Calendar Add-on causing error in sitemap

Our small community site uses the calendar feature quite a bit, so I included the calendar add-on to help get those pages indexed better. However, it is tossing an error into the sitemap itself.



Many thanks in advance for any ideas on correcting this.

vbseo sitemap doesn't ship with a calendar addon. Which mod are you using?

Also, don't trust ie to view the sitemap correctly. it's not good at rendering straight xml.

Look in your google.com/webmasters area to see if the sitemap is throwing any real errors.

With all due respect, the vbseo sitemap that I downloaded and installed from vb.org DOES have a calendar addon within the addon directory. Please excuse my ignorance if the vbseo mod is different from whatever else vbseo offers.

Again, with all due respect, google webmaster tools is what led me to investigate the errors in the sitemap.

I'm sorry, you're right. I mistakenly looked at version 2.2, not version 2.5.

Try this fix:


open the /vbseo_sitemap/addons/vbseo_sm_calendar.php file

around line 25 find

Code:

$url = 'calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=' . $event['eventid'] . '&day=' .

replace with:

Code:

$url = 'calendar.php?do=getinfo&e=' . $event['eventid'] . '&day=' .

Thanks for the assistance. That resolved the original issue but has now led to this issue: (This is the Firefox error display)



Apologies, I am not a programmer and this probably something minor.

You should also replace '&c=' with '&c='.

Thank you Brian and Oleg, the issues have been resolved and the addon functions properly and errors are now eliminated. Appreciate the assistance.

I just stumbled upon this thread and I wondered if there would be any more info about the calendar add-on, as it seems to be new since the latest release? (and isn't documented like the Downloads II and Photoplog Pro add-on)

Mainly, what are the benefits, how to install, etc. Also, what advantages it has with/compared with the current example ccr in the config_vbseo.php

Hello,

this is an add-on for vBEO Sitemap Generator though, not vBSEO product, so it doesn't change calendar URLs but just allows to include them in your sitemap. To activate add-on you should enter it in addons list in sitemap generator options.

If I'm not mistaken, these replacements should also be done in the 3.0 version of the vBSEO Sitemap.

Don't know why it took me so long to discover the calendar add-on. My flooring site uses the calendar extensively for industry training and events schedules. It's all great content, especially since I removed all the birthdays and holidays from that calendar.

Thanks, vBSEO team, for this great product.
