I have the same problem. It says it generates the xml file but then redirects me to my forum home page when I try going to the url. When I turn off the vbseo redirect to home page it says "Page not found".

EDIT: I figured it out. The files are located at: forums/vbseo_sitemap/data/

I am also wondering, would submitting the index.xml to google be a good thing to do or not? I mean, adding it in our google sitemaps user interface.

Does this require Ion Cube to be installed?

Same errors here, running PHP 5.0.4 :(


So, here's the information from the logfile:

I see that it has a list of forumids to exclude. I assume that it also looks at permissions and will automatically not include any forums that aren't open for viewing by Unregistered/Not Logged In users?

Thanks!

Actually, after looking at the sitemap file that was generated, it does include threads from forums that have permissions set. :(

Any way to add this so that we don't have to worry about keeping the excluded list of forumids up to date?

If the thread/forum isn't visible to guests, then there's really no reason to include it in the sitemap.

Well at least it works for you ;)

I had a look at the code and couldn't find a reason for the errors I keep getting :(

Also, I found that Google won't accept your sitemap if you have this vbSEO option set to Redirect To Home Page. You have to make it send a 404 error code.

i have these errors

I got errors, but then realised i hadn't chmodded the database.

Anyhow, excellent hack!
