I get Unix epoch time for the following KB sitemap. When you go to this sitemap the KB articles have the correct <lastmod> data and time. I'm assuming Google won't like this time, which never changes!

Code: Select all

<sitemap>
<loc>http://www.handymanxchange.com/sitemap-kbcat.xml</loc>
<lastmod>1970-01-01T00:00:00+00:00</lastmod>
</sitemap>

Anyone have any fix?

If you need to check it out just click my webpage link and then append sitemaps.xml

Yes I see.

Together with Kb you should be very cautious about security.

You know you need cat and articles to have comments on for this to work.

So looking at the file :

open :

Code: Select all

mx_ggsitemaps/includes/index_kb.php

Find :

Code: Select all

         echo "\t\t" . '<lastmod>' .  gmdate('Y-m-d\TH:i:s'.'+00:00', $last_ever ) . '</lastmod>' . "\n";

Replace with :

Code: Select all

         echo "\t\t" . '<lastmod>' .  gmdate('Y-m-d\TH:i:s'.'+00:00', $last_kb_comment ) . '</lastmod>' . "\n";

and the last comment date for all kb cat should be now used as last mod date, as it should

What do you mean by this? KB together with what sitemaps or phpbb?

I looked for the code to change in sitemap_kb.php, and it wasn't there. I found it in index_kb.php, changed it, and it seemed to work!

Thanks again!

The mod itself please read this and this.

Here are some more general advises about security.

Adding .htaccess with

Code: Select all

<Limit GET POST PUT>
Order Allow,Deny
Deny from All
</Limit>

in it in every includes/ db/ and other module's includes folders for those running Apache is a wise advise as well.

As well Options -Indexes can be cool in the root's .htaccess.

For those lucky enough to run a single ip :

Code: Select all

Satisfy any
Order Deny,Allow
Allow from xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Deny from all

where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is your ip (can be a list)
