Google Sitemap v2.7

[grynmoors]

Well, it is *probably* due to the error in my xml tag. I just took it out and am resubmitting to google....the only other problem after that is the www part (I hope).

If you dont give up you wont fail.

If this doesn't pan out I'll find the original sitemap posted for 2.6 in the forums (hopefully it didn't get deleted for being old) and change the reference to the database to reflect the changes in 2.7 since that old one always worked for me in the past (for 2.6) and see what the difference is between that one and yours.

Here it is:

Post a link to your sitemap.php and ill have a look at it

I have a question, in the original for 2.6 it has this:

echo "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1'?>";
echo "<urlset xmlns='http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9' xmlns:video='http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-video/1.0'>";

Would the reference to the fact that this is for videos be of any importance?

I will try this :)

Thanks for keeping this updated!!

Oh good! I couldn't get carefree's code to work with 2.7 so I took RAMMSTEINS code, which looks like this and it works for me in 2.7:

<?php
header("content-type:text/xml;charset=utf-8");

require 'include/config.php';
$url = VSHARE_URL;

echo "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1'?>";
echo "<urlset xmlns='http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9' xmlns:video='http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-video/1.0'>";

# channels
$sql = "SELECT channel_id, channel_name FROM `channels`
                ORDER BY `channel_sort_order` ASC";
$res = mysql_query($sql,$conn)
or die( "Error: " . mysql_error() );
while ($info = mysql_fetch_row($res)) {
srand ((double) microtime( )*1000000);
$random_number = rand(6,7);
$SefUrl=strtolower(preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9]+/","_", $info[1]));

echo "<url><loc>$url/channel/".$info[0]."/".$info[1]."/</loc>";
echo "<changefreq>monthly</changefreq>";
echo "<priority>0.$random_number</priority>";
echo "</url>";
}

# videos
$sql = "SELECT video_id, video_title, video_add_date FROM `videos` WHERE
           `video_active`='1' AND
           `video_approve`='1' AND
           `video_type`='public'
            ORDER BY `video_id` DESC";
$res = mysql_query($sql,$conn)
or die( "Error: " . mysql_error() );
while ($info = mysql_fetch_row($res)) {
srand ((double) microtime( )*1000000);
$random_number = rand(4,6);
$SefUrl=strtolower(preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9]+/","-", $info[1]));

echo "<url><loc>$url/view/".$info[0]."/".$SefUrl."/</loc>";
echo "<lastmod>".$info[2]."</lastmod><changefreq>monthly</changefreq>";
echo "<priority>0.$random_number</priority>";
echo "</url>";
}

# tags
$sql = "SELECT tag FROM `tags` WHERE
           `active`='1' AND
           `tag_count` > 0
            ORDER BY `tag_count` DESC";

$res = mysql_query($sql,$conn)
or die( "Error: " . mysql_error() );
while ($info = mysql_fetch_row($res)) {
srand ((double) microtime( )*1000000);
$random_number = rand(1,4);
$SefUrl=strtolower(preg_replace("/[^a-zA-Z0-9]+/","_", $info[1]));

echo "<url><loc>$url/tag/".$info[0]."/</loc>";
echo "<changefreq>monthly</changefreq>";
echo "<priority>0.$random_number</priority>";
echo "</url>";
}

mysql_close($conn);

echo "</urlset>";
?>

The only thing I had to do to my site was remove the ampersand (&) from my channel titles in vShare which caused the same problem as it did with 2.6. I'm weeding thru this to see what I did last time to fix it, but for now I just took that out of my channel titles in vShare admin panel.

Yours is doing the same thing that mine was doing, it's creating a "list" of all the videos on the site in one long string without a break, antd it's not actually linking them. Try RAMMSTEINS code.

changed the code to RAMMSTEINS code works great :)
