Z-GrimV Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Hi, I've been using Prestashop version PrestaShop™ 1.4.6.2 and Google sitemap v1.8 by PrestaShop to generate my sitemap.xml. In my webmaster tools on Google I see that lots of my pages are being indexed but not one single image is being indexed. Cna anyone explain why this is happening and why nothing is being indexed? I have have 809 images submitted via the sitemap generated be Presashop. Thanks and regards, Z-GrimV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dead Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 well it's Google who not index your images, why do you ask Presta? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-GrimV Posted February 20, 2012 Author Share Posted February 20, 2012 I ask presta because I use the default prestashop google module called...Google sitemap v1.8 by PrestaShop You can see that I've highlighted the bit, by PrestaShop. This leads me to believe that the module was created by prestashop and seeing as none of my images are being indexed and hundreds of my pages are being indexed I was wondering if there is something that I need to do or change or install or pray for to allow google to better index my site. Maybe I need to make an image site map or kiss a golden cow turd...who knows. That is why i asked the question. Regards, Z-GrimV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z-GrimV Posted February 22, 2012 Author Share Posted February 22, 2012 Yeah, I have used the site: option before but all oof these images are thumbnails or such and not indexed images linked to any of the actual products. None of the images shown are actually linked to the name of the image or key words but rather some sort of generic image cached from the main page (random images showing in new products) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Z-GrimV Posted February 24, 2012 Author Share Posted February 24, 2012 Ello, Just to test, I created a partial image site map using A1 Sitemap and submitted to Google Webmaster tools and it's already started indexing my images within a few hours. My Prestashop generated sitemap has been up for weeks and not a single image indexed. There is something going on for sure with the Prestashop sitemap generator.

renamed_account_335778 Posted March 9, 2012 Share Posted March 9, 2012 What is the relation between Google Sitemap and images indexed? Sitemaps are for indexing pages (HTML), not images.

guest* Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 Same here. Besides that all products have a parse from about 7 seconds after upgrade to 1.4.6.2, all pictures disappeared on Google index (http://forge.prestas...owse/PSCFI-5156).

Has anyone managed to get their images indexed? and if so, with which sitemap generator? That is the same module I am using, and I try to talk with presto-changeo but he told me that it was not the module problem, to speak with google. Well, the thing is, my google webmaster doesn't show any images indexed, but by using site: myurl.com my images are indexed so... I don't know more than this. One thing that this module does, at least with me, is creating one duplicate url (my homepage) wich I have to edit and delete it every time I make changes on my sitemap.

Mark Hesketh Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Long shot but is your robots.txt blocking them being indexed? Check the sitemap.xml in your browser and make sure it actually contains your images. It should be similar to: <image:image> <image:loc> http://www.example.com/img/p/3/8/38.jpg </image:loc> <image:caption>iPod Nano</image:caption> <image:title>iPod Nano</image:title> </image:image> Google's page on sitemap images: http://support.googl...n&answer=178636 If that is in your sitemap, its not an issue with Prestashop's module. As I say, check your Robots.txt, and make sure the image urls in the sitemap actually point to your image incase the URL rewrite is faulty. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guest* Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 No, no block. robots is original Prestashop and there is no block on folder /img or something like this. Otherwise you will find this also on GG webmaster-Tools, i.e. that you are blocking images... Nothing is blocked, it's an issue of the new sitemap.xml (structure)/module. Edit: I also used the testing tool for sitemap. - No errors found... and goes the same pattern you wrote: <url> <loc>http://domain/categ/2858-product.html</loc> <priority>0.4</priority> <lastmod>2011-07-25</lastmod> <changefreq>weekly</changefreq> <image:image> <image:loc>http://domain/2858-9904/product.jpg </image:loc> <image:caption>product</image:caption> <image:title>product</image:title> </image:image> </url> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guest* Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 The only difference I see is what you wrote and what the module is writing: Your code: http://www.example.com/img/p/3/8/38.jpg What the module is writing and what also was written before the module upgrade... http://domain/2858-9904/product.jpg Perhaps here is the problem ???

Mark Hesketh Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 Just another thing too guys, don't know how relevant this is... But I just noticed one of my other sites, which is a WordPress site using WordPress SEO by Yoast for the XML file has all of the pages indexed, but not the images. Maybe images take more time and something else is involved? There's probably no problem at all. It could just be Google's process rather than the Prestashop XML sitemap being the problem.

businesseu Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Hi, i dont think so, with the Prestashop 1.3 all our pictures were correctly indexed! Now we have more than 4000 submitted pictures and 0 indexed!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guest* Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 @Mark Hesketh, yes the image appear. No problems with the link. In Prestashop you have two possibilites for image-engine. The link is according to the one you are using. Very slow ??? GG was very fast in deleting all my pictures from the search, now it is slow for re-index ??? Sorry, but I cannot follow this logic. @indus - no, no answer to the bug report. Devs are all busy with 1.5. RC for Barcamp in NY. I'm still waiting for bug report on block layered since months....

