Hi Bart,

Is your sitemap similar to the google example ? https://sites.google.com/site/qianballgreece/system/feeds/sitemap

Make sure that your Sitemap is in an acceptable format (for more details, see Creating a Sitemap). Then upload your Sitemap to your server, and resubmit it.

Thanks, Alex

Even though Google is telling this webmaster that the Sitemap file is bad, Google is actually eating (indexing) the contents of the file with no problem.

Hi Alex,

I used the standard xslt template so I don't know. I change the output to xml and the code I use is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp "&#x00A0;"> ]>
<xsl:stylesheet 
  version="1.0" 

  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"

<xsl:param name="currentPage"/>

<!-- update this variable on how deep your site map should be -->
<xsl:variable name="maxLevelForSitemap" select="4"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
<div id="sitemap"> 
<xsl:call-template name="drawNodes">

</xsl:template>

<xsl:template name="drawNodes">

<xsl:if test="umbraco.library:IsProtected($parent/@id, $parent/@path) = 0 or (umbraco.library:IsProtected($parent/@id, $parent/@path) = 1 and umbraco.library:IsLoggedOn() = 1)">
<ul id="sitemap"><xsl:for-each select="$parent/* [@isDoc and string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1' and @level &lt;= $maxLevelForSitemap]"> 
<li>  
<a href="{umbraco.library:NiceUrl(@id)}">
<xsl:value-of select="@nodeName"/></a>  
<xsl:if test="count(./* [@isDoc and string(umbracoNaviHide) != '1' and @level &lt;= $maxLevelForSitemap]) &gt; 0">   
<xsl:call-template name="drawNodes">

</xsl:call-template>  
</xsl:if> 
</li>
</xsl:for-each>
</ul>
</xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>

Bart, as I see in your code it's not XML ))

<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
    <xsl:for-each select="$currentPage/ancestor-or-self::root/*[@nodeType = '1079']">
        <xsl:call-template name="drawItem" />
    </xsl:for-each>
</urlset>

You need something like that

Hi Bart,

I think something like could help you.

Hi Dennis, 

I put your code in a xslt which I loaded in a page trough a macro but i still get html as output.

Any suggestions?

thnx

Bart

Hi Bart,

Maybe you could try to change:

method="html"/>

To:

method="xml" omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

And see if it does any difference

/Dennis

Hi Dennis,

Still no succes! The output is rendered as html an not as xml when I open the page in chrome.

<%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/umbraco/masterpages/default.master" AutoEventWireup="true" %>

<asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolderDefault" runat="server">


    <umbraco:Macro Alias="XMLSitemap" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>


</asp:Content>
