Sorry Leandro I didn't!!!
It' strange cos I've xmap perfectly workin on other different sites.
I think the prob could be a third part extension I use but I'm not so sure of course.
Do u use other extensions on your site? If yes which?
If u got some news please reply to this!
Good luck

Hello thank you for replying. Im am from Argentina, i guess yes my name is from europe since my parents are from portugal and spain.

REgarding the xmap, i did not find a solution, i wrote to mr, vargas but i didn not get any reply yet...
I even offered money for help but still nothing...
I am still on the look for a solution for this problem or another good extension that i can use...
i have this extension working fine in another site... but it doesnt want to work in this one

i did created a httaccess forwarding so you can see my site map here http://www.co-production.net/sitemap.xml

but still google is showing "invalid xml tags" when i submit the sitemap in google webmaster tools...

what did you do? did you find another extension?

thank you
Leandro

Im also having this issue on some sites. Im still looking into it, one possibility is sef components interfering, Ive seen this happen in past versions of xmap, try turning sef components off for xmap.

Ive had problems like this in the past with older joomla and sh404sef versions, for xmap on joomla 1.5 there was a sh404sef plugin for xmap but nothing like that seems to exist yet for joomla 1.7+ and newer versions of xmap.

Sadly there seems little or no concern about supporting xmap on these forums. There currently isnt much alternative either, there are a couple of components you can use to manually build static sitemaps, and good though they are they can put a heavy load on your site/server when generating and require very lengthy timeout setings if you have a big site.

On further investigation it seems Im wrong this time, this error Ive tracked on one site relates to Jomsocial, either Jomsocial itself or the jomsocial plugin Ive got for sh404sef, found this in the xml :

<b>Warning</b>: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in <b>/path/to/plugins/xmap/com_community/com_community.php</b> on line <b>597</b><br />

[Mindriot]

Well I talked to jomsocial support and they seem to be of the opinion its down to the JS_XMAP plugin author LatitudWEB

I posted about it here :

http://joomlaextensions.latitudweb.com/forum/11-installation-a-configuration/1183-re-xml-errors-in-sitemap-being-reported-by-google.html#1185

If Im lucky someone might actually bother to respond.

[Leandro]

ok guys thank you for your reply's , now i went to the forum

http://joomlaextensions.latitudweb.com/forum/11-installation-a-configuration/1183-re-xml-errors-in-sitemap-being-reported-by-google.html#1185

and saw someone managed to solve this issue... I didnt try it yet, but did you guys tried it?

please advise, thank you!

Ive had mixed results but it worked on some sites.

If the authors of js_xmap would get their thumb out of their ass and treat their support forum with some respect none of us would be experiencing this problem.
