Sitemap

[SlammedDime]

Hi there, im having a small problem. Sitemap has been working fine but. The url in the XML is slightly diffrent to the normall one. Google also knows that:

Sitemap type Web
Submitted Mar 27, 2008
Last downloaded by Google Mar 27, 2008
Total URLs in Sitemap 132
Indexed URLs in Sitemap 0

In the XML the pages are listed like:

http://www.thepropertyforums.co.uk/forum/index.php?board=4.0

but google is indexing them like:

www.thepropertyforums.co.uk/forum/index.php?board=4

any ideas?

That's interesting indeed.  Everything looks good on your site, so I'm not quite sure why google would be indexing that way.

cru: Please see the bottom of the first post of this topic.  I've modified it to include instructions for those that have TP.

will you be able to have a look into it for me? will it be effecting anything?

[SlammedDime]

There's nothing wrong on your end from what I can tell.  It looks to be a google problem.  I'm not sure how much help it will be, but perhaps you can try contacting them.

[Eliana Tamerin]

I know it's possible to decide whether google indexes your sites as http://www.yourdomain.com or www.yourdomain.com or yourdomain.com. So you can set that in the Webmasters control panel.

Otherwise, http://www.thepropertyforums.co.uk/forum/index.php?board=4 works perfectly fine. Even http://www.thepropertyforums.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=4 would work just fine, the .x only comes into play when looking for an exact page.

Hi ;
do you thinkin adaptation for modification on smf version 2.0 beta 3 ?

[SlammedDime]

I won't be doing a 2.0 version until at least May when I get out of school.  As it is only Beta and shouldn't be used in a production environment, I don't see a need to rush on it.

Has anyone tried integrating sitemap with pretty urls, so that it generates propper links?
Regards

[SlammedDime]

It probably wouldn't be too difficult.  When I code up the 2.0 version, I'll look into it and implement it in the 1.1.4 version as well.

Alright - I have read every link I can find so a bit of help please.

Installed the Mod no problems - but I do not get the Sitemap link at the bottom.

Version 1.1.4
Template - Black 45
site - www.fourms.midatlanticxriders.com

I know the solution in in here but it was toooo much info in one thred to sort out.

[SlammedDime]

Any mod you install will only install on the SMF Core theme (default theme).  You will need to manually add the link to any other theme you have.

My recommendation is to use the SMF Package Parser (google search) and upload my mod to the parser (the one a few posts back that I attached), and make the theme changes it prescribes.

Please what url do I submit in google sitemap. My froum url is http://howudey.com and the Sitemap url is for XML is http://www.howudey.com/index.php?action=sitemap;xml.

Google does not accept the above Url, what do I do to resolve it.

[SlammedDime]

The above url is the correct one.  What does google say?

In the box you input the url, you should only be putting 'index.php?action=sitemap;xml', not the entire url.

I just installed SMF Sitemap on the DilberMC Theme and SMF 1.1.4  Everything seems to work and I edited the DilberMC so it shows the Sitemap link on the home page of the forums. I then thought I had better look at the error logs just in case something went wrong.  I have the following errors and am not sure how to address them... I am really new to PHP and to SMF. Can anyone help me?  Here are the errors:

Thanks in advance for your help and time,

You're missing the language strings.  If you have a Modifications.english.php in your Theme's language directory, you'll need to copy the language strings there as well.

[Miker2006]

I just copied the Modifications.english.php from the default theme directory and that seemed to have done the trick!  Thank you so much for the solution and the Mod!

I do have another question, please excuse my ignorance. Since my forum is in a subdirectory and your Mod gives my a sitemap for the forum, can I just edit or add the site map to include links from my main website? Or should 2 sitemaps be used?

Thanks again!!!
Mike

I think I spoke too soon, after copying the Modifications.english.php I made a post and am now getting the following:

Should I not have copied this file? My theme (DilberMC) I am using did not have a Modifications.english.php in it's language directory?

Just installed this mod and it's working, however, there appears to be a bug.

It's showing boards that are in my Staff area (even with me logged out) to anyone.

I'm using version 1.1.4 and the Default theme, English language.

[SlammedDime]

It definitely should not be doing that.  Link?

Ahh you're right. It's working fine. Sorry.