miromax.ua Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 This error with module indexing is not the only one. For example, developers prestashop erred in indicating how the location of images on the site, as a result, all the images of the same product, have the same name and same address online, on this they just can `t be indexed. In addition, you irreversible attention to more serious mistake. Module version 1.8. does not index many products. For example, in the search indexing settings, you can see that the internal search engine indexed Prestashop 1500 products, but the module Google Sitemap of 1100. And this is not the only one, child programming error. The team of developers PRESTASHOP - there is simply no system of quality control - it's my opinion. Guys. I want you to explain something. I have a lot of time using Prestashop. I find a lot of mistakes. However, these errors are often NOT corrected. Programmers often do not understand what was going on. Programmers often do not pay attention to the error. Programmers often do not fix it. Programmers often do not want to correct errors. Prestashop like OS Windows - it always comes out with bugs - and support for you to perform in accordance with any corrections for an additional charge.

guest* Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 I made a test on it. I downgraded my shop to the last version it was working well 1.4.5.1. The only thing what I was not able to undo is the fact that in the meantime I moved my pictures to non-legacy. Also with the downgrade of the version Google is not indexing my pictures anymore. So there are two possibilities remaining on this: 1) The non-legacy picture system prevents Google from indexing the pictures. 2) The service of image index of Google is out of service. I also noticed that the speed measure tool stopped the service mid of March. Google is not showing anymore the speed-statistic for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

guest* Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 I don't know. I haven't tested it. I will try when I have some time free. I've just downgraded my version 1.4.6.2 to 1.4.5.1. because there is a big speed problem on all versions 1.4.6.2 onwards. Live I will not upgrade anymore before I haven't meticulously tested the new versions. 2 big faux-pax are very critical for SEO on a good positioned shop.

We learned this after researching results from our MultiShop single sitemap. Did anyone try doing as I suggest? to see if you images are indexed: in google search site:example.com then select images... You can however make your images relevant by naming them with short descriptive information and more importantly using alt text. I vote this thread is solved.

Z-GrimV Posted June 4, 2012 Author Share Posted June 4, 2012 Hi, I've submitted image sitemaps that I created manually and also using thrid party software and google webmaster tools indexed all of my images in the submitted sitemaps. So the google webmaster tool will show index images if the sitemap is correct. Yes you can use site:example.com but this does not resolve the issues with the sitemap module and why it is not being picked up by the webmaster tools while normally generated sitemaps are.

guest* Posted June 4, 2012 Share Posted June 4, 2012 @ Z-Grim, for me I cannot confirm this. I'm also having problems now with other software not touched and GG is not indexing the new pictures. That's why I also tried a downgrade to 1.4.5.1, because on this version it was working well... Also the speed-measure stopped from End of February till last week on the Google webmaster tools. Now it is showing a wrong speed. I think it is an issue from Google. They are again changing something. I see this on the heavy traffic Google is producing the last weeks on my projects...

If you can provide us with what xml you used to accomplish this, I'll upgrade the sitemap code...for free. Otherwise I just assume how this all works for us common folk.

Mr S Posted July 15, 2012 Share Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) To fix this edit File: ./modules/gsitemap/gsitemap.php in side function _addSitemapNodeImage() update the code from: $image->addChild('loc', $link->getImageLink($product['link_rewrite'], (int)$product['id_product'].'-'.(int)$img['id_image']), 'http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1'); TO $image->addChild('loc', $link->getImageLink($product['link_rewrite'], (int)$product['id_product'].'-'.(int)$img['id_image'], 'large'), 'http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1'); I added this: , 'large' Edited July 15, 2012 by HA!*!*Y (see edit history) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guest* Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 @HA!*!*Y, thnxs for the hack, but at this stage I'm confused. Which. Module should I fix now ? I've tested enumerous one to put this into working. You mean the original ? My line is quite different as yours: $image->addChild('loc', htmlspecialchars($link->getImageLink($product['link_rewrite'], (int)$product['id_product'].'-'.(int)$product['id_image'])), 'http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1'); I have there htmlspecialchars.. which are necessary to have them working with default PS languages (FR, ES and at least DE) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guest* Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 I've now added the "large" to that line despite the difference between your code and mine. Generated a new sitemap, but the link for picture in it remains the same and also no difference on image:loc. From my feeling, there is something wrong with non-legacy picture system (new PS System) and the rewrite rules. See also HERE The bot is rewriting the links to a Link with captcha... I don't have any captcha activated.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_64 Posted July 20, 2012 Share Posted July 20, 2012 Hello, I have the same problem, and i modify manualy my sitemap.xml in the lines images (10 lines) for http://www.mysite.com/img/p/1245/1253-256.jpg for the problem of htaccess and 10 other pages with append "large" 3 day later, i hav 5 images indexed. When i see the information images in FF, my images are resized (original size 800x600) to 640x450 (large). I have make a sitemap test to vérifie this, and make the modif on gsitemap.php.

guest* Posted July 22, 2012 Share Posted July 22, 2012 To fix this edit File: ./modules/gsitemap/gsitemap.php in side function _addSitemapNodeImage() update the code from: $image->addChild('loc', $link->getImageLink($product['link_rewrite'], (int)$product['id_product'].'-'.(int)$img['id_image']), 'http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1'); TO $image->addChild('loc', $link->getImageLink($product['link_rewrite'], (int)$product['id_product'].'-'.(int)$img['id_image'], 'large'), 'http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1'); I added this: , 'large' Helped nothing. Google is not indexing the pictures. I pinged all major SERP's several times after the change. No indexing of picutes... Google is always crawling my page 2 to 5 minutes after each ping, so nothing wrong in here, only on picture crawling. I'm sure the problem is based on .htaccess rewrite-rules...

