

I did changes for STS users as it was suggested, when I run "submit" I got the page with links, but still file sitemaps.xml is old.

 

 

What kind of changes STS users should do?

Hello i am having couple of issues, most probably they are becouse i am using a custom , oscommerce.

I have 3 questions.

 

1º-I have added SEO URL , is there any way to show them at the XML files?

 

2º-

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
<sitemap><loc>smmain.xml</loc><lastmod>2008-11-14T18:36:25+00:00</lastmod></sitemap>
<sitemap><loc>smcats.xml</loc><lastmod>2008-11-14T18:36:25+00:00</lastmod></sitemap>
<sitemap><loc>smproducts.xml</loc><lastmod>2008-11-14T18:36:25+00:00</lastmod></sitemap>
<sitemap><loc>smmfg.xml</loc><lastmod>2008-11-14T18:36:25+00:00</lastmod></sitemap>
<sitemap><loc>smspecials.xml</loc><lastmod>2008-11-14T18:36:25+00:00</lastmod></sitemap>
</sitemapindex>

For some weird reason my xml files come out like this without path....

 

 

3º-Another questions refers to the sitemap at the web when i display it , the column at the right hand side gets two empty categories that have no link nor text, any idea why this happens ?

 

Thanks in advance to anyone that helps me with this matters.

SOLVED HERE PAGE 37 more or less

 

a quick little bug fix, to the orphaned li tag (which shows as an extra bullet point) at the bottom of the pages list on the sitemap, if you have chosen to exclude all info boxes from the sitemap list

in dynamic_sitemap.php about line 273 change the box files section from

Hi

 

Can anyone advise me on this problem?

 

I inadvertently "included" tell_a_friend.php in "catalog boxes" in site map maintenance.

 

The button appeared on the shop's dynamic sitemap but no description along side it.

 

When I tried to exclude it from the list in catalog boxes I found that the name does not appear but there is a blank entry.

 

It is impossible to exclude this blank entry.

 

Anyone got any ideas as to how to fix?

 

Best Regards

Peter

A quick-n-dirty fix would be to modify the database entry.

[arrowmodels]

Hi Dave

 

Many thanks for reply.

 

I'm a newbie to all this but I managed to work out the database entry and inserted tell_a_friend.php and it worked.

Never mind, I fixed it. In catalog/admin/create_xml_sitemaps.php

 

The line of code:

fwrite($fh, utf8_encode('<url><loc>' . smspecialchars($fPath . $files[$b]['path']) . '</loc><lastmod>' . $files[$b]['modified'] . '</lastmod></url>'."\n"));

 

changed it to

 

fwrite($fh, utf8_encode('<url><loc>' . tep_href_link($files[$b]['path'],'','NONSSL',false) . '</loc><lastmod>' . $files[$b]['modified'] . '</lastmod></url>'."\n"));

 

Hi Tony

 

I got the same errors as you and tried your mod but got errors when I tried to create the sitemap. It didn't like the NONSSL part of the mod.

 

Any ideas? Unfortunately I am not a programmer.

Just installed this and it works OK, but I've got "All Products" Contribution also installed and when attempting to apply the All Products fix, I have encountered an issue with finding the file to edit?

 

To quote from the Readme:

 

To make all products work with Dynamic sitemap:

[b]in customer service:[/b]

***FIND:
									 //BOF allprods modification
									 $info_box_contents[] = array('align' => 'center',
																  'text'  => '<font size=-2><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ALLPRODS, '', 'NONSSL') . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_ALLPRODS . '</a></font>');

									 '<a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_ALLPRODS, '', 'NONSSL') . '">' . BOX_INFORMATION_ALLPRODS . '</a>');
									 //EOF allprods modification

 

What the hell sort of file is "customer service" and where do I find it to apply the edit?

 

Your help is appreciated on this.

Hi,

I have installed dynamic sitemap v2.0. I am looking for the fix to eliminate the extra bullet that shows up. I don't have the same code as posted by a member a few posts up. My code has this part

Any help is greatly appreciated

Thanks

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]))

?>

</ul>

<?php

}

}

?>

</ul>

[lildog]

oops....that is a custom box I have. The edit needs to be applies to:catalog/includes/boxes/information.php.

 

AND DON'T FORGET:

 

This same basic step needs to be performed for any boxes where you want the all products link

to show in the sitemap.(note this only works on certain boxes, hopefully this will get more attention in the future)
