Hi guys.

Just made our updated ZP site live (http://southwestphotography.com.au/) and submitted the sitemap to Google but I am getting a parse error.

I have tried both sitemap.php and also index.php?sitemap but both come up with the same error. Sitemap-extended is enabled.

Using 1.4 [6528] (Official Build)

I just updated to Zenphoto version 1.4 [6586] (Official Build) and the issue still exists.

GW

Is this the same error you see?

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in [edit]/public_html/zp-core/functions-basic.php on line 196

I don't know anything of the sitemap plugin. Acrylian made it. But perhaps it is not up to the task of handling your site.

yes that is probably it, BTW can you remove the site name ref

Cheers

Is there a way or can I make a suggestion that the sitemap be split if more than X records, so we can have sitemap1, 2, 3 etc

This way the execution times will be removed, which appears to be the main issue here.

GW

I have managed to split the sitemap-extended into two files (sitemap1 and sitemap2), one for album/images and one for news/pages. The album/images are still taking too long to create, so now I will try and split the albums and images... though a little more difficult as you have them in one combined function.

GW

OK now I have the albums separated, and so I have sitemap1 for albums, sitemap2 for news and pages and sitemap3 for images, however the images one is still timing out, I need to find a way to split this... any ideas?

Cheers

GW

First, update to the just released 1.4.0.1 version. There are some fixes to the sitemap in there, regarding validation. (the sitemap.php file is not used anymore).

About your error this might be an exif issue or or just too many images. How many images do you have on that site? Do you have the google extension enabled? If try what happens if you disable that.

For slitted sitemaps by type we would have to add/use separate calls like `?sitemap-new` or `?sitemap-images`. That should be possible. For suggestions like this please use the ticket system.

Hi Acylian, yes the latest is installed

27000 photos

I will create a new ticket now.

Cheers

GW

That's quite a lof of images. Thanks for the ticket. All further discussion there.