Patrick_64 Posted July 23, 2012 Share Posted July 23, 2012 Hello, My problem is resolved with your solution, thank you for all. I think, like cd2500, that the problem is on th htaccess good holidays Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Denial Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 @ CD2500: according to Google Webmaster Tools none of my images has been indexed, not one, yet if I google for some of my products, the images do show up in image results. So Google did find and index them, but the Webmaster Tools page says otherwise. So I think their tools is slightly broken. Have you tried searching for your own images on Google, did none show up?

guest* Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Hi, this I noticed these days too.... According to webmaster-tools no one indexed, but all new products I was able to find the pictures indexed. So it seems that the Google Tool stopped to work or the change of the code with "large" was the solution ? I cannot say. Sometimes Google is not really reliable with his tools and indexing-bots :-(( and making webmasters crazy with this changes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Denial Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 @ cd2500: yeah, I know, it drove me crazy too! I spent countless hours on this issue before figuring that the images ARE being indexed even if Webmaster Tool says the contrary. It's just like the G+1 reporting sometimes resetting to zero +1's, or G+ creating links that Google reports as broken when they're not... But as long as everything is fine in the end, that's all that matters! Ente gut, alles gut! ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guest* Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 I don't know which of the changes solved the problem now, but Google is again indexing the pictures (on one of my domains). Others remain open, so I will generate a new .htaccess for them and before I add the code /modules/gsitemap/gsitemap.php in side function _addSitemapNodeImage() too.

Mister Denial Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 Hey cd2500, which version of the Google sitemap module are you using? I noticed my code looks different from the above in the post, I am using Google sitemap v1.9 by PrestaShop And the code looks like this $image->addChild('loc', htmlspecialchars($link->getImageLink($product['link_rewrite'], (int)$product['id_product'].'-'.(int)$product['id_image'])), 'http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1'); Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrestaNinja Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Same, just write: $image->addChild('loc', htmlspecialchars($link->getImageLink($product['link_rewrite'], (int)$product['id_product'].'-'.(int)$product['id_image'], 'large')), 'http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap-image/1.1'); Add ,'large' before the two ).

dorje Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Myshop version is 1.4.4.1 and i tried to install the latest sitemap version 1.9 in it but failed. No idea what's happening I have the sitemap version of 1.7.2 which is not good . It adds all the id parameteres and unwanted urls in it and it does index any images every time. Very bad module... Plz help me on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorje Posted November 9, 2012 Share Posted November 9, 2012 hello everyone I want to exclude fr pages and url while creating sitemap from Google sitemap module.

hunter_ar_frio Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Hi everyone I need help. I'm a prestashop novice. The "tag" caption and title are empty on the sitemap (PS 1.5.2) with google sitemap module. This is bad for the images classification. The "Legend" field in the database is empty but the "alt" attribute works on mouseover (store). I don't understand. I searched the Internet for answers and got nothing. Can anyone here help me solve this problem? Please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoKr Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 HI I got the sitemap v1.7.2 (presto-Changeo Fix), too. I am pretty sure it came with PS1.4.9. But who knows, I just cannot remember to have installed it... But since a few days there is PS 1.4.10. Before I am going to apply the fix of post #91 on my sitemap v1.7.2 (presto-Changeo Fix) in PS1.4.9 I wanted to ask if you got any experiences with the new PS1.4.10 concerning this. And if not, well, what is better module? One that came with PS1.4.8 / 1.4.9 or the sitemap v1.7.2 (presto-Changeo Fix)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BoKr Posted April 28, 2013 Share Posted April 28, 2013 Funny and what is about information about the most proper sitemap module? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadlyblue Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 I think Google sitemap still has some problems. First, i get 404 error after 46seconds. My php max execution is way over that... Second, the only time it kind of worked, created 3 files in 3 languages, but not for each store we have, it was all mixed up in one language file. Maybe it did ended prematurly, i just know i'm going to keep using the old one, even with the problems indexing images. But i agree, it's there any proper module for multishop multilanguage sitemap?

sadlyblue Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Good to know. Thanks for the info. Will try to downgrade. At least the old version worked better with multishop.... But does it support multishop? Creating a sitemap for each store? Mine keeps crashing, can't fully test. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

webcrest Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 What you mean by image indexing. Google crawler can not index images and video but only if you add alt tags. Check if alt tags are missing in html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
