For whatever reason the format d-m-Y h:i:s was only used once i change them all now it works.. self healing...lol

Although that seems to work it still not accepted by google any help is welcome i need to change it to

2013-10-21 15:56:22

should be written

2013-10-21T15:56:22+2.00 for it to be accepted by google

It's not easy to follow your writings, but you have changed it in /catalog/view/theme/*/template/feed/google_sitemap.tpl - right?

Clock time isn't really needed, Google will accept Y-m-d too, last time I tested I used:

        <?php if (isset($result['date'])) { ?>

        <lastmod><?php echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime($result['date'])); ?></lastmod>

        <?php } else { ?>

        <lastmod><?php echo date('Y-m-d'); ?></lastmod>

        <?php } ?>

But I guess it could also work with something like (not tested):

        <?php if (isset($result['date'])) { ?>

        <lastmod><?php echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime($result['date'])) . 'T' . date('H:i:s', strtotime($result['date'])) . '+2.00'; ?></lastmod>

        <?php } else { ?>

        <lastmod><?php echo date('Y-m-d') . 'T' . date('H:i:s') .'+2.00'; ?></lastmod>

        <?php } ?>

BUT, I guess that timezone addition (+2.00) is depending on servers timezone. I would skip it ...

EDIT! Those are the valid formats: https://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime - but only YYYY-MM-DD is required when using the optional lastmod tag: http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html

Thanks i will try to follow these instructions? i am not sure which one will work, will try everything

The second code had the same result, but the first code came up with this result.

You can't see it?

To post code, you need to use the code tag around it (found in the toolbar for the text field).



If you use caching in site or server, remember to flush it before testing changes!

OK Looking now but it is not what google is saying?

If the file you posted is located in the template you are using, you would not get that output including time, as it doesn’t exist in that file - according to you.

Oh, and there is no times in that link you posted earlier:

So I really don't have any clue about what you actually are doing ...

Try

<lastmod> . date('c', strtotime($result['date_modified'])) . </lastmod>

Something is not right with that code?

Thanks
