Is this a SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZING Plugin?

yes kxx4, that's the idea

Please, con someone test the plugin and tell me if the last section ( other entity URLs ) is workin fine?

- What values appear in the checkboxes? ( in my installation appear my custom entities like feedback requests )

- Does thouse values remain checked after save?

- Does the sitemap http...../auto_sitemap/other  is generated? 

- Is it empty or populated with selected entities URLs?

In resume. Is last section of the settings page working?

Except last part everythingis working with me.. It save my website now googleis indexing it properly. thanks

thanks ghumanz

still thinking about the ping feature, it isn't so trivial

I get the error below on the http://yoursite/sitemap.xml page when i try to use this, and google shows an error also in the webmaster tools:

Object not found!

The requested URL was not found on this server. If you entered the URL manually please check your spelling and try again.

If you think this is a server error, please contact the webmaster.

rohonupe99 have you replaced "yoursite" with the url of your own site? 

let me know if that was the problem

I'm trying to see the sitemap, who created this plugins on google/webmaster.

I tried to perform test prior to the sitemap generated by these plugins, but reported error entry by google. Following the attachment of the test that I took from http://google/webmasters/tools

Is there a solution for this issue?, sorry if my poor english, I use google translate to translate this

Is there a solution for this issue, sorry if my english is bad

can you post your site url?

I have  deactivated these plugins, due the error. Just now i'am using a static sitemap from sitemap.org. if I turn it again, what do I change from the plugins .   Thank you for your attention

My Elgg site: http://net.suryatekno.com

maybe the problem is with your site url. its a subdomain. 

but not enouth info to help you. if you activate the plugin again lem me know

I get empty site map... I flushed the cache & run the upgrade nothing happened....

It's Working now.... you need to put the lines in .htaccess & then preview.. in installation instruction you could have mentioned that... But good plugin.. Thanks for the plugin.. :)

Love the idea! But where does the preview show up? I cant find it anywhere.....

knussear, there is no preview. just go to http://yoursite/sitemap.xml

Only the old one is there.

Added HT access files BEFORE previewing and now it looks to be working. I think the instrucitons are out of order. Thanks for the plugin!

Hello, Thanks to the_yke for this useful plugin.

When I submit the sitemap.xml to Google, the sitemap test fails with an error that "This is an HTML file". I wonder if the stylesheet declaration in the second line causes this? And as a separate question, where is the physical location of sitemap.xml file?

Best.

isoguci:
don't wonder don't guess ;-P if google says it is html file - it most likely is html file ! i.e. the data google is receiving is html ;-) are you using a subdomain ? physical location ? just browse thru your site's public_html folder/ subdirectories and you'll find it !

İşöğüçı. there is no phisical file. sitemap.xml is genereate "by the fly" on each request".

about the html problem. you can try to comment the stylesheet import line:

- in mod/auto_sitemap/views/default/auto_sitemap/sitemaps_org_0_9/sitemapindex.xml

@the_yke I was wondering why I could not find it:-) I have removed the stylesheet information. When I view it, browser even mentions that "no style info associated with this XML could be found". Yet, Google still complains "Sitemap is HTML". It looks like this (also answering DhrupDeScoop's question: my test site is subdomain of a "main site"):

<sitemapindex xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9   http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/siteindex.xsd">

<sitemap>

    <loc>http://myTestSite.MainSite.com/auto_sitemap/custom</loc></sitemap>

<sitemap>

    <loc>http://myTestSite.MainSite.com/auto_sitemap/user</loc>

</sitemap>

<sitemap>

     <loc>http://myTestSite.MainSite.com/auto_sitemap/group</loc>

</sitemap>

<sitemap>

<loc>http://myTestSite.MainSite.com/auto_sitemap/event</loc>

</sitemap>

</sitemapindex>

Best Regards.

maybe, the subdomain is the reason. I'll check it as soon as posible. no solution for the moment. apologies

Hi the_yke, I am getting the same error also for the sitemap.xml of the main site. So it is not a subdomain issue. I have tested both with and without the stylesheet declaration. The same result. A bit puzzled... Best Regards.

Thanks to the_yke for this useful plugin!!!
