Hi all,

My error log is being filled with

Code: [Select]

http://gamestickers.net/index.php?board=12.0&action=kitsitemap;xml
Apply Filter: Only show the errors with the same message
8: Undefined index: ID_TOPIC
Apply Filter: Only show the errors from this file File: /web/htdocs2/gamestickersnet/home/www/Sources/Subs-KitSitemap.php
Line: 80 or Line: 79
The line corresponds to:

Code: [Select]

while($row = $smcFunc['db_fetch_assoc']($query))
77: {
78: // fill topic array
==>79: $context['topics'][$row['ID_TOPIC']] = $row;
==>80: $context['topics'][$row['ID_TOPIC']]['href'] = $scripturl.'?topic='.$row['ID_TOPIC'].'.0';
81: }

Any advise please?


Thanks!!

Modification to export all URL's

In /Sources/Subs-KitSitemap.php Line 52 - 82 replace:

Code: [Select]

// list board topics
if ( !empty($board_info['id']) )
{
$start = (int) $_REQUEST['start'];
$context['topics'] = array();
if ( $xmlView )
{
$context['sub_template'] = 'kitsitemap_xml_board';
// maximum entries per sitemap
$context['topics_per_page'] = 50000;
$query= $smcFunc['db_query']('', "
SELECT
t.ID_TOPIC
FROM {db_prefix}messages AS m, {db_prefix}topics AS t
WHERE m.ID_BOARD = {int:id_board} AND m.ID_MSG = t.ID_FIRST_MSG
ORDER BY t.ID_LAST_MSG DESC
LIMIT {int:start}, {int:limit}",
array(
'id_board' => $board_info['id'],
'start' => $start,
'limit' => $context['topics_per_page']
)
);

while($row = $smcFunc['db_fetch_assoc']($query))
{
// fill topic array
$context['topics'][$row['ID_TOPIC']] = $row;
$context['topics'][$row['ID_TOPIC']]['href'] = $scripturl.'?topic='.$row['ID_TOPIC'].'.0';
}
}

with

Code: [Select]

// list board topics
if ( !empty($board_info['id']) )
{
$start = (int) $_REQUEST['start'];
$context['topics'] = array();
if ( $xmlView )
{
$context['sub_template'] = 'kitsitemap_xml_board';
// maximum entries per sitemap
$context['topics_per_page'] = 50000;
$query= $smcFunc['db_query']('', "
SELECT
t.ID_TOPIC, t.num_replies
FROM {db_prefix}messages AS m, {db_prefix}topics AS t
WHERE m.ID_BOARD = {int:id_board} AND m.ID_MSG = t.ID_FIRST_MSG
ORDER BY t.ID_LAST_MSG DESC
LIMIT {int:start}, {int:limit}",
array(
'id_board' => $board_info['id'],
'start' => $start,
'limit' => $context['topics_per_page']
)
);

$row2 = 0;
while($row = $smcFunc['db_fetch_assoc']($query))
{
// fill topic array
if (count($row2) == $context['topics_per_page']) break;
$context['topics'][$row2] = $row;
$context['topics'][$row2]['href'] = $scripturl.'?topic='.$row['ID_TOPIC'].'.0';
$row2++;
if (intval($row['num_replies'] / $modSettings['defaultMaxMessages']) > 1) {
$board_indexes = intval($row['num_replies'] / $modSettings['defaultMaxMessages']);
$topic_page = 1;
while ($topic_page <= $board_indexes)
{
$context['topics'][$row2] = $row;
$context['topics'][$row2]['href'] = $scripturl.'?topic='.$row['ID_TOPIC'].'.'.$topic_page * $modSettings['defaultMaxMessages'];
$topic_page++;
$row2++;
if (count($row2) == $context['topics_per_page']) break;
}
}
}
}


Sitemap will look like:

Google wont allow this sitemap

[kokett]

Which URL did you post to google?

/index.php?action=kitsitemap;xml

this works for me fine.

[swaggaderby]

Google wont allow this sitemap

so which will google accept then?

[njtweb]

Checking to see if this is still supported.

I have this installed on my site but I don't see an real benefit from it, specifically in Google search results. What is the objective of the mod? If there is no sitemap.xml to submit to Google webmaster tools, isn't the mod basically doing nothing but duplicating links that are already created?

Thank you, any assistance and/or instruction would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, this mod support large forums? I mean when a section from forum have 12000 posts for example.

[Andreso]

One question, if i hide the Sitemap button, the Sitemap will not be showed to Search engines? or only hides the button? please answer my doubth 

[Dwev]

I have absolutely nothing to do with the Mod, but I see a few questions to which I think I have the answer.

@ njtweb: use this links for the XML sitemap: URL-of-your-forum/index.php?action=kitsitemap;xml
You register your site with Google Webmaster Tools and enter this URL.

@ Julian F: as far as I can see the answer is yes.

@ Andreso: if you follow the instructions I wrote for njtweb above it will work.
