Generate Sitemap

[mitoste]

Hello, I can not understand how I can generate a sitemap for my directory. Plagin not find any instructions on how to do it. Does anyone know how? Today I downloaded the latest version of eSindiCat.

Thanks

just goto xml sitemap generator your sitemap will be generated automatically with different type of sitemap like xml, URLLIST, HTML , etc

where is teh sitemap generator ?

Hello everyone!
If you use the latest (2.3.05) version of the script you have no need to install the plugin. Sitemap generator already integrated into it. Just go to Admin Panel → Quick Jump to → Sitemap

You do know that Google still doesn't like the submission if it's over 50,000 entries. we have 90,000 entries and the way esyndicate splits them up it returns an error still in Google. We have to manually split each one into two and submit separately. Any suggestions on how to get around this? maybe change a setting in the code that limits to 45,000 somewhere?

Hello azoom,

What version of eSydiCat do you use? Do you use plugin or 2.3.05 sitemap generator script?

I got a question about this, where is the Sitemap located once it's generated??? I've always made a Google Sitemap.xml online but this app is certainly better.

And separate to that, how do most of you authenticate your site with Yahoo via Site Explorer, via meta tag? I tried the download/upload of the file but their bot couldn't locate it...

Thanks.

Hello rhymeister,

sitemap files locate at tmp/sitemaps/

try to add following rule to your htaccess file:


RewriteRule ^verification_file_name.htm$ verification_file_name.htm [QSA,L]

Hi
Not sure if this has been answered or not but i am having problems submitting my sitemap.xml to google for 2 of my directories google shows states

"General HTTP error: HTTP 403 error (Forbidden)
We encountered an error while trying to access your Sitemap. Please ensure your Sitemap follows our guidelines and can be accessed at the location you provided and then resubmit."

Can anyone advise

Martin

xml sitemap generator allows sitemap for 500 link, no more... is there any free tools where we can create sitemap for 2000+ links...

if anyone know then please share it.

thanks :)

Hello virtueinfo11,

If you use eSndiCat 2.3.05 just go to admin Panel and click "Sitemap" in the top right dropdown menu. It creates sitemap and urllist for ALL listings, categories and pages on your site.

[Sergey L.]

Hello virtueinfo11,

eSyndiCat sitemap generator allows make sitemap for ALL your site. ANY QUANTITY of listings and other pages.
if you have problem with it, send me your FTP/cPanel and eSyndiCat Admin Panel credentials to PM or create a ticket in our helpdesk and I'll check what is wrong.

Hello rhymeister,

sitemap files locate at tmp/sitemaps/

try to add following rule to your htaccess file:


RewriteRule ^verification_file_name.htm$ verification_file_name.htm [QSA,L]


Sergey,
When I looked in the folders at tmp/sitemaps/google or yahoo there's no files located there. Is that the way it should be?

Lastly, where is that "htaccess file" located?

Many thanks!

Hello rhymeister,

Did you created it from Admin Panel - Sitemaps (top right dropdown menu)?


Lastly, where is that "htaccess file" located?


On the FTP, home directory of the site.

[rhymeister]

Yes, I've been doing that at least once a week to make sure it's updated but don't see anything in the folders!

Thanks.

Okay, I checked just now and in Google folder I have "sitemap.xml" file and in Yahoo "urllist.txt", guess that's correct?

Thanks!

[rhymeister]

On the Yahoo verification thing....I changed the .htaccess file to the following and uploaded but neither worked:

RewriteRule ^y_key_18e225d65325a198.html$ y_key_18e225d65325a198.html [QSA,L]

and also:
RewriteRule ^41ef423ad7b564d2$ 41ef423ad7b564d2 [QSA,L]

Thanks!

It should work. Could you please send me your FTP credentials to PM or create a support ticket in our HELPDESK.

Is the a maximum amount in accepting the entries? http://www.imagicon.info/cat/5-38/1.gif

[Sergey L.]

Hello SirOwen,
No, there is no limits. If you have more then 40 000 entries, the script splits them to sitemap[1,2,3...n].xml files and creates one sitemap_index.xml file accordingly Google sitemap documentation.
Not so long time ago I have successfully tested it on directory with more then 3 000 000 entries.

How do I create a sitemap 2.4.2?

[Sergey L.]

Hello to All!

Here is the solution to fix Sitemap for 2.4.2 version:

[open your includes/classes/admin/esynGYSMap.php and find this code: ]


function init ()
{
esynUtil::mkdir($this->path_to_file."yahoo");
esynUtil::mkdir($this->path_to_file."google");
}


[And replace it with this: ]



function init ()
{
global $esynUtil;
$esynUtil->mkdir($this->path_to_file."yahoo");
$esynUtil->mkdir($this->path_to_file."google");
}
