Google sitemaps

[Drahus]

Ive found a workaround if any one interested in importing their xml in to their normal site sitemap.xml...

Hi,
is it better to use this mod for the gallery with an another sitemap generator for the further parts of my site,
or
to use GSiteCrawler for the whole site including CPG?

I think, it would be much better and comfortable to use only GSiteCrawler, but this program generates sitemap of about 70 000 sites (it takes hours and hours of crowling and is still not finished...) from my not very big website ( http://www.dc-foto.com/gallery/ ). 

Thank you for your opinions and advice,

Drahus

Have I got something configred incorrectly here Mr Nibbler Sir? When I try and generate a sitemap all I get is the following on a gallery with over 4000 images.

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

I'd advise using this since it 'knows' Coppermine and won't create the duplicate links that your screenshot shows. Also, this script doesn't do any crawling as the links are generated automatically.

Try changing

Code:

ISNULL(alb_password)

to

Code:

(ISNULL(alb_password) OR alb_password = '')

Cheers Nibbler, worked a treat.

I missed that on page 5

Hi,

Making it work on galleries with no category.

I don't think this has been covered, I've just scanned through all the earlier replies and didn't see anything.

Anyway, after reading the much earlier post about changing " all $cid by cat=0 ", I had a go at this (not PHP savvy, myself) as I was having this problem.

I found it wasn't quite that simple, and initially got a few errors, so needed to make different changes in different lines, but the idea is basically OK and I got it working and my sitemaps are fine.

Here is my updated file (simple version - as mentioned before the original file names seem to be intersposed):

Here is my updated file (simple version - as mentioned before the original file names seem to be intersposed):

For some reason the generated xml file is throwing a xml parsing error (or syntax) in Firefox:
"element not found, line:1, col:1". By the way your file is based on the simple version.

EDIT: After looking at the content of my gallery folder, I noticed that your script creates by default a file called "can_cm_sitemapxml" - the file name must be between '' (line 14). So there is no error message (the error message came because the manually created can_cm_sitemap.xml file was emtpy).

The fixed version of your file is attached as zipped to this message.

It's working fine for me in firefox, so not being an expert, only a dabbler, I can't help you with that.

Oh, and I did say I was using the simple version!

Sorry, papukaija

Yes, I forgot to take out my own sitemap filename before uploading!

Thanks for correcting.
