Bug in Sitemap XML generation

[ergensinnl]

Greetings!

It's not all bad news, I love the component, it's just that I found a bug (thanks to Google Webmaster tools).

Apparently there is a typo in the admin panel, instead of "monthly" it sais "montly", and this relates back to the XML generation, so Google stumbles over it:

Invalid value for code
This XML-Tag has an incalid value, please correct and re-submit the sitemap.
Parent tag: url
Tag: changefreq
Value: montly
Problem detected on: 6 jun. 2011

Might worth a fix?

Hi,
just noticed the same issue and have found a fix/ workaround.

Locate: /administrator/components/com_xmap/helpers/html/xmap.php
Change line 47

Code: Select all

$options[] = JHTML::_('select.option','montly','montly');

to

Code: Select all

$options[] = JHTML::_('select.option','monthly','monthly');

Check in backend that the frequency is set to monthly, now Google should be happy and it works for me.

Have fun

Thnx for the tip.

I had found the workaround myself too... But I can imagine that not everyone can do this him/herself.

The bug, after all, remains in the release. So this is more of a "cry" to the developers to fix it for those less into the PHP code.

I agree it needs to be fixed in the relase, but I think with the description most should be able to get it working
