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?

I just installed version v3.5.6 and everything looks fine, no problem at all, .xml files are getting updated

I have trouble which I am unable to resolve:

...
http://www.edn.czindex.php --> 2008-11-12T16:07:48-08:00
http://www.edn.czproducts_new.php --> 2007-06-14T00:52:00-08:00
http://www.edn.czprivacy.php --> 2006-03-27T19:49:00-08:00
...


As you see, there is a "/" missing in the path. I have tried to change the settings in configure.php, but without any success.
Any advice?




SOLVED. THANKS!

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.

Hi Jack

Now that I have successfully got your Header Tags SEO contribution up and running, I then installed your Dynamic Sitemap contribution.

At this stage evrything appears to be OK but I have the following error message on my Site Map Maintenance page:

Catchable fatal error: Object of class box could not be converted to string in /home/arrowmod/public_html/admin/includes/functions/html_output.php on line 281

Any ideas please?

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.

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>');
										 //EOF allprods modification	 

***REPLACE WITH:
										 //BOF allprods modification
										 '<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.

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)

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.
