Help with sitemap_xml

Sigal

Hi,

I am not sure what should I do with the sitemap_xml view or layout files?

If I try to open it in the browser on my local machine localhost/clarenssa/sitemap I get this error:
XML Parsing Error: XML declaration not well-formed
Location: http://localhost/clarenssa/sitemap_xml.php
Line Number 1, Column 37:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"; ?><urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
------------------------------------^

What should I actually do with these files?

Thanks

If you view the source of the page, what does it actually output do you know?

The sitemap_xml.php file is there if you want to dynamically create your sitemap.xml file. There are various ways to pull in the locations of the pages (e.g. you can use fuel_nav to pull in all the pages in the navigation, you can query the pages_model to get all the pages saved in the CMS by using the pages_model::all_pages_including_views method). Then in the config/routes.php file, you can uncomment the line about the route to the sitemap.xml.

I'm having the same problem. It looks like when the script outputs the start XML tag it drops an extra character in it.. ";"...

echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>';

becomes

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"; ?>

Windows, IIS Express... FireFox and Chrome

Change the layout code to the following:
echo str_replace(';', '', '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>');
There is an old comment in the code for the fuel/application/views/sitemap_xml.php view file that says:
"needed because of the Loader class mistaking the end of the xml node as PHP in load->view"
