Showpost effectively doesn't exist for vb4. if you're using vb4, you can ignore that.

Do you have PUBLIC blog entries that have tags?

I've noticed my ASK pings have failed recently as well.
It seems to be an issue on their end.
It just times out.

Fantastic, I'd been waiting for this.

Upgraded to vB4 last night and installed this today, flawless and generated the first new sitemap with no problems.

Many thanks.

If hold a valid vB license, upgrade to vBSEO 3.5.2, Free or purchase .?

im running vb4.1 and its getting sql error when i run the generator

[SECTION START] tags [9,600.3Kb mem used] [467s (+467s)]
Database error
The Forums database has encountered a problem.

Should there be a link to the sitemap in the footer of the forum?

No, it's not a "human readable" sitemap.


Google will find it just fine if you set up your webmaster account and have the sitemap submit correctly.

I get this when I try to run it

Hi,

what's the difference between "run generator" from the sitemap reports and the cron job task? Some days ago the cron job stopped working properly, it only does 2 complete sitemap files, starts another one and stops. But if I manually start the process with the "run generator" link all the sitemaps are generated correctly. Is there a priority difference between the two? If so how do I change the cron job priority?

Thanks.

Question here: When i try to "Run Generator" for the first time, i'm getting tons of error, all looking something like this:
Warning: fopen(D:\Hosting\3077032\html\forum\vbseo_sitemap/data/progress.dat) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in D:\Hosting\3077032\html\forum\vbseo_sitemap\vbseo_ sitemap_functions.php on line 1458

Any ideas?

PHP doesn't have write permissions on the sitemap folder.

should I erase old sitemap files and switch the file names to the new ones on the webmaster tools panel (google)?

Thanks!

edit -

wow, something is wrong! I'm using vB 4.0.4 and here is the first new file and the urls in it are wrong! (doesn't exists at all)

by the way, according to the log, there are less showthread urls then I had with the old sitemap generator.

had -

Date 2011-02-05 02:00
Processing time 195.24 s
Total URLs 633,246 (+467)
Forumdisplay URLs 18,137 (+19)
Showthread URLs 609,265 (+445)

now -

Processing time 345.07 s
Total URLs 617,310 (+2)
Forumdisplay URLs 18,146 (-)
Showthread URLs 609,617

I've tried running it from the url and then terminated it and run it from Shell.

by the way, in the setting I've configured it to "stamp" showthread urls Change Frequency to "daily" and as you can see the urls are "stamped" as yearly.

Hello,

A potential security issue has been identified in the sitemap 3.0 codebase. We have released sitemap 3.0 PL1 as patch. All members running any version of the vbseo sitemap are urged to upgrade to the patched version immediately.

Please Download and install the latest version available here:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=253516

If you have any questions, please respond in the thread.

Thank you,
the vBSEO Team

Thanks for the update :)

Thank you

thx for the update

After upgrading all of my sites reporting this error when going to the reports page :

Warning: file([path]/vbseo_sitemap/data/1297062075log) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/vbseo_sitemap/index.php on line 218

Lots of errors for the log files such as 1297062075log. Seems to be a missing dot before the log?

ditto :(

Warning: implode() [function.implode]: Invalid arguments passed in [path]/vbseo_sitemap/index.php on line 218

Warning: file([path]/vbseo_sitemap/data/1296986749log) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/vbseo_sitemap/index.php on line 218

A fixed version will be posted shortly. Please stand by.

Same problem here. No "." between log and log number...

Please re-download. The version attached has been corrected.

If you downloaded before this time stamp, please re-download.

thank you
works now :up:

Looks good, thanks!

just did the upgrade to 3.0 PL1 and got this error message:
Warning: file([path]/vbseo_sitemap/data/122log) [function.file]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in [path]/vbseo_sitemap/index.php on line 218

Edit:
fixed
Thanks ;)

Sorry fixed the error :)

Thanks.

I have this problem, my host switched servers new servers new ip .

the other day and i have had this since i guess, Not sure if they didn't add a Apache handler for the file type or something else . here is a pic of whats installed on my Apache, my public directory and www is set to 755 can you see a problem with my Apache ?

I've installed as noted. I've edited and added a password.

When I go to http://www.mysite.com/forums/vbseo_sitemap/ I get a "The requested URL /forums/vbseo_sitemap/ was not found on this server"

I'm not exactly sure where I went wrong, but the vBSEO Search Engine XML Sitemap is working on my ACP. I just can't log in.

Thanks

Also- I'm not exactly sure if I had a .htaccess file previously. I've never uploaded one so I'm assuming that I don't. If I did however, could this be the reason I'm getting this error?

Thanks!!

How do you do this?

What files need to be uploaded for the patch, just what is in the upload file folder?

Thank you for new update

Why is my runtime so high? You can also see it has stopped running daily, I would assume this is because it's taking 10 days to complete, this can't be normal, surely? I'm on 3.8.5. Thanks.

Updated (allow overwrite, yes)

Installed & seemingly working

4.1.1

Just do not know why it always says 0 blog tags.

When you say I uploaded as is, what do you mean? I edited it to make it read like this: RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ http://www.mysite.com/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]


I've Chmod 777 the data folder to my root

I also moved my vb folder from my public_html to the root directory.

I have it set to VBSEO installed: No

When I moved my VB folder to the root directory my site would no longer load. So I just moved it back and now it works fine. Could you clarify what you mean by that?

Also, what do you mean that I'm showing it installed in the forum?

Thanks!!!

Thanks for somebody at vBSEO for not replying! :mad:

wouldnt expect to much in a free mod when they sell a premium mod

add: wow the mod in here that adds to a previous post isn't working

This update places the site map

http://www.sociallyuncensored.com/forums/sitemap_index.xml.gz

And not vbseo_sitemap/data/sitemap_index.xml.gz
