Has anyone had a problem where some of the URLs in the sitemap have HTML characters? For example:
http://www.vinnyandjess.com/pictures/2007%2F200702-17-mardigras/image005.jpg.php
%2F is in place of the /
Any ideas?
I checked out sitemap generator written by mightyhitter. It's located at http://basri.my/plugins/zenphoto-google-sitemap; I downloaded the program and installed it. It worked ok, you can change the priority and frequency for each type of page. One problem though: It's conflicting with the recommended usage of robots.txt by Zenphoto. The install package of zenphoto has examples-robots.txt with the possible parms to put in .htaccess. In that, /zpcore is disallowed. mightyhitter puts the sitemap.php under /zpcore. So, SEs can't even access that directory, if one follow the recommendation from zenphoto for robots.txt file.
If you have used this hack from mightyhitter, please share your experience.
Sorry, just noticed this message after months. It won't conflicting because we are not making /zp-core/sitemap.php to public (robots). There is a rewrite in readme.txt file that you can refer how to add a single line in .htaccess. Now the url to the sitemap is your-zenphoto-root/sitemap.xml
