Google Sitemap Problem

[Martin_NZ]

There seems to be a problem with sitemap generation module. I am using stock standard prestashop 1.5.2.0 and google sitemap version 1.9.

 

The issue is although I have seo urls enabled they are not appearing in the sitemap.xml file.. If i use the "Update sitemap file" button from within the module I get output like this..

 

(please note i have deliberately removed a t from the http as it was the only way I could get the urls to display properly in the forum post... it does appear in the actual sitemap file...)

 

<url>

<loc>

htp://nzstore.biz/index.php?id_product=8&controller=product

Note in the above extract that the image url uses a seo friendly but the product url does not.

 

 

However... if I run the "cron job" by calling the webpage url listed in the module. (i have removed the actual token value)

I now get a sitemap index file at sitemap.xml and the actual sitemap at sitemap-1.xml which is perfectly fine but there is a new problem with the urls.

 

 

I now get output like the following extract..

 

<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9" xmlns:image="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1">

<url>

<loc>http://nzstore.biz/</loc>

Note that NOW the product url DOES use a friendly url format BUT the image url has dropped the http:// from the image url resulting in google webmaster tools showing "invalid url" errors.

 

Seems that either way I update the sitemap using the module there is an issue with the urls.

 

Does anyone else encounter this.

 

thank you in advance for any assistance.

 

Kind Regards

Martin
