Sitemap SEO

Recommended Posts

I've not used this particular SEO sitemap, but here is some quick and easy code to try - this will output an array of data so that you can basically do whatever you want with it...

$c2p = array();
$category_2_product_query = tep_db_query("select p2c.*, p.products_image, pd.products_name from products_to_categories p2c left join products p on p.products_id = p2c.products_id left join products_description pd on p.products_id = pd.products_id where p.products_status = 1 and pd.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "'");
while ($category_2_product = tep_db_fetch_array($category_2_product_query)) {
  $c2p[$category_2_product['categories_id']][] = $category_2_product;
}

$_tree = new category_tree();
$tree = $_tree->getArray();

foreach ($tree as $a => $b) {
  $c = end(explode('_', $b['id']));
  
  $tree[$a]['products'] = $c2p[$c];
}

echo '<pre>';
print_r($tree);
echo '</pre>';

I do not know if that will be useful to anyone but it may give ideas...

with hundreds of categories and over 4500 products in them, I do not list products in the sitemap but am wondering if anyone has an idea how to implement just showing products for a selected category? 

ie: an arrow in front of the category that when clicked would expand just the products in that category as opposed to the link on top that shows all of them

Unfortunately that would not be a simple change. The addon uses a different class file depending upon whether the "show products" link is clicked or not. You would have to change one of the class files to handle showing the product and then only If it was one of the ones you wanted to show. And the icon for that category would have to be changed so it is clickable, which it isn't now.

You might be better off installing the All Products SEO addon. It can display by category and uses pagination so the number of products would not be an issue.

Where exactly can i find the sitemap? I've installed this mod (before 2.3 variant) to my osC so i could link sitemap file to Google but only thing it does is listing all categories (sitemap.php) and two dropdown lists in product_info.php.  i assume it is not the main purpose of this mod ;)

This isn't meant to work with google as a sitemap. It creates a site map on the site that the customers can use. The search engines will use it too but only as they find it on the site. For sitemaps you can submit to google, you need the Google Sitemap addon.

on mobile, the links are tiny and closely spaced, what needs to be done to make the results responsive or formatted like the rest of the site (2.4.3.1 Frozen)

They should be fine. Did you add the line to your user.css file to use this addons css file? If so, you can edit the media parts in sitemap_seo.css.

found the culprit in sitemap_seo.css

@media (max-width: 640px) {
 div.sitemap { font-size:10px;}
 #sitemap-display-wrapper {flex-direction: column;}
 .site-map-contact {font-size:10px;}
}

font-size:10px; is the culprit!

hi @Jack_mcs

been playing around with the sitemap and trying to get the products to hide unless clicked by using jquery and css as per the example here

http://jsfiddle.net/7Rqqd/

my main issue is getting the <div class="hidden-content">...........</div> to be placed only at beginning and end of each categories products.

the goal is to hide all products unless the category link (or an arrow in front of it) is clicked and then the products are expanded for that category only

I've been playing around with classes/category_tree_standard.php but can't quite seem to get it to work correctly
thought maybe you could have a go at it as you know your code better than I can try and figure it out.

As mentioned, that will not be a simple change, though it is possible. I can't offer help for such changes in support threads due to time-constraints.

Not sure you need any fancy js script to do that. Bootstrap has the, class="collapse" which will do that for you. All you need to do is apply that to the div to hide with a id to triger it on click. Just remember each div will need a unique id to triger it.

something like this. It's been applied to the first few links on the test site https://chilleddisplays.co.uk/sitemap.php

<li><a data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#demo" href="#"><span class="title">Action | CE BS4 test site</span></a>
<div id="demo" class="collapse">
<ul><li><a href="https://chilleddisplays.co.uk/index.php/view/all/manufacturers_id/8"><span class="title">GT Interactive | CE BS4 test site</span></a>
</li><li><a href="https://chilleddisplays.co.uk/product_info.php/products_id/22"><span class="title">Unreal Tournament | CE BS4 test site</span></a>
<li><a href="https://chilleddisplays.co.uk/product_info.php/products_id/12"><span class="title">Die Hard With A Vengeance | CE BS4 test site</span></a>
</li><li><a href="https://chilleddisplays.co.uk/index.php/view/all/manufacturers_id/4"><span class="title">Fox | CE BS4 test site</span></a>
<li><a href="https://chilleddisplays.co.uk/product_info.php/products_id/16"><span class="title">Courage Under Fire | CE BS4 test site</span></a>
</div>

To be honist i'm not sure what the use of this is as the site map should have links to all pages and osC catogorys are pages in themselves so should be links?

