gaaalmp Posted February 6, 2011 Share Posted February 6, 2011 I don't like to hijack Roberts thread and apologies if I'm misunderstanding the issue. With anonther contrib (not this one) I had a major problem and mess to clean up with cpaths created like _77 & 0_77 after installing Sitemap SEO. Just thought I'd share that in case it's the cause of your issue. Cheers. Looking for any info on this issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaaalmp Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 Looks like you posted in the wrong thread. Hi Jack, Not really. I have a problem and thought Ultimate SEO is causing the issue but another forum user said the problem is exactly what they experienced and it was caused by this contrib. SEO sitemaps. I posted my last reply to this thread and asked this forum user if they could provide further info or possible share the fix. Anyway. To elaborate I have an issue where: I am getting duplicate content i.e (verified by webmaster tools) my-category-c-41_44.html & my-category-c-_44.html The parent ID is set in the DB and also referenced correctly. I did the following tests: Example of Original working link: my-category-c-4_44.html Changed parent ID variable in the address bar: my-category-c-_44.html my-category-c-123_44.html my-category-c-5435435_44.html All of these just go to the same category my-category-c-abc_44.html my-category-c-12abc3_44.html These 404 and redirect. As they have letters not just numbers included. Which makes sense. "my-category-c-4_44.html" is a sub category of a category called for example "hardware-c-4.html" so its: - hardware-c-4.html - my-category-c-4_44.html In the database for my-category-c-4_44.html: parent_id = 4 category_id = 44 In the database for hardware-c-4.html: parent_id = 0 category_id = 4 TIGERGIRL replied to my last post with this comment: "I don't like to hijack Roberts thread and apologies if I'm misunderstanding the issue.

gaaalmp Posted February 7, 2011 Share Posted February 7, 2011 ... I forgot to add that I tried the fix mentioned on page 22 and that didn't solve the problem, Am I the only one to have the duplicate content issue, or has someone else come across this as well. Would appreciate any help on this one. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This contribution works perfectly with Ultimate SEO V2.2d, which is the one I recommend. Plus, this contribution doesn't format any urls. It just create links from the standard code. If it fails with some other url rewriter, then that contribution is at fault and you need to ask in its support thread.

You have to initialize them, per the instructions. The error you are seeing is due to a coding error in the contribution and has been covered here. The fix is to change if (! function_exists('curl_init')) to if (function_exists('curl_init')) in the includes/functions/sitemap_seo.php files (in both shop and admin). leveera 1 Quote Support Links: For Hire: Contact me for anything you need help with for your shop: upgrading, hosting, repairs, code written, etc. Get the latest versions of my addons Recommended SEO Addons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack_mcs Posted March 6, 2011 Author Share Posted March 6, 2011 strops and mb_strops are the same, last one is for UTF-8 encoding, do you know does SEO sitemap play for UTF-8 intsallations? It's not the same. You have to specifically call the function for it to be used, which my code doesn't. As for it working on UTF-8, yes, it does. That does not come in to play with this kind of contribution. leveera 1 Quote Support Links: For Hire: Contact me for anything you need help with for your shop: upgrading, hosting, repairs, code written, etc. Get the latest versions of my addons Recommended SEO Addons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost agree, just in this case core php extention mb_string can do it for us. Anyway this is not a problen anymore Can we talk about "Error!Unable to determine the page link!" on sitemap.php It comes from html_output.php Any ideas? // The HTML href link wrapper function function tep_href_link($page = '', $parameters = '', $connection = 'NONSSL', $add_session_id = true, $search_engine_safe = true) { global $request_type, $session_started, $SID; if (!tep_not_null($page)) { die('</td></tr></table></td></tr></table><br><br><font color="#ff0000"><b>Error!</b></font><br><br><b>Unable to determine the page link!<br><br>'); } Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kaabuks Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Hello, I have a problem with Lithuanian characters ą,č,š... and so on. My sitemap displays û,ø,ð,ë... characters instead of Lithuanian. The problem appears only in sitemap page. Strange thing is that when I open this page in google chrome, everything is ok, but in explorer or firefox something is going wrong. Any suggestions?

