I have an sh404sef plugin that worked for v1 but not v2 ... I figure the xmap plugin would not work from v1 as well.

Would be nice to have v2 sh404sef and v2 xmap plugins

Martin,

In the dialog options I did set "Show K2 Items" to "Always", but it's still not showing. The menu it should be showing is a K2 Itemlist /Category, but unfortunately, it's not. Could there be anything I'm doing wrong?

Martin Herbst said:Umit,
please open the options dialog and set "Show K2 Items" to "Always". Then save the settings and try again.

Martin

Umit,

I tried to reproduce it on with my website but there everything works fine. Do you have installed the latest XMAP version or maybe an older one? You can also try to set the option "Follow subcategories" to "Yes".

I've got xmap v1.2.2 and k2 plugin v0.6

I've set follow sub categories to yes, show k2 items to always and published the plugin. Yet the K2 items aren't showing on my sitemap.

Thank you a lot.
Everything is working fine.
Joomla 1.5.14
K2 v2.1
sh404sef 1.0.20beta
K2 Plugin 0.6

I seem to be getting a good sml sitemap with K2 items, but the ping feature is not working. It appears that the ping feature does not recognize any items, and does not recognize any new updated items. For example, pinging all items results in 0 items being added to the queue.

Jeff,

do you only have this problem with K2 items or also with other items. I have checked the XML sitemap of my web site and the entries for the K2 items look similar to other entries in the sitemap. So there should not be any difference in the behaviour (I suppose).
BTW: How did you find out that no item was added to the queue. Maybe I can try it with my own sitemap and see what happens.

Hi Martin, thank you for your response--I haven't been able to test per your suggestion but will.

On the Structure page, if I highlight all items and choose "Ping All Items", it shows:

Added to queue: 0 Items

On a non-K2 site with SEF, when I do this on the Structure page, I get an identified number of items 'added to the Queue' when I do this (even with no updated items).

I'll do some troubleshooting tonight--it may be that my SEF stopped working all together, since the sitemap seems correctly updated. thanks

Hi Jeff,

thanks for the information. I have published a new version of the plugin with some smaller corrections. You can download from here: www.mherbst.de/en/software/downloads/category/1-k2.html

I have the same problem as Umit...

Joomla! 1.5.14

I am producing a sitemap in xml and html but no k2 links are showing up at all....

my k2 plg settings are as follows:

follow subcats: YES
show k2 items: ALWAYS
priorty: 0.5
freq: DAILY

any help to get it working would be bloody fantastic!

cheers

Matthew

Matthew,

I assume that the problem is caused by Joomsef. I will install Joomsef in my test environment and then try to reproduce the problem and to find a solution.

Umit are you also using Joomsef or any other sef plugin?

Matthew,

I now installed Joomsef 3.3.5 but without the K2 plugin for Joomsef (unfortunately this plugin is not free). With the default settings of JoomSEF the sitemap looks fine.
Can you try to disable to JoomSEF K2 plugin and test whether the sitemap then contains the K2 items? Or can you send me your settings of JoomSEF?

hi my friends!

You can produce XML sitemap with the following address;

index.php?option=com_sefservicemap&task=xmlmap

You can produce a custom redirect to this address and post the address to google.

I have the latest version of Sef SM 2, K2, Sh404Sef and xmapK2Plug ver.0.65

I tried to install xmap_k2_0.66.zip and got this..


Warning: JInstaller::require_once(/home2/adultmg/public_html/libraries/joomla/installer/adapters/xmap_ext.php) [jinstaller.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home2/adultmg/public_html/libraries/joomla/installer/installer.php on line 216

I have my menus set up for three main categories - News, Views, Reviews. Under those are several subcategories.

With that setup, the K2 plugin for XMAP returns no individual K2 items. In order to get items, I have to create sub-category menu listings for News/Industry, Views/Opinion, et cetera.

I have the subcategories set to "Yes" in the plug-in, but that didn't make a difference.

It might be that since there are no items directly under the main categories that the plug-in fails to retrieve the sub-category items. While I have a "News" category, there are no items assigned to just "News" - they all fall into sub-categories.

Hello Travis,

I have tried to reproduce the problem but with the option "Follow subcategories" set to "yes" it works in my test environment.

This is what I did:
I have created a top level category "Main1" and two sub categories "Main1\Child1" and "Main1\Child2". Then I added one item to the first subcategory and another one to the second subcategory. Then I added a new menu item of type "K2 Item Listings/Categories". This menu points to category "Main1" and was named "Test K2 Bug".
In the sitemap I get the following output:
Test K2 Bug
...Child1
......Item for Child 1
...Child2
......Item for Child 2

So it seems to work correctly. At least for this K2 menu type. How did you configure the menu item that points to your main categories?

Could someone take a look at my sitemap and tell me what is going on here. I'm a bit new at using xmap so I need a little guidance.

It appears to me as if I have two sets of urls going to the same content and I'm sure that's not good.

Thanks

Hi,

this happens because you have a menu item for each artists and they are also grouped into the K2 category "artists". If have have menu items for all of your K2 items then you won't need the K2 plugin for XMAP at all. Another solution would be to set the option "Follow subcategories" in the K" XMAP plugin to "no".

thanks for the help Martin.

I do have K2 Follow Subcats set to NO. But I still have dupes. hmmm..

I have another site where I use K2. In some sub cats I have menus to items (like artists), and other sub cats I don't have menus to items, just menu to cat (news). What would you do in this case?

Thanks again for the help!
