Xmap sitemap as sitemap.xml is not working for joomla 2.5

[hmirs]

I tried the solution described at http://joomla.vargas.co.cr/en/documentation/34-xmap-2/how-to/108-xmap-sitemap-as-sitemapxml and it is working only for joomla 1.5 but not for joomla 2.5.

Please help !

it's working on this site using 2.5 and Xmap 3.0.2:

http://joomla.vargas.co.cr/en/sitemap.xml
http://joomla.vargas.co.cr/es/sitemap.xml

and using this on the .htaccess

Code: Select all

# English sitemap
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/en/sitemap.xml
RewriteRule .* /en/index.php?option=com_xmap&id=1&view=xml
# Spanish sitemap
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/es/sitemap.xml
RewriteRule .* /es/index.php?option=com_xmap&id=2&view=xml

I received a 500 error

500
View not found [name, type, prefix]: xml, xml, xmapView

And do you receive the same error when you see the sitemap using the non-sef url? the one that starts with index.php?option...

The original link to xmap is working. What is not working is this solution from .htaccess.
http://hmirs.info/sitemap.xml
http://hmirs.info/index.php?option=com_xmap&id=1&view=xml

[guilleva]

can you post the section of your .htaccess about the sitemap?


BTW, the place we put it in the .htaccess matters, make sure there are not other rules before it that are affecting this rule. Also, please try adding [L] at the end, like this:

Code: Select all

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/sitemap.xml
RewriteRule .* /index.php?option=com_xmap&id=1&view=xml [L]

What do you mean. Do you whant to post all of my .htaccess here ?

I am stuck. I am not a expert in .htaccess and maybe i do something wrong. I try to delete one by one every line from .htaccess but nothing.

[guilleva]

I didn't mean to post ALL your .htaccess but only the lines related with the xmap (two lines I guess).

Did you try with the lines I suggested you on my previous post?

[hmirs]

I put what you suggested ... copy/paste.

I sent to you PM with all my .htaccess.

Thanks again !

Hi thanks for sending the .htaccess, please try moving the lines related to Xmap before the line that reads:

Code: Select all
