jmoll Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Replace SELECT p.products_id as pID, p.products_date_added as date_added, p.products_last_modified as last_mod, p.products_ordered FROM products p, categories c, products_to_categories p2c where c.categories_status='1' and p.products_id = p2c.products_id and p2c.categories_id = c.categories_id and p.products_status='1' ORDER BY products_ordered DESC To SELECT p.products_id as pID, p.products_date_added as date_added, p.products_last_modified as last_mod, p.products_ordered FROM products p, categories c, products_to_categories p2c where p.products_id = p2c.products_id and p2c.categories_id = c.categories_id and p.products_status='1' ORDER BY products_ordered DESC Alternatively, install enable/disable categories Ok, I see that a number of us have gotten this dreaded c.ategories error, with a couple of posters adding the solution to it, but in a somewhat cryptic manner that leaves something to the imagination if you are not a programmer.... so, I thought I would try to help. I installed this contribution today, following all the instructions, and then of course received the 1054 - Unknown column 'c.categories_status' in 'where clause' error after running /googlesitemap/index.php for the first time. What's going on here is (and I've pieced this together from some version history notes from Jack_MCS on his current add-on package version which this contribution is based on, plus some of the "solution" posts here on this forum) there is apparently another add-on contribution called "Enable/Disable Categories" (what it does exactly I don't know - I've never used the contribution) which, when installed to your store site, apparently adds (among other things I would suppose) this column named "categories_status" to the table in your database. The person (Spoofy) who put this current "Google Sitemap SEO compatible with FWR etc." contribution together seems to have based it on the Jack_MCS version that assumes/requires a current installation of the "Enable/Disable Categories" contribution. (There appears to be another version Jack provides that assumes the "Enable/Disable Categories" contribution is not installed.) So, if you have the "Enable/Disiable Categories" contribution installed, you won't get the "Unknown column" error because the "Enable/Disable Categories" contribution would have created this column as part of its installation. But, if like me you don't have the "Enable/Disable Categories" contribution installed, you are left with two alternatives to resolve the problem: a) install the "Enable/Disable Categories" contribution - a rather drastic solution IMHO, as one assumes that if one had wanted/needed the contribution, one would have already done so; B) the actually rather quick and easy solution: edit the file /catalog/googlesitemap/sitemap.class.php and remove any and all references to column name categories_status from the SQL code. Unfortunately, I don't recall off hand how many places I needed to delete the categories_status column name, but I believe it was somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 to 5 edits I needed to make. Be sure when deleting the portion of SQL statement code in sitemap.class.php that refers to column name categories_status that what you leave behind still creates valid SQL statements. For example, if the code says "...where c.categories_status='1' and p.products_id = p2c.products_id and ....(etc.)", you want to end up with "...where p.products_id = p2c.products_id and ...." etc. Just be careful because there were a couple different SQL statement variations, so pay attention when deleting the c.categories_status portion of the code. And so one final clarification: pdcelec in post# 36 above was on the right track in offering a solution corresponding to my option B), but only hinted at the complete solution from the standpoint that a) he failed to mention that the code changes are to be made in the file /catatlog/googlesitemap.class.php, and B) failed to indicate that there is more than one place in the googlesitemap.class.php where similar changes need to be made. Also, his SQL statement used in the find/replace boxes is the fully rendered SQL statement as produced by the php code at run time, i.e. when you go to edit googlesitemap.class.php, the first portion of this statement in the program code consists of variable names and concatenation code, so search on "categories_status" rather than on his complete SQL statement or you may not find a match. So in conclusion, after I edited out all references to categories_status column in the SQL code in googlesitemap.class.php, I re-ran /googlesitemap/index.php, and everything worked like a charm! I'm running 2.3.1 on a Windows/IIS platform, with FWR Ultimate SEO URL 5 and Jack_MCS's Header Tags SEO contributions, and it all works together nicely now! No need to switch over to the "Alternate" option in the admin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmoll Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Also, sorry, I just went back and checked the facts behind some of my statements for my post above - I did mix up my remembrance of where I had read about the various versions for "Enable/Disable" - it was not Jack_MCS notes, it was actually in the history notes for this "Google XML Sitemap SEO compatible with FWR etc." contribution. A contributor named "alman" added a contribution to spoofy's original contribution to include support for the "Enable/Disable" contribution. This is probably what messed up a lot us, where we just dowloaded the most recent package, not realizing that it was expecting the "Enable/Disable" contribution to already be installed on your site. My solution explanations remain correct - I just wanted to clarify my mistake made while rambling on with parenthetical background info.....

steraw Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Thanks for the contribution! Took me a while to solve a problem with the permissions on the files. Very basic but thought I'd post just in case anyone else has similar problem. In the readme file it says "Set the file permissions on the sitemap... files to the same settings on the images directory." Mine were 777 for images so applied that and kept getting a permissions error. Searched forums, no answer. Gave up, then tried again but with permissions of 755 on folder and files and worked fine! Hope this is of help to someone at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

♥joli1811 Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 (edited) Hi Alex, Do not think you need to upgrade as you want to insert the sql statement in your oscommerce database I think you just forgot to choose the database in phpmyadmin?? Remember do a quick backup "always" before changing database. Regards Joli Edited March 25, 2013 by joli1811 Quote To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often.
