Just want to say Thank You to Fernando for this mod and his excellent instructions.

Hi,

As far as this mod goes, I have it working on version 3.5.10. Not sure if this will help Brian or any others who have had trouble on this branch of x-cart, but this is my sitemap.php file.

Code:

<?php 



require "../top.inc.php";

require "../config.php";

require $xcart_dir."/include/categories.php"; 



$smarty->assign("main","sitemap"); 

$smarty->assign("location", $location);

$smarty->display("customer/home.tpl"); 



?>

I have this within my customer folder; I think everything else is the same.

However, it still has limitations; mainly as it only really displays the categories, it is not a true sitemap. Still doesn't have a page title, or work as part of the html catalog. Maybe someone can finish it off.

Otherwise I would suggest Firetank's Sitemap module as it is fully comprehensive and I reckon is excellent value for money. I have seen so called marketing companies charge бё1500 to guarantee top Google rankings and done little more than create a sitemap!

Thanks to everyone for usefull code, but I have problem with that, becouse in my eshop are nearly 2000 categories, so its not the smartest way becouse its doing quite big server load:( Probably it needs come cron static html page generating, but I dont know how how to do it in sitemap.php. Any tip is welcome:)

I already have it:) but the problem with your version is, that it is not working on my server with PHP 5.0.4:( I dont know why, but it worked with older php version. Probably some functions are not ok.

I am getting a curious message here: http://cedarbrooksauna.com/cart/sitemap.php

Page not found!
The requested page does not exist or you are not allowed to access it!

It set the code exactly as fernando displayed earlier in this thread... any clue what causes that to display instead of the sitemap itself?

Thanks moneysaver67, but I've added your code to the sitemap, but it still doesn't show a page title...
Maybe it's possible you show your sitemap.php?

Is this compatable with google site maps? I added this and it works great so a big thanks to Fernando, but google says its an unsupported format.

Is it this mod or did I mess something up someplace.

im getting the following error.

Warning: Smarty error: unable to read template resource: "customer/sitemap.tpl" in /home/brida3/public_html/Smarty-2.5.0/Smarty.class.php on line 1042

Any help would be great thanks

OK. I've installed this and it is working great but...

Since I've installed this and the 301 redirect post from the sticky I cannot log into my site as a customer. I add to the cart, I go to checkout and it asks me to login (even though it tells me my name on the home page) and then it just comes back to the main page.

Is the issue the site map or the 301 redirect?

Thanks

sorta found a fix for this with a bit of help on here

if u copy the contents of you sitemap.tpl then create a new staic page called sitemap and past the contents of the sitermap.tpl in there and click the parse smarty tags box and save all changes then when u create your html catalogue it will make a file called sitemap-sp-**.html for you ** being the static page number

hope this helps

I am having a problem with this mod.

When I installed it I had several top level categories with subcats and only one of the subcats had products. And then it worked great.

I just updated one of my other subcategories to now have products and I cannot get those to show up in the sitemap. It almost looks like the data is cached someplace and needs a refresh.

To see this go to www.patrickallmond.com

If you click on 'MP3' on the left hand side you will see that I have several subcategories.

But you click on sitemap you will see those don't show up in the site map.

Any help would be appreciated.

New and/or changed categories show up fine, but new added subcategories won't show.
But when a subcategory is renamed, it will be updated correctly in the sitemap...

Anybody had the same problem and found a way to fix this?

$allcategories broken in 4.1.2 ???? - Possible BUG?

I've been working with X-Cart for only one week now so I may be off base here, but I think I know why this mod is not working on the current version of X-Cart.

I've been hacking at the code a bit, and it appears that the $allcategories variable is not returning _ALL_ of the categories, just the root categories. I've also found that when you have cat=X as part of the URL (HTTP Get variable) and you replace X with a known category number, the $allcategories contains the root categories plus any subcategories of X. Now, I have never used any versions other than 4.1.2, but this does not seem to be the behavior that is to be expected. In the code that Fernando posted, it clearly appears that he is truly expecting a full dump of every category in the $allcategories variable. This is a bit of code I wrote to dump out all of the information in the $allcategories variable:

Code:

{foreach from=$allcategories item=mycat key=catid}

  {$catid} - 




  {foreach from=$mycat item=x key=y}

    ({$x} - {$y})




  {/foreach}

  




{/foreach}

On a slightly different topic, I noticed several ppl mention that this mod was resource hungry when used on sites with large numbers of categories. The reason for this is easy to understand by looking at Fernando's code... he is continually looping through the $allcategories var each time he sees a category with sub categories. In trying to figure out the above bug, and also improve the speed of this mod, I discovered the $subcategories variable. It's interesting because it only contains the categories of a specific parent category. If I change the URL to include the cat=X GET var, it gives me the sub cats in a nice short array. I figured I'd be clever and change $cat like so: {assign var="cat" value=X} (making X a valid category number) Unfortunately, this makes no difference. It appears that $subcategories is assigned only once, and can only be controlled when $cat is assigned in a HTTP GET. Does anyone know how to make a function that would return an array of subcategories for a specific parent category?

Re: Site map page

has anyone worked outhow to get this working on 4.1.2?

seems that $allcategories now only holds top level categories in it and not subcategories which is why it doesn't work.

Now if I remeber right fancy categories should get all the info needed, will have a look now and see if i can find the answer.

Also, your sitemap won't link to the HTML pages you've made. But the Advanced Site Map that you can buy does, and works great.

ok, i tried to make this change but then the file is not there. this is what is in my categories.tpl:

<FONT class="CategoriesList"><A href="/store/sitemap.php" class=VertMenuItems>{$lng.lbl_sitemap}</A></FONT>

i'm guessing i called something wrong? b/c here's what i get