Jack_mcs Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 Hello, I have a problem with Lithuanian characters ą,č,š... and so on. My sitemap displays û,ø,ð,ë... characters instead of Lithuanian. The problem appears only in sitemap page. Strange thing is that when I open this page in google chrome, everything is ok, but in explorer or firefox something is going wrong. Any suggestions? The sitemap.php file may be using code that is different than what is in your shop. You should compare that file with a known good one, like privacy.php, assuming it works correctly, to find the difference.

Jack_mcs Posted April 26, 2011 Author Share Posted April 26, 2011 Hi Jack_mcs, I have one more question. Where can i remove or change links created with Additional link Control in the Box Control? I have created one with the wrong path and now can't remove it. thanks! It's a known problem and will be fixed in the next release (no idea on when that will be). In the meantime, all you can do is delete it directly from the sitemap_seo_box_links table.

zpupster Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 hello jack, first of all this is a great contribution. i have run into a problem though--my realted category(ies) links on the bottom of my product page ( they work on the sitemap.php page) does not take me to the related category but takes me back to the homepage. i searched "related categories" in this topic but did not find anything quite like my problem. the link to my category in source looks like this: <a class="sitemap" title="title" href="http://mysite.com/series-c-_23.html">my category</a> but my URL for that category looks like this: http://mysite.com/series-c-22_23.html why it takes me back to my homepage rather than erroring is also strange. all "related categories" links are similiar. "related products" links are all fine. could you comment what i did wrong or why this is happening. thanks, craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack_mcs Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 the link to my category in source looks like this: <a class="sitemap" title="title" href="http://mysite.com/series-c-_23.html">my category</a> The link is invalid. If you turn off your url rewriter does the link then work correctly. If so, it that contribution. Which one are you using?

zpupster Posted July 8, 2011 Share Posted July 8, 2011 The link is invalid. If you turn off your url rewriter does the link then work correctly. If so, it that contribution. Which one are you using? thanks for responding! i turned off enable seo urls and it works fine. i am using Ultimate SEO URLs v2.2d. after further look the code on product_info.php is taking the category link from sitemap_seo.js : <?php if (SITEMAP_SEO_SHOW_INDIVIDUAL_CATEGORY_SITEMAP == 'true') { ?> <tr> <td class="smallText"><a href="javascript:displaySitemapCategory();" class="smallText"><span style="vertical-align:text-bottom; "><img src="images/sitemap_arrow.jpg" alt="" border="0"></span><span style="padding-left: 3px;"><?php echo TEXT_SITEMAP_RELATED_CATEGORIES; ?></span></a></td> </tr> and the category links on sitemap.php are taken from this code on the sitemap.php ( if i am right??): /****************** DISPLAY CATEGORIES *********************/ $showCategories = ''; if (tep_not_null($settings['heading_categories'])) { $showCategories .= '<tr><th class="sitemapHeading" align="' . SITEMAP_SEO_HEADING_ALIGNMENT . '">' . $settings['heading_categories'] . '</th></tr>'; } $showCategories .= '<tr><td class="sitemap">'; $class = (SITEMAP_SEO_DISPLAY_PRODUCTS_CATEGORIES == 'true') ? 'category_tree.php' : 'category_tree_no_products.php'; require DIR_WS_CLASSES . $class; $osC_CategoryTree = new osC_CategoryTree(); $showCategories .= $osC_CategoryTree->buildTree(); $showCategories .= '</td></tr>'; i changed the closing tag for <th...> from </td> to </th>, but that is just minor. is there any way i can get this to work, or if not maybe i will remove the related categories on the product_info.php page. thanks again, craig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That version of Ultimate SEO is completely compatible with this contribution. The next version, which isn't ready for upload, has changes in it that might fix this. If you would like to PM me an email address, I'll send you the files.
