[Released] google sitemap for generating xml sitemap

[i2Paq]

Hi Everyone,

Below is an updated google sitemap generator for use with google webmasters tool to generate category, manufacturer, information, category and product sitemap for google indexer. Indeed the same sitemap can be used for Bing and other search engines.

We used it while developing our online store here and found that it was having an error with timestamps. So we updated it to include timestamps.

This if for general community consumption. If you have any questions let me know.

Kind regards,
Genglob Administrator

@madany - you can use it on google webmaster tools so that google can read your site easier.

Its work great, but there is one missing. In line 172 & 124 is:

Code: Select all

    echo '<loc>' . $catalog_url .'product/product&amp;product_id='. $product['product_id'] . '</loc>' . "\n";

shoudl be:

Code: Select all

    echo '<loc>' . $catalog_url .'index.php?route=product/product&amp;product_id='. $product['product_id'] . '</loc>' . "\n";

upload to your stores route then go to google webmaster tools and upload your new site map in there i.e. www.yourdomain.com/g_sitemap.php

Hi,

I just plop it into the root dir, correct?

I notice in firefox it outputs the raw xml code, not parsed by the browser. this is correct?

I'm using it with ocv 1.3.2 and seems to work fine. have you had any issues with older versions?

thanks for creating this sitemap generator!

regards,

takayuki
