ipb seo 1.1 prob

[FSL]

i am unable to generate sitemap

any one using ipseo? tell me how you generate sitemap?

 

[Grinder]

Better use the latest version: ipb seo 1.3 and make sure you chmod your sitemap.xml in your root to 777

 

[FSL]

fuck me!! i am using 1.3 (i wrote 1.1 by mistake), but still i am unable to create sitemap, chmod is 777.

either the sitemap is not created or else if it is created then only 3 urls are inside it :S

Are you 100% sure that mod you're trying to use is compatible with the version of IPB you're using?

 

[FSL]

yeah... it is.

 

[NewEraCracker]

is the file chown'ed to your account and are you using IPB 3.1.4 (or higher)?

oh and by the way. it generates the sitemaps automatically.

BTW how do u know the sitemap is not generated

Look into cache folder and u will find 3 files

sitemap_core.xml
sitemap_topics.xml
sitemap_forum.xml

Download them and extract and see if u find any topics inside

U will get to know they are been updated regularly

wait for next auto generation or start it manually by scheduled tasks & check If it`s working.

It seems like chmod wasnt 777 when IP Seo tried to generate sitemap.

Is your sitemap.xml looking like this?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
<sitemap>
<loc>http://www.YourSite/index.php?app=ipseo&amp;module=sitemap&amp;sitemap=sitemap_forums.xml.gz</loc>
<lastmod>2011-04-07T05:40:57+00:00</lastmod>
</sitemap>

<lastmod>2011-04-07T05:40:57+00:00</lastmod>
</sitemap>
</sitemapindex>

If it does, you do not have to worry. If you will look closely in your cache folder you will see that contains the xml files that your sitemap is referring to.

sitemap_forums.xml.gz
sitemap_topics.xml.gz
sitemap_core.xml.gz

 

[FSL]

yeah i just found it out... Thanks

 

[FSL]

i got it right on my first site,
on my other site the sitemap is not generating, i only get one file in cache folder

any idea?

 

[FSL]

here are the settings:
[slide]http://screensnapr.com/e/18sxWx.png[/slide]

tried this too:
[slide]http://screensnapr.com/e/DUXobf.png[/slide]

but didn't worked..

and i have different admincp folder name on that site, can that be the reason?

I just have one question... I know they are being updated because I followed your advice. In the cache they are in .rar format. Are they supposed to be?
