Yes off course I did and it doesn't work.
I created a new sitemap and loaded it in the root.
Please have a look at it. Do it before Google starts pushing my website down in the listings.

When I see my site drop I will remove the sitemap again.

Such file is created when there are no URLs selected as Indexed. Please, open the SiteMap page in JoomSEF and double check that there is at least one URL checked as Indexed. If there is, please contact me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it with the access information to your website's administration so I can check this problem myself. Thank you.

I've been trying to get this to work as well. I go into the admin and check all the boxes to select URL's. When I generate the sitemap.xml file it has no information only this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns:xsi="www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9 www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd" xmlns="www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
</urlset>

I've even tried checking the boxes in the "Indexed" column with no difference.

David,

Good to see you back and to get support again.
I did as you described but the same result.

Earlier you had access to my website. I have set administrator rights again for you.

Thanks

Hi,

Sjaak:
Your URLs are correctly set as Indexed, but the problem was that the "XML file name" option in JoomSEF's configuration on the SiteMap tab was empty, so I've set the correct file name, and then the Generate XML button worked correctly and the sitemap is generated.

softwired:
1. In JoomSEF's configuration on the SiteMap tab, check that you have the "XML file name" set correctly (default is "sitemap").
2. Open SiteMap page in JoomSEF, first select the checkboxes in Indexed column for URLs you want to be present in the sitemap. Then click the Apply button to save this - this is really important! Then click the Generate XML button and the sitemap should be created correctly.

Best regards,

David,

Thank you for looking into this and pointing me in the right direction. Case solved.

It leaves me with some points of consideration which I want to share here:

The solution to this 'problem' was a fairly easy one, after all. Still it took Artio support over 3 weeks to get it solved. I noticed you where away for the same period. Serious point to look into for ARTIO.

This 'problem' could have been avoided with a change in the UI of Joomsef. I seriously think it is strange that you cannot set the configuration of the sitemap on the page you use to create the sitemap.
To set the name of the sitemap on another page, and then only when you go to the sitemap tab of that page is too far away. It needs a simpler solution. I hope you can take this in consideration for the next upgrade.
