Installation and configuration

How to install and configure the module in the online store.

or read our documentation [url=/documentation-nopimagesitemap]link[/url]

Umm I’m not really sure what this program is supposed to do..  but I installed the trial and nothing has happened.. no files have been created..

Plugin creates this file on fly in memory. You will not see it on disk.
Try to open it using URL http://www.yourstore.com/sitemap-images.xml.
You can save it on disk, but you should add this URL Google and Google will check it from time to time.

That’s what I mean.. I clicked the link and it comes up with a 404 not found error. I also tried one of the localization folder folder links (/en/), and no dice.

1. What nopcommerce version do you use?
2. Did you enable plugin on plugin configure page?
3. Can I connect to your PC using TeamViewer or another program? I want to check myself.

1. 3.9 w/ Nop-templates Traction theme & 2 Langs (eng/fre)
2. Yes, plugin is enabled.
3. Truthfully, I’d rather not... Sorry... I was just curious what info might have been generated by the plugin.. at this time it’s definitely not high priority enough to put resources towards making credentials and debugging.

Anyways, if it helps, enabling debugging inside the plugin doesn’t seem to function either.. I hit the checkbox to enable debugging and then save. The first time that the screen refreshes, it still shows that debugging is enabled, but when refreshed a second time, it disabled itself. When I do get the chance to download the log file, it just throws me over to the widgets configuration page.

Weird..

I have found the problem. I'll fix it now.

Download new release and try. Thank you for inform about this problem.

Version 1.01 - February 05, 2018

- fixed bug for multistore stores. Plugin didn't create XML file if you disabled it for all stores and enabled for on store.

Sorry to burst the bubble, but no luck.

Uninstalled/reinstalled.. enabled plugin. Debugging stays on now no log file is generated (sends me to widget menu). No XML output that I can see.


Sorry! :(

Maybe someone removed static route ....

Can you try to open direct URL for controller?

http://www.yourstore.com/ImageSitemap/SitemapXml
or
http://www.yourstore.com/en/ImageSitemap/SitemapXml

Support wrote:

Ok, yes, both of those URLs generate an XML file with image names and urls.. guess there’s a disconnect somewhere..

Yes....
Plugin registers new routes

            routes.MapLocalizedRoute("sitemap-images.xml",
                            "sitemap-images.xml",
                            new { controller = "ImageSitemap", action = "SitemapXml" },
                            new[] { "FoxNetSoft.Plugin.Misc.ImageSitemap.Controllers" });

and priority 10

Maybe one of plugins changes it....

I can increase the priority ....

I have the last question.
Maybe you blocked static URLs? Can you check it?

I don’t believe that our site blocks static URL’s, but I don’t recall seeing an option to unless I’m mistaken.

Would it make any difference whether our images were stored in the database vs the file system?

>I don’t believe that our site blocks static URL’s, but I don’t recall seeing an option to unless I’m mistaken.
I blocks static Urls with extension ".php". But if you blocked static URLs you would see empty page...
It means that  someone changed route.

No, plugin uses nopcommerce PictureService interface and NopCommerce returns picture URLs. You can use CDN too.

I increased the priority of routes.
