SunDust Posted March 6, 2009 Posted March 6, 2009 Hi Jack, I have the next error in my localhost, in the first line of the test report: Notice: Use of undefined constant DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG - assumed 'DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG' in C:\htdocs\mysite\catalog\googlesitemap\index.php on line 44 After, the lines say that the test is ok but the XML files are empty. Why?? Thank you for your time and your work. Regards, SunDust Quote
Jack_mcs Posted March 6, 2009 Author Posted March 6, 2009 The DIR_WS_HTTP_CATALOG define is a standard oscommerce definition. The error is saying it can't find that in your installtion. You can download a fresh oscommerce package and compare its confiugre file with yours to see what is missing.

Jack_mcs Posted March 7, 2009 Author Posted March 7, 2009 A new version has been uploaded with these changes: - Added link to support thread. - Edited googlesitemap/index.php file to account for no manufacturers and specials. - Created an alternative seo_class.php file since so many were having problems with it. If you want to upgrade, just upload the googlesitemap/index.php and googlesitemap/seo_class.php files to your server.

Guest Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 I installed googlexml_sitemap_seo_v_1.1 I had to rename the sitemap.class_Alternate.php to sitemap.class.php because of issues with fopen. It still did not work until I copied the gss.xsl file into the store root. I did not see this in the instructions, so is this a correct step to take? Quote

It still did not work until I copied the gss.xsl file into the store root. I did not see this in the instructions, so is this a correct step to take? Hi Coopco, Yes, you have to copy the gss.xsl in the same folder as xml files. And yes, that step lack in the instructions... Quote
SunDust Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 Please try the new version. Jack WONDERFUL!!, No problem now, everything works fine!! I have used the sitemap.class.php (I have not used sitemap.class_Alternate.php). I recommend to make the change of the post #32, If you don't make it, everything will works fine but you can receive a error message in localhost test on the line 44 of the file index.php (but it will work). Thank you for your effort and time. SunDust Quote
jrthor2 Posted March 7, 2009 Posted March 7, 2009 I meant sitemap_class.php. Jack ok, so then how do I fix the language parameter on the end of my url's since I installed the Ultimate SEO URL's? Quote

It still did not work until I copied the gss.xsl file into the store root. I did not see this in the instructions, so is this a correct step to take? Hmm, that's strange about sitemap.class_Alternate.php since the file isn't called anywhere so it shouldn't be an issue. I don't have an answer for that one. For the gss file, yes, that is correct. I did add it to the original list of files but forgot to mention to upload it.

This doesn't have anything to do with Ultimate SEO. If the url's it create are incorrect, then you need to ask in that support thread.

Jack Well, my site works fine, and it gets the language url fine, as en. But, when your script creates the site index files, the language is not correct, so I don't believe it's an issue with Ultimate SEO URL's. Quote
pschwab Posted March 9, 2009 Posted March 9, 2009 Hi Jack, I just installed the 1.1 version you posted on 3/6, but I'm having one error when I run the /googlesitemap/index.php. All permissions are set to 777 and all sitemaps are created successfully except the manufacturers. I tried the fix from you post #7 but still get the error. Any idea what I need to do?

Jack_mcs Posted March 9, 2009 Author Posted March 9, 2009 Do you have any manufactures entered? Someone reported a problem with that previously and it was because his manufacturers tables were not completly filled in. You could also try the other version of the sitemap_class.php file. Your configure file has an extra / in it for the path since /home1/kurvyass/public_html// should be /home1/kurvyass/public_html/, but I don't think that will cause these problems, though it should be fixed.

Jack I only had 1 manufacturer entered. I made up a second one and that cleared the error somehow. I have no idea why there is the extra / in my path. It appeared after I installed the "SEO Urls 2.1.d Nov 08" contrib, but I have no idea how to correct it, though I wish I could. I just don't know enough and don't want to break it. Thanks for all the awesome work you do. You have no idea how many times you've helped me out!! Quote
Jack_mcs Posted March 9, 2009 Author Posted March 9, 2009 I'm glad I could help. As for the extra slash, it is almost certainly a mistake in your includes/configure.php file. You should post the problem in the general support forum along with the contents of that file, minus the database details, and someone will take a look at it.
