RE:Google Sitemap - Errors

Resurrecting this... I just submitted a SiteMap generated by the Kentico GoogleSiteMap.aspx page to Bing Webmaster Tools, and it complained with this error:

HTTP code: 200
Severity: Error Line: 2 Position: 63 Message: The attribute 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance:schemalocation' does not match one of the four allowed attributes in the 'xsi' namespace.

I see this same error when I load the XML file in Visual Studio. It's complaining about the "xmlset" declaration:

<urlset xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemalocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9 http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd"
xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">

I know this markup is fine, since the SiteMaps specification mentions it specifically here:

http://sitemaps.org/protocol.php#xmlTagDefinitions

If both Bing and Google (and Visual Studio) are complaining, there must be something wrong. Just not sure what yet. Ideas?

Erik


Kentico Support	kentico_jurajo - 12/2/2010 4:55:49 AM RE:Google Sitemap - Errors Hi, The only issue I found so far is that in the xsi:schemalocation should be capital L - xsi:schemaLocation. You can edit it in /CMSPages/GoogleSiteMap.aspx file within your web project. Best regards, Juraj Ondrus

RE:Google Sitemap - Errors

That was the problem - I capitalized the "L" in schemaLocation and resubmitted to Bing, and the error went away. Visual Studio also no longer complains. I also tested an upload to Google and it does not seem to complain, either.

So is this possibly a bug with GoogleSiteMap.aspx? I don't yet have a 5.5 install I can test with, but the lowercase L is output from the 5.0 version.

Kentico Support	kentico_jurajo - 12/6/2010 3:37:29 AM RE:Google Sitemap - Errors Hi, Yes, regrettably this is a bug which was already fixed for new version and also for today's hotfix for version 5.5. Best regards, Juraj Ondrus
