XMap and sh404sef

[cblunt]

Hi forum,

Just getting to grips with Joomla 1.5 and Virtuemart 1.1.3 - fantastic technology.

However I'm having issues getting a sitemap running, I've installed XMap and the virtuemart extension, I think I have it configured correctly - told to display products and published the virtuemart plugin.

When I view the sitemap it shows my two menues but on the one that contains the category browser it only shows HOME, not categorys and no products.

I have implemented the latest version of sh404sef as well. This is working fine but I was  wodering if it's causing trouble with XMap.

I think I have the lastest versions of XMap and the plugin.

I know others have this configuration working - any help much appreciated.

Knd regards

OK - I solved it.

I hadn't published the Virtuemart component on a menu, I was relying on the Show the Product Categories? option on my published Virtuemart module!  XMap must struggle with this.  As not to spoil the look of my site, I didn't publish the menu containing the Virtuemart component.  XMap still seems to be happy with this.

Thanks to anyone who took a look, and I hope my error helps someone else.

Kind regards

Chris

In my case I had to add the VM Component to a menu, however you don't have to publish it. XMap still sees it and displays all your categories and products.

Another good tip it to login as admin and view your sitemap.html, you can then deselect pages from your sitemap.

It may help if you can post a link to your site.

Hope this helps.

Hi fellow sufferers,

I have the same problem.
I use Xmap 1.2.7 with the VM plugin 1.1.3.
Although I have published vm in a menu it does not work.
Has someone already solved the problem?
