I think I just found a bug, which has been introduced with version 1.5.2 (1.5 is doing as it should).

I'm using a page with bakery and this is the only output of the 1.5.2 sitemap file:

Code:

<urlset>
−<url>
<loc>http://www.vitagil.at/pages/bakery/jxl-4.php</loc>
<lastmod>2010-03-05</lastmod>
<changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
<priority>0.5</priority>
</url>

</loc>

<changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
<priority>0.5</priority>
</url>
</urlset>

The output of the 1.5 file on AMASP you can find at http://www.vitagil.at/google_sitemap.php

Hi,

I'm using the 1.5.2 version.  I do exactly as instructed - unzip the file and upload it the root of my website.  I then submit the file to Google through their Webmaster tools.  But I keep getting the following message.  Am I missing a part of the process out or something?:-

Paths don't match
We've detected that you submitted your Sitemap using a URL path that includes the www prefix (for instance, http://www.example.com/sitemap.xml). However, the URLs listed inside your Sitemap don't use the www prefix (for instance, http://example.com/myfile.htm).

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Craig

I figure it out.  When submitting the URL for my website into Google, I added www when I should have just left it off.

i've done some mod on mysql command that wasn't optimals.

and if you had no menulinks, there was an error

[MurgtalNet]

If a problem when renamed admin-dir.

replace the Line 69

Code:

require_once(WB_PATH."/admin/interface/version.php");

with

Code:

require_once(ADMIN_PATH."/interface/version.php");

greetings

[Xagone]

I download this module and when i goto install it via the backend i get the following error

Invalid WebsiteBaker installation file. Please check the *.zip format

I am trying to get this installed on a fresh install of wb

[Xagone]

it's not a module, it's a file, you uncompress the google_sitemap.php file within the zip and place it in your root right beside config.php
then this file need to be added at your robots.txt like that (exemple of an robots.txt)

Sitemap: http://www.yourdomain.com/google_sitemap.php

or you submit your site with the sitemap in some sites like :
Google Webmaster Tools : https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/
Bing Tools : http://www.bing.com/webmaster/
Yahoo SiteExplorer : https://siteexplorer.search.yahoo.com/

the bakery version included in the google sitemap generator is unknown, but more than 1 year old... i'll see what I can do, but i never used bakery, the bakery part was done by the original maker of google_sitemap

[friedemann]

Hi,

it is possible to implementing topics in the google_sitemap.php to display single topics with their urls, keywords etc., not only the general view?
And how is it possible - for a non-Coder?
Please, if somebody can do it - I think a lot of people would be grateful, not only me...

Greetings, Friedemann

[Xagone]

For a non-coder it's not possible, right now somebody have to hard code any new module into the google sitemap.

Version 1.6.0

• Added Topics (v0.6) support
• Tested Bakery 1.5.6 - No issues, works fine for me.

Enjoy it.
