Re: asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)
In testing with it now (BST, GMT+1), submitted to google OK, no problems whatsoever. Excellent, thank you!

Re: asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)
Spencer, just wanted to say “thanks”. It works like a champ.
For anyone else just installing this plug-in, just remember to create a file called “sitemap.xml.gz” in your root directory and chmod it to 666 before using.

Re: asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)
I’m having problem with the invalid date:
Sitemap Errors:
Invalid date (Line 27)
I’m using TXP 4.0.2 / time zone GMT +02:00. Anyone else still having this problem?

Re: asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)
Are you using the latest version? I did make some fixes and have not had a validation error in months now.
My dates look like this:
<lastmod>2005-11-09T13:14:53+01:00</lastmod>
and are valid. Please post the exact offending lines here (and take into account that the one sitting on your site, may not be the same as the one google downloaded – so check when there is little happening).

Re: asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)
Sencer, I’m using that latest version (1. September) unless there is a newer one I don’t know about.
I’m not sure what exactly you mean by ‘post exact offending lines here’. I’m guessing you want to see the line from sitemap.xml.gz file? If so here it is, line number 27:
<lastmod>2005-11-12T09:16:22-08:00</lastmod>
If you mean something else please let me know.
Thank you!

Re: asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)
I think that the problem is something with timezones and future date as discussed in this thread on Google Groups
Unfortunately I don’t have skills to edit the plugin. Any help would be appreciated. Is it ok to remove the time completely?

Sencer… Excellent work. Installed and verified with Google in about 5 minutes.

Re: asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)
Is there any way to prevent the plugin from covering sections that aren’t set to be “included in site search”? I have a number of sections that aren’t linked to from any page on my site, and I use them for testing various things before implementing changes site-wide. I certainly don’t want Google to be indexing those pages.
EDIT: Hmm… and why am I getting a blank sitemap (0 bytes)? The permissions are set to 777, but it just remains blank.

Re: asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)
Hi Sencer
Thx for a great plugin. Tested it and i worked. One strange thing occured though – Zems image replacement plug stopped working for me (zem_ir ). Have you any idea why? Or has someone else had the same problem? I tested on two of my sites and exactly the same thing happens.

Re: asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)
Hi Fabian!
I stumbled up the same problem and was able to solve it by updating the zem_ir plugin.
There seems to be a problem with PHP in safe_mod and writing to files with img-functions.
The solution is to touch the file just before you write it.
Look through the zem_ir plugin for this function:
ImagePNG
just BEFORE that one, touch the file:
touch($cache_filename);
thus:
// save copy of image for cache
ImagePNG($image,$cache_filename) ;
will turn into:
// save copy of image for cache
touch($cache_filename);
ImagePNG($image,$cache_filename) ;
Since this is a hack, and not tested much, I suggest that mr zem take a look at this, and perhaps implement the code in a new updated version.
If anyone test this little hack and finds any problems, please write about it.
Take care and happy TXP-ing!

Re: asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)
I’m getting some denied URLs that all say “URL not under Sitemap path”. The three examples they show me are all paths to individual articles. It doesn’t make too much sense because the sitemap is in the root directory. Anyone else having a similar problem?

Re: asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)
This plugin is awesome! Thanks so much for putting it together!… I do have a question for you guys though… If you turned on the “ping” google options – what methods are you using to track if it works… Google is picking up my sitemap anyway, I just wanted see if it was working correctly. I tried to “watch the headers” on my side, but then realized that the headers are going to be on the http stream that is making the request, from the server not from my computer… I don’t see anything in my logs and was wondering if anybody had a creative solution. Thanks in advance!

Same question here. I’m using a search-excluded section to generate a sidebar that has links to elsewhere on the site. Including the posts from that section would basically be duplication, which I’m afraid might get me docked by Google. I could add some redirects in .htaccess for traffic going to those posts, but I’d just as soon save the extra trouble.
