Site Map not being Generated

[CMS-TECH]

Hi,

We are experienceing an issue with a client's Actinicn 6 site. They're using 6.1.3.

In early July we took a snapshot file from them and installed it in our Actinic Developer environment. We have made some changes to Act_Primary and supplied the file back to the client to include in their site1 folder.

On our system in Actinic Developer the system generates the site map and all is OK. Howeer, on the client's system although the sitemap is uploaded to the site when a site refresh is preformed it does not contain the new act_primary.

Is there a setting that our client may have disabled to prevent the sitemap from being refreshed? Is there a procedure I can run through to ensure that it is enabled?

TIA for your help.

Kind regards,

Roland

Hi Roland,

Please make sure that your client has enabled 'Site Map' in his machine.
To do this, open Actinic, go to 'Design | Options | Sections | Site Map' and tick 'Include Site Map in Website'.

I hope this helps you.

Site Map not Being Generated (Solved)

Hi,

Thank you for your reply. The client did have generate site map ticked.

I managed to solve the problem by doing the following procedure:

Actinic Menu -> Design -> Options ->Sections -> Site Map (untick)
close down actinic
Open up actinic
Actinin Menu -> Web -> Refresh Website
Actinic Menu -> Design -> Options ->Sections -> Site Map (tick)
close down actinic
Open up actinic
Actinin Menu -> Web -> Refresh Website

I think this had the effect of re-setting the Sitemap Generation flag.

Kind Regards,

Roland

Hi guys,

talking about Sitemap, does anyone know how to rearrange the sitemap? It looks not "USER-FRIENDLY" in my website. how about the rest?

Compare This (http://www.hst.com.sg/acatalog/sitemap.html) with
(http://www.soccerpro.com/acatalog/sitemap.html). at least the 2nd one looks much more clearer. where to chg those?

Can I ask you to check your templates?

Go to 'Advanced | Template Manager' (if you are in the blue and white template navigator click 'Change View') and then click on the 'Other Pages' tab.

Click the 'Indent' button - it should contain the following:

<!-- SiteMapIndentBegin HTML begin -->
<!-- Insert HTML for the beginning of the start of a sitemap indent -->

<UL>

<!-- Insert HTML for the beginning of the start of a sitemap indent -->
<!-- SiteMapIndentBegin HTML end -->

Then click the 'End Indent' button. This should contain the following:

<!-- SiteMapIndentEnd HTML begin -->
<!-- Insert HTML for the beginning of the finish of a sitemap indent -->

</UL>

<!-- Insert HTML for the end of the finish of a sitemap indent -->
<!-- SiteMapIndentEnd HTML end -->

It's this second one where we once had a problem with it getting blanked out.I'm wondering if that's what you are experiencing.

Hi Chris,

apparently, its the other way round. The indent was blank and the end indent has some codings. what does it show then? and what can i do? =)

Um. How about using the code Chris showed you ?

[swee]

so i just copy paste what is in the indent folder to mine?

[cdicken]

Yes.

Copy the code from the first box in my post above into Act_SiteMapIndentBegin.html.

Thanks Cdicken its solved.

Btw, Can we change the structure of sitemap? because i dont think any user will find my sitemap useful since the scrollbar is super long. aany advice for me?

[cdicken]

aany advice for me?

Have fewer products?

Seriously though, there is no way to change the structure of the auto-generated site map. It is always going to be just one long list.
