    Hi

    I am trying this in 9.7 and am getting the following error:

    Fatal error: Unknown function: clear_cache() in /home/delhirea/public_html/delhirealestate/modules/xml_sitemaps/xml_sitemaps_install.php on line 5

    I guess they removed or renamed that function. That was useful only when you enable/re enable the module. So you should be fine without it. Maybe just delete everything in the cache/ folder after you enable the module.

    Hey there, great tools, have one question though: I installed and activated the module but when I looked at the sitemap http://www.ebenta.com/module.php?module=xml_sit..., i found out that the date shown was invalid. I am getting c on it. What is wrong with the installation? Is this by default the settings? How can I correct it to show the right date format (sample: 2005-02-21T18:00:15+00:00)? Any help is appreciated.

    Here is the url of my sitemap: http://www.ebenta.com/module.php?module=xml_sit...

    Thanks.

    The problem is the php version that you use. Most likely you have php 4.x.

    The module uses the date function with the "c" format, which was added in php 5 .


    So either switch to php 5 or modify the module, and replace date("c" with something like date("Y-m-dTH:i:s" ...


    Switching to php 5 is recommended since the php development team will drop support for php 4 soon

    Looks great! I ran into a couple of problems:
    1. It looks like it's already been figured out: PHP5 is required
    2. xml_sitemaps_main.php:Line 88 should change UNIX_TIMESTAMPT to UNIX_TIMESTAMP
    3. xml_sitemaps_install.php:Line 22 should change ^sitemap-([0-9]+).xml to ^sitemap-([a-zA-Z0-9]+).xml
    4. Categories aren't being escaped to their safe names. I have some categories with ampersands (&) that don't display when following the sitemap link
    5. The site's URLMethod configuration is being ignored. I'm using URLMethod 1 (non-clean URLS), but the sitemap generated uses clean URLs

    It may be a problem with your php configuration options. Maybe you have magic_quotes_gpc enabled and the data may get double escaped...

    It would help if you could echo that sql before the error so that we have the whole sql query too look at and debug.

    Make sure mod_rewrite in .htacces or virtual hosts configuration works first. If you managed to have pligg friendly urls work then this should work too.
    Look into the module's configuration it explains clearely what you have to put into .htaccess to have a nice looking sitemap.
    The final sitemap is actually a sitemap index ( this is the one that ou'll be sending to the SEs ) and it should be http://www.gevaldigg.com/sitemapindex.xml
    Good luck.
