Error 404 using XMAP plugin

Hi.

I have installed XMAP v. 2.0 component and I have a menu option to access the sitemap.
It runs OK, but the sitemap is not showing categories of Hikashop component.

I have been searching for an integration between Hikashop and XMAP and just here I found a documentation post about it.

I have downloaded the xmap_hikashop_2.zip file and install the XMAP-Hikashop plugin.
The plugin now is enabled and the settings are the following:

• Maximum depth - <empty>
• Maximum products - <empty>
• Show same product - Yes
• Show same category - Yes
• Priority - Use parent menu settings
• Change frequency - Use parent menu settings

The sitemap has the following settings:

• Menus - I have 3 menus (principal/main; top; tienda on-line/on-line shop) that are marked with priority "0.5" and frequency "weekly"
• Options

• Texto Introductorio - Yes
• Título del Menú - Yes
• Clase CSS - <empty>
• # Columnas - 3
• Imagen para enlaces externos - img_blue.gif
• Comprimir XML - Yes
• Embellecer XML - Yes

XMAP_FIELDSET_NEWS_OPTIONS - Publication name - <empty>

The issue is that after installation and configuration of XMAP-HIKASHOP plugin when I access sitemap link on my web site I have an 404 error like answer:

"Internal Server Error

The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, webadmin@kundenserver.de and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

Please, could you please help me about what is the cause of this error.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

It sounds like you have too many categories/products and xmap cannot list them all due to the processing restrictions in place on your server.

You should set the options Show same product and Show same category to no and set a maximum depth and a maximum number of products so that it is able to display the page.

Thank You Nicolas.

I have solved the problem with your guides.

I have only one more question... I have unplished the menu option for "listing products" because I can not set the value "0" on parameter "maximum products" at XMAP-HIKASHOP plugin settings... If I set that parameter with value "1" the menu option is shown on sitemap and after that it shows a link to one product that is not relevant (in fact there is no product that could be consider more relevant than the others), so I decide to unpublish the menu option for "listing products" and keep the value "1" for parameter "maximum products" and in this way the sitemap is not showing that menu option but neither the link to any non-relevant product.

I think it could be an improvement to allow to set the "maximum products" parameter to value "0" in order to keep published the "listing products" menu option without showing non-relevant products on sitemap.

Again, thank you very much for your quickly and accurate answer.

Hi,

Why can't you set 0 for that option ?

Normally, if you don't set anything there, it is considered that you want to display all products. It's like if you set -1 in that field. If you set 0, it doesn't display any product. And if you set a positive value it displays products up until that number.

Hi Nicolas.

If I set value "0" for "maximum products" parameter and the menu option for "listing products" is published I obtain the same error when I click the sitemap.
With value "0" and menu option unpublised it works ok.

Hi,

Ah yes, I think I found the issue and the fix.

Please try to change the line:
if(!empty($params))
to:
if(isset($params))

in the file plugins/xmap/com_hikashop/com_hikashop.php

I had not give my thanks for the solution of this issue.
