SitemapXML v.2

Andrew,
Thank you for this plugin.
I am an experienced zenner but I too had trouble with the instructions and would like to humbly offer assistance.
I have never submitted a plugin or a update to a plugin, but I believe two things will make the instructions easier:

1. Instead of a TXT file (which does not have formatting and is therefore hard to read) I could create a simple HTML file for you with the steps clearly laid out and easy to read.
2. Regarding the -install-sitemapxml.php file, perhaps instead of a blank screen there should be an alert, something like "Sitemap XML is now installed, please return to your main Admin page."

If you would like my help with an HTML readme, let me know and I will do it ASAP.

Upload versin 3.9.1. Changes:
v 3.7.0 07.07.2016 11:25 - Add configuration parameter for categories paging

Hi,

dremhmrk2:

If you would like my help with an HTML readme, let me know and I will do it ASAP.
Of course. If you want to participate and believe that your work will be useful for the rest - I'll be only too happy.
Before writing new documentation, please refer to the latest version 3.9.1.

P.S. I have several modules that I could and would like to share, but I can not find the time to write documentation. Maybe you are become my co-author? :)

I have several modules that I could and would like to share
Please share them on github...see if the community does some polishing!

thanks
Steve

I thought about it. Think it is wrong to put the modules without description.

Think it is wrong to put the modules without description.
As long as it is made clear the code is in development and not production-ready, a short functional description will do.
Those who can figure out how to use it without being spoon-fed with the details are those best-qualified to polish it.
Since your code quality is up with the best on this site, I'm keen to see what else you have been doing!

HI there

I have just converted a site to https
when the sitemap is generated it still generated http sitemap entries!
Can someone advise how this can be modified so the entries are https?
here is an example https://www.saving-light-bulbs.co.uk/sitemap/sitemapproducts.xml

Regards

Paul

Have you regenerated your site maps since converting your store to https?
Which version of XML sitemapo are you using?
How did you convert your store to https?

I have this on a few sites with https and it is generating htts urls in the sitemap files.

I have just upgraded to v 3.9.1
I converted the store by using just specifying https in the config files and the following code in .htaccess
RewriteCond %{HTTP:X-Forwarded-Proto} !https
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} off
RewriteRule ^ https://%{HTTP_HOST}%{REQUEST_URI} [L,R=301]

I have a wordpress blog on the site and this is now generating https urls in the sitemap but the zencart ones are http as per the link https://www.saving-light-bulbs.co.uk...approducts.xml

Have you any ideas and a link showing https urls?

What version of Zen Cart. I see an http reference in your source code:

and mix-content warnings, although this is likely unrelated to this issue, but should be resolved either way.

View source code https://www.saving-light-bulbs.co.uk/
All links to products/categories and other non-secret page are 'http://', none 'https://'.
Correct store configuration (config file). It must be like this:

  // HTTP_SERVER is your Main webserver: eg-http://www.your_domain.com
  // HTTPS_SERVER is your Secure webserver: eg-https://www.your_domain.com
  define('HTTP_SERVER', 'https://www.saving-light-bulbs.co.uk/');
  define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.saving-light-bulbs.co.uk/');

  // Use secure webserver for checkout procedure?
  define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true');

Yes that's the answer thankyou.
For some reason Firezilla had not overwritten so I moved the file locally deleted the original and uploaded

Hi. I have installed 3.9.1 on 1.5.4. I am missing the text in the admin configuration side? I have checked and double checked. Note that this is an upgrade.

Also I have CHMOD the root file to 777, the sitemap directory to 777 and the files inside it minus the htaccess file to 777.

I have over 30k products. This is the issues I am getting.

Thank you for your time.

I am missing the text in the admin configuration sideThat symptom is always that the necessary language file isn't installed.
For the Admin, it should have been put into the /your-admin-foldername/includes/languages/english/ directory.

Yes. It is there. Thank you.

I haven't studied the installer for this plugin, but perhaps the language file was missing when the plugin's "install" was done, and so instead of putting the actual defined values into the configuration menu names it put in the uppercase constant names instead? To fix that one could run the plugin's uninstall sql script (if it has one) to remove all its related settings, and then re-run its installer to set it up again.

Hi Guys,

Can anyone tell why Sitemap XML returns "page not found" when I tell it to Force rebuild all sitemap*.xml files! and Pinging Search Engine?
This is how the link appears when the page not found shows up: (http://www.mydomain/sitemap-xml&rebuild=yes&ping=yes&)

The XML files are updated, Google accepted the submit of the sitemap.xml file but I'm not sure if this page not found should be displayed instead of a confirmation message... Also, how do I know if the ping has been executed if no confirmation message is prompted?

Zen Cart V1.5.1,
Sitemap v3.6 26.04.2016 10:33:09

Thank you!

Thanks. I think the upgrade instructions are a little off. I went ahead and uninstalled the SQL statements and reapplied them and the language values are there.

I still can't figure out why the XML are not completing and I am ending up with an internal server error pop up screen.
