Re: asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)
No, as I have written in the post just above yours this is due to a change in the code following rev403 (that is RC4, RC5 etc.):
rev.403 changed the “hu” constant. Therefore it is currently not advised to use this plugin with rev403 or newer. The change is very little, and I will update the plugin shortly…
So if you did that change manually – which is not hard – you can keep using it. Don’t worry you haven’t done anything wrong.

Re: asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)
Ahhh…ok. Thanks for the reply. It seems to be working fine now so I’ll leave it alone.
Thanks for the plug-in, it’s made life easier for me.

Re: asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)
I’m using RC5.
between the “loc” the urls have an extra “/” after the site url.
For example: “http://www.example.com//section/ID/article-name”

Re: asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)
Yup. The extra / is what we’re talking about. Just change the code as I mentioned above and it will fix this.

Re: asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)
Why my “Sitemap Status” returns “Invalid date”?
Here is my sitemap.

Re: asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)
I use the default settings too.
Section Change Frequency: daily
Article Change Frequency (Default): weekly
Article Change Frequency (if last modified date of article older than 30 days): yearly
Google told me that Sitemap Errors: Invalid date (Line 16), and it is <code><lastmod>2005-09-01T01:07:39+08:00</lastmod></code>.

Re: asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)
I updated the download above with very minor changes (added schema for validation, removed double slash, corrected url for sections). I haven’t yet tested it, but it’s probably still an improvement on the older download.
@playpiggy: that date looks valid to me. Maybe the date itself was wrong (in the future?), I don’t really have the time to look at this, if anybody has an idea, let me know.

Re: asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)
Hi sencer,
Dates in my site map look like this <code><lastmod>2005-05-05T01:21:05-07:00</lastmod></code>
Dates as required from <a href=“https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/docs/en/protocol.html#faq_specifying_time”>google</a> look like this
2004-09-22T14:12:14+00:00.
the visible difference is that we have a dash
and they have a plus sign.
Admitedly the link above from w3.org (also provided by google in the link that I have in this post) has the format that you authored…
It’s a long shot but what if the – is replaced with a +

Re: asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)
My guess (without looking) is that it’s adding the global var $timeoffset from your prefs, which will be a negative value if you are in timezones west of UTC, resulting in a minus-sign. Best bet would be to modify the plugin to not change the time based on your timeoffset and just always serve up as UTC.

Re: asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)
It looks like google doesn’t support the format like <code>2005-09-01T01:07:39+08:00</code>.
It should be <code>2005-09-01T01:07:39</code> or <code>2005-09-01T01:07:39+00:00</code>.
