Duplicate Products don't show in site map

[rookers]

Hi - I have just noticed that duplicate products do not show in the site map- we just get an "empty" category and the products are not listed. They do show further down the map where the "master" product is. Is this a bug, does anyone know how to make them be included. The tick is in the box and all products have their own pages.

eg all these "Favourite" sections at the top have duplicate products within them:

You can show duplicate products on the site map, but they are not enabled by default. Go to the Settings menu > Duplicates Fields Configuration > tick both boxes for "Include In SiteMap (Product Page)" and "Site Map Product Link (SiteMapProductLink)" then click "OK" and they should appear.

Hi thanks for this - it is working but I have found that I have to provide a unique page name (eg. page123.html) for each duplicate product otherwise the site upload stalls on each page moaning that the page name is not unique.

Ok so I do that, but of course if I click Reset Duplicates the page name is reset back and the upload stalls again, and I risk supplying a different pagename when I fix it, which mucks up google.

I didn't think I had this issue before.

Do I have another setting incorrect - I'm sure all this used to take care of itself.

I had not checked the latest version. I wouldn't recommend changing file names as you would create duplicate pages. With a duplicate enabled on the site map the software upload warns the page "has already been generated for the product". The duplicate should go to the same product page file name.

Many thanks - looks like a bug to me. I've been using duplicate products for years and never had an issue.