Note the above is just an example and not a recomended sitemap format.

the jquery script supplies the toggle to show and hide the links

<script type="text/javascript">
    $(".hide-products").click(function() {
        $(this).find(".hidden-content").toggle(); 
    });
</script>

what I am having trouble with is where in the code to place the divs so they appear on only the categories. with the above js, no unique id is required, just need the following to appear at beginning of category link <div class="hidden-content"> and the closing </div> at the end of said category. something like this...

  <div class="hide-products">
        Category 1 link here     
        <div class="hidden-content">
          <li>category 1 product 1 link</li>
          <li>category 1 product 2 link</li>
          <li>category 1 product 3 link</li>
          <li>category 1 product 4 link</li>
        </div>
  </div>

the css is this

.hidden-content {
    display: none;
    border: 1px solid black;
}

Sorry i must have  misunderstood what you were trying to do. The js you linked to I could not get it to work in BS4 site.

The problem I think your going to have is that a link is clickable so your not going to be able to use it to trigger the unhide. You will need some other object to do that.

Your going to have to add 2 class's to every collapse you need anyway which is why I suggested bootstrap collapse class, it's stable and works, but hey lot's of ays to skin this cat as they say 😊

<div class="hide-products">
        Click here to see category 1 products     
        <div class="hidden-content">
          <li>category 1 product 1 link</li>
          <li>category 1 product 2 link</li>
          <li>category 1 product 3 link</li>
          <li>category 1 product 4 link</li>
        </div>
  </div>

If you check on the js fiddle with this which you are trying to do, you will see it opens hidden content and goes to link at the same time.

<div class="content-holder"><a href="https://chilleddisplays.co.uk/index.php">
        Expand Content 1</a>
        <div class="hidden-content">Bunch of hidden content for div 2
            <br/>
            Lorem... Ipsum...
        </div>
    </div>

<div class="content-holder">
        Expand Content 2
        <div class="hidden-content">Bunch of hidden content for div 2
            <br/>
            Lorem... Ipsum...
        </div>
    </div>

the sitemap uses 2 category tree classes, 1 with just categories, 1 with cats and products.

as I have over 200 categories and 5k products it results in a massive page

trying to get it so if user want to search for a product, they can click on the category to list products, but only show the ones they have opened, rather than a massive page that takes forever to scroll through

You shouldn't have had to do that. No changes are needed in admin to install this addon. I know there is an english.php file in the files to be changed directory but that is just there because I forgot to delete it. It won't hurt anything to add to the english file but shouldn't be needed.

Hello Jack, @Jack_mcs how are you?

I have a question for you. The Sitemap of images that generates this addon is only of the main image? Or does it also generate index of the long images of a product?

Best regards

@valquiria23I'm sorry but I don't understand your question. This addon doesn't have anything to do with images. Maybe you meant to ask in the google sitemap thread? If you meant this one, please explain in more detail.

Hi Jack,

I'm going to update from 2.0 to 2.2 and I look that in 'catalog/includes/functions/sitemap.php' still call to 'catalog/includes/filenames.php' to check if exists a define on the file using the function "GetFileName()".

In 'catalog/includes/modules/sitemap.php' on line 61 are this code:

     if ($boxes['page_link_name'] === strtoupper($boxes['page_link_name'])) { //may not be a defined name
         $filename = GetFileName($boxes['page_link_name']);
     } else {
         $filename = $boxes['page_link_name'] ;  
     }

Are this ok? 

Thanks in advance

That file is no longer used so the boxes section won't work as in previous shops. That will be fixed in a future version, though I don't know when that will be. For this one, change this line

$file = DIR_FS_CATALOG . $end . 'includes/filenames.php';

to

return '';

Seems to missing file, I have the same issue.

catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/boxes/bm_sitemap_seo.php  <--- Exists.

catalog/admin/includes/languages/english/modules/  <--- Not exists.

There was meant to be a file in admin/includes/languages/English/modules/boxes/ named sitemap_seo.php with those lines. Having the file there prevents the need to change an existing file. The way you added it will work too.
