I tried to install Google Yahoo MSN Sitemaps and RSS V 1.2.0RC2

it looks ok and I see GYM SiteMaps & RSS in my phpBB Administration Panel but when I click on it - it gives me the following error:

What should I do??? step by step instructions requred

Code: Select all

phpBB : Critical Error

Could not query Google sitemap configuration information

DEBUG MODE

SQL Error : 1146 Table 'board.phpbb_ggs_config' doesn't exist

SELECT * FROM phpbb_ggs_config

Line : 116
File : admin_mx_ggsitemap.php

Once you have uploaded all files in the proper folders :

1) Upload root/ggs_style/*.* where rss.php and sitemap.php are installed.

2) CHMOD mx_ggsitemaps/gs_cache/ to 0777

3) Upload contrib/db_install.php to db_install.php

4) Connect yourself as admin and go to -http://www.yourdomain.com/phpbb_folder/db_install.php to install the sql part

5) delete db_install.php.

From the install file

You'll as well need to read the .htaccess part carefully

it worked -- I like you.

ok I installed Google Yahoo MSN Sitemaps and RSS V 1.2.0RC2 and it works in my Admin Panel

Where are sitemaps generated?
What's URL to them?
to submit to Google and Yahoo!

dear dcz --

can you let me know where sitemaps generated after Google Yahoo MSN Sitemaps and RSS V 1.2.0RC2 installation

They are located where you uploaded sitemap.php, rss.php and urllist.php.

Should be in your forum folder at first, the only URL to submit ot Google and yahoo, the united sitemap is :

Code: Select all

http://www.example.com/phpBB/sitemap.php (or sitemaps.xml with mod rewrite)

If you turn XSLt styling on, you'll be able to browse the siteamps from there.

Bots will crawl automaticaly all the sitemaps listed in the sitemapIndex.

Rss is the same, except you need to browse :

Code: Select all

http://www.example.com/phpBB/rss.php (or rss.xml with mod rewrite)

An interesting feed to find out more about the mod is the one listing all available channels :

Code: Select all

http://www.example.com/phpBB/rss.php?channels (or channels-rss.xml with mod rewrite)

As well you'll have some extra options for rss feeds, such as adding post digest in feeds, things like that, take you time to test and read acp features

Here, it's like : http://www.phpbb-seo.com/rss-m.xml.gz

Urllist is to be found :

Code: Select all

http://www.example.com/phpBB/urllist.php (or urllist.txt with mod rewrite)

++

are feeds and sitemaps supposed to give 404 error if I have not posted anything on message board yet

what could be my mistake if it's not the case

The fact you're not trying the good url

You need to load your domain url with the path to your sitemap.php file, and the rewritten links will only work when you'll have implemented the rewriterules as suggested in the install.
