Parsing Error in XML Site Map File - HELP! - 2007/09/21 23:38 I'm getting the follow error message whenever I try to access my XML site map:

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: http://www.isfforum.com/component/option,com_sefservicemap/task,xmlmap/apm;tmpl,component/no_html,1/
Line Number 292, Column 92:<tr align="left"><td><a href="http://www.isfforum.com/index.php?option=com_deeppockets&task=catShow&id=1&Itemid=38" class="mainlevel" >Display Technology</a></td></tr>

I'm at a loss why this is occurring. For one thing, I actually have the menu item for page excluded in the SEF Service Map Structure section of the control panel. FWIW, my TXT sitemap file works perfectly.

Another related question: I understand that I should directly submit my XML sitemap to Google, but what about other search engine crawlers that can make use of XML sitemaps. Again, my understanding is that the file should be placed in the robots.txt file, but does it matter where the file is located and do I need to do anything for this file to be updated. Specifically, if I add new content, do I need to refresh my sitemap to update the XML and TXT files, or does this happen automatically behind the scenes?

Finally, is there any benefit to SEFing my XML and TXT sitemap files?

Re:Parsing Error in XML Site Map File - 2007/09/27 14:42 Sorry to be bumping this, but I'm really in need of some help here.

When I first read about SEF Service Map, one of the selling points was support. Maybe it's just my bad luck of the draw, but seems like that has maybe have fallen off some since those reviews were written.

But I'm not here to whinge, I just need some guidance...

Re:Parsing Error in XML Site Map File - 2007/10/16 03:42 I think I may have found something.
I have a test site and a pro site.

My test site works:

I think it has to do with the schema

I'm seeing : <urlset xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.9"> on my sit that works

and on my site that does not work i'm seeing:

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

Re:Parsing Error in XML Site Map File - 2007/10/16 04:58 gaorenst,

Thanks for sharing this with us, but I'm not really clear on what it means, or how that info might be translated into a (user? developer?) fix for the problem.

Is this something that you can clarify? Many thanks...

Re:Parsing Error in XML Site Map File - 2007/10/17 05:01 Well i think i solved my problem. I dont know how or why it worked but I disabled all my mambots. and the xml sitemap appeared correctly. I then re-enabled them and it still worked correctly.

not sure what the problem was. let me know if this works for you.
