Sitemap

shortchange · January 07, 2009, 12:10:58 PM

Sitemap appears to work fine for me.

When I submit to google: http://gamergala.com/index.php?action=sitemap

I get error:

Code Select

Unsupported file format 
Your Sitemap does not appear to be in a supported format. Please ensure it meets our Sitemap guidelines and resubmit.

Thank you for your help.

You need to submit the XML sitemap to google, not the HTML version. add ;xml to the end of that url.

Doh!

I've tried to install this MOD on my 2.0 B4 SMF forum, it failed the index.template.php, I did the changes that I saw in a post on page 29 of this topic, no signals of the link on the footer of the site, I also followed the instructions and added the code to a htaccess file I have in the root of my site, because I have my forum in a directory, after it, the url http://www.forexhill.com/sitemap pointed me to the home page of my site.

I uninstalled the MOD and looks like a portion of the code of my index.template.php disappeared as I don't see that code that begins with <td> .............

Now I installed again and still no link, I will post here my actual index.template.php to see if someone with knowledge about this, can help me to replace the code that disapeared and put this MOD to work.

Code Select

<?php
// Version: 2.0 Beta 4; index

/*	This template is, perhaps, the most important template in the theme. It
	contains the main template layer that displays the header and footer of
	the forum, namely with main_above and main_below. It also contains the
	menu sub template, which appropriately displays the menu; the init sub
	template, which is there to set the theme up; (init can be missing.) and
	the linktree sub template, which sorts out the link tree.

	The init sub template should load any data and set any hardcoded options.

	The main_above sub template is what is shown above the main content, and
	should contain anything that should be shown up there.

	The main_below sub template, conversely, is shown after the main content.
	It should probably contain the copyright statement and some other things.

	The linktree sub template should display the link tree, using the data
	in the $context['linktree'] variable.

	The menu sub template should display all the relevant buttons the user
	wants and or needs.

	For more information on the templating system, please see the site at:
	http://www.simplemachines.org/

In the above block of code is where you'll want to add the sitemap link.

Yes, it is the default template without some part of the code that your MOD deleted when I uninstalled it, some part of the code disappeared with the uninstall, that is because I am asking help, I have no idea which part of the code it deleted, also, you said anything about the other part of the problem, even with the htaccess, the link doesn't work.

Can you take a look in my site if you see the origin of the problem, please?

The mod didn't delete anything from that section... it looks just like the 'stock' code from the 2.0B4 template...

If you want to add a link to the sitemap, do so after the copyright <li>

<li class="copywrite">', theme_copyright(), '</li>
<li><a href="', $scripturl, '">', $txt['sitemap'], '</a></li>

As for the .htaccess, i'll need to see what you used to try the redirect.

Dr Web · January 15, 2009, 02:17:41 PM

Sorry, I don'tr understand what you mean with the "stock" code from the 2.0B4 template, can you explain please?

I will try to add the link.

I used exactly the code of the instructions of the MOD here => http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?action=parse

Just a question, I inserted the code in the htaccess in my root directory, or is on the root directory of the forum?

Ok, now for some reason I can access the file at http://www.forexhill.com/sitemap.xml , but says this "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below.", it doesn't work as on my other site that has SMF 1.1.5 here => http://forums.drpennystock.com/sitemap/

Thanks for your help.

I mean the code from your index.template.php in the footer section does not differ from what you would download in a fresh copy of 2.0 Beta 4

Well there is one of your problems. This mod is not fully compatible with 2.0 Beta 4, as designated by the Version list on the mod's download page. If you try to follow the index.template.php instructions for your template, you will mess it up. Use what I posted above to add the sitemap link.

Correct, in the root directory of your SITE, not SMF. As for the 'no style information' message, that is perfectly normal and means it's working as it should.

As for your other site... I see the sitemap just fine.

Dr Web · January 15, 2009, 04:00:13 PM

Ok, now is just a small detail maybe, because I added the code aboveand I see the Sitemap link, but, it points to http://www.forexhill.com/forum/index.php instead of http://www.forexhill.com/sitemap.xml , any idea?

Many thanks.

SlammedDime · January 15, 2009, 04:03:29 PM

sorry, I wasn't thinking... it should be:

<li><a href="', $scripturl, '?action=sitemap">', $txt['sitemap'], '</a></li>

Dr Web · January 15, 2009, 04:16:29 PM

No need to apologize, you was a great help for me, many many thanks for the fast responses, you were faster than Schumacher

Cheers

hi SlammedDime
3 or 4 month ago a build a new site for a friend with smf and installed this mod
and submit it to Google
every time i checked the site status in Google webmaster tools it shows that the sitemap last download X hours ago and sitemap status is OK but none of your sitemap pages are included in Google result
i checked lots of things (preferred domain setting in Google(with WWW or without), smf permissions ,...)
but nothing
2 or 3 days ago i checked the Google's sitemap syntax and noticed that
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
but in mod we have:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84">
and when i correct this after some hours now Google started indexing sitemap URLs (15 URLs indexed)

I'm not completely sure if this is the reason but maybe it should be changed in your mod

SlammedDime · January 18, 2009, 12:39:12 PM

I've already changed that for the next release, although it shouldn't make a difference.... thanks!

Hard to believe, but it DOES make a difference. I changed the "sitemap.template.php" file so it would output "0.9" as per google's example, google's spiders were all over my site within one day.

Jiveturkey · January 20, 2009, 01:41:58 PM

I tried to install this mod on 1.1.7 and I got this error.

The package you are trying to download or install is either corrupt or not compatible with this version of SMF.

Smoky "Rider" Blue · January 21, 2009, 07:35:19 AM

hey SlammedDime, is this good for the rc??

SlammedDime · January 21, 2009, 07:55:50 AM

It'll still work on RC1, it just won't install onto the default template until I update it. I'm going to redo the template page before I release a new version.

Smoky "Rider" Blue · January 21, 2009, 08:02:34 AM

would be nice "if" colors, or ability besides themers, to change the looks of the sitemap.. maybe??

Smoky "Rider" Blue · January 21, 2009, 08:16:59 AM

mmmmm Slammeddime.. it failed the index.template.php as the copywrite info is no longer there..

any tips for now??
