Dynamic SiteMap

Recommended Posts

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

Happy New Year!

 

Thanx Jack.

 

Hello,

I've just uninstaled Dynamic sitemap ( same url rewriting probleme ) and installed the new one sitemap SEO.

I kind of miss the XML generator for google submiting...

is there a way to combine both? can't we use tep-href-link some were in the dynamic-sitemap contrib to re-encode URL?

 

I tried here and there but whith no results but I'm not the creator of this good contrib.

 

Thank you for you time.

sorry I've juste see the awnser in the Sitemap SEO tread...

 

Thank you again.

2 - One of this reasons this contribution was written, as opposed to updating the Dynamic Sitemap, which was also mine, is because someone had added an xml sitemap to it. I said from the beginning that that was a mistake, which it still is, as some are finding out. The problem is that the xml sitemap entries won't match the actual url's if a url rewriter, like Ultimate SEO, is installed. That can cause duplicate content problems with the search engines. And since, I think, the majority of sites use a url rewriter, adding xml code to this contribution would introduce the same problem. The best solution is to install the google sitemap contribution by Chemo (v 1.3).

I have correctly change the permissions on the following XML files:

sitemaps.xml

smcats.xml

smmain.xml

smmfg.xml

smspecials.xml

 

to 666 (chmod 666).

I've seen others are having the same problem as me in this forum, but can't seem to find how they are fixing it. My category and manufacturer links on the sitemap are repeating the same link for each page. For example, instead of showing 9 links for the category below it shows the same link 9 times. I have chemo's seo urls installed and jacks header tags seo; not sure if they interact but feel it noteworthy. Please help if you know how to fix. Thanks!!!!

I have osc v 2.2 RC2 with Ultimate SEO URLs v2.1d and Header Tags SEO V 3.1.5.

I am looking to install a sitemap, but I don't know if I am ready to do that just yet. I have a session id problem.

When I use an on-line sitemap generator, and spider simiulator I am having session id's spidered.

 

I wanted to ask you if I should install sid killer, before I install this, or not?

 

Does this sitemap prevent session id form being spidered?

 

Also, want to ask if I want a google sitemap and a human readable sitemap do I need to install both Dynamic Sitemap and Google XML Sitemap SEO,? Or does Dynamic Sitemap do both?

 

Thank You

 

Larry

hello everyone i just installed this contribution thanks alot

everything seems to be working perfect i get the sitemap and it generates it on my page and all

 

 

my only concern is in the admin section

 

when i go to tools->sitemap maintenance i see all of the options like when to update and time zones and stuff

 

only thing is when i change some of the options like the time zone and i click submit then page "creating sitemaps" comes out and freezes there

 

all i see is a big page with the saying "creating xml sitemaps" on the top left and the "submit sitemap to : google sitemap yahoo sitemap and ask.com sitemap

I have two problems that I can't figure out for anything. The first is in Google Webmaster I have a redirect error for the following page. It redirects to the login page which is correct so I'm not sure how to fix it in the sitemap.

 

www.shedsforlessdirect.com/products/product_reviews_write.php

 

 

My second problem is that in my xml sitemap located at the link below it is generating multiple links that are the same for all the different pages in the same category. Anyone know how I can make each page unique?

 

www.shedsforlessdirect.com/products/create_xml_sitemaps.php

 

 

Thanks!!!

Ok, my problem described in my last post is not the sitemap causing it. The product_reviews_write.php button is on all of my product pages so it is getting hit by the spider. This page redirects to the login which which google gives us an error for. Anyone know how to get around this without totally disabling reviews or just making reviews accessible to any guest?

 

Thanks!

Hi,

 

Just add this great contribution(v3.5.10).

 

I have some questions.

 

1. My admin is running under SSL. When run the site, all link are under SSL.

 

https://mysite.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=1 --> 2009-07-18 20:32:50

 

I think it should be no-ssl link. How can I fix it.

 

2. I installed URLSEO. The link still show original format. Is it ok for search engine to read the no-seo link?

 

3. in maintain page, the default frequence and time zone cannot be changed.

 

Thank you for your help

How do I remove the http://sample.com/catalog/index.php from all my sitemaps? I generate a sitemap and do not see my url in sitemap.

Also this error in Site Map Maintenance.

 

1146 - Table 'xxxxx_osc3.TABLE_SITEMAP_EXCLUDE' doesn't exist

 

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

Hi all,

 

I've installed dynamic sitemap and I'm getting an "openbase restriction is in effect" warning on the catalog side.

Seems the script is trying to access the tmp dir, which is in the root of my store. The warning states however, that it's not within the allowed path (/var/www/vhosts/domain/httpdocs:/tmp).

Has anybody seen this before?

Great package, used it for some time now. Just upgraded to RC2.2 and re-installed latest version of Dynmic Sitemap.

The sitemap is showing up in the store no problem, but get an error posted when opening Sitemap Maintenance:

 

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

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

[TEP STOP]

 

I also notice in the admin screen, things only go as far as "Use the tools below etc" and the Files in Catalog portion is missing.

 

I have cycled through the install instructions a couple of times, and the phpMyadmin sitemap database table is present. Being a cut & paste guy I'm just wondering if I should back out the install And delete the database table then have another go at things?

 

Thanks again for a great contribution, any advice greatly appreciated

Need help with this error in dynamic_sitemap.php

 

1052 - Column 'categories_status' in where clause is ambiguous

 

select * from categories c, categories_description cd where parent_id = '0' and c.categories_id = cd.categories_id and categories_status = 1 and cd.language_id = '3' order by sort_order, cd.categories_name

 

[TEP STOP]

 

The code:

$category_status_check = '';
$check_query = tep_db_query("select * from " . TABLE_CATEGORIES);
$check = tep_db_fetch_array($check_query);
if (isset($check['status_categ'])) { // skip if this is not set to avoid SQL error
 $category_status_check = ' and status_categ = 1';
} elseif (isset($check['categories_status'])) { // [b]skip if this is not set to avoid SQL error[/b]
 $category_status_check = ' and categories_status = 1';
}
function getFileName($file, $define)        //retrieve the defined filename
{ 
  $fp = file($file);
  for ($idx = 0; $idx < count($fp); ++$idx)
  {
     if (!(strpos($fp[$idx], $define) === FALSE))
     {
         $parts = explode("'", $fp[$idx]);   
         return $parts[3];     
     }
  }    
  return NULL;
}
