Had a nasty gram from Google about the sitemap! (Not the first time! )

Looking into it, I discovered that when the sitemap is generated in jAlbum / Tiger, it adds a level using the project name. (jAlbum version 34.2.1). Found the same issue on my other PhotoBlogger driven sites)

Upload setting is correct (https://gallery.soft-focus-imagining.com). See attachment.

The 2nd level /Gallery" should not be in URL. Example:

<url>
<loc>https://gallery.soft-focus-imagining.com/Gallery/index.html</loc>
<lastmod>2024-01-16T21:16:17.961Z</lastmod>

I've attached the sitemap created by jAlbum. Shows every URL on my test site.

Over and Out - Nigel.

Jeff, long time no chat. Hope I'm finding you well.

Anyways, the first post was WRONG, I screwed up by using the wrong test site. I've re-run the test using a real live web site and the original issue is there.

I've re-written the issue using the correct site, checked my upload path (it is just the URL - see image).

I've plowed through all the other settings and can not see where it's grabbing the "added" level in sitemap.

Moving targets are fun, providing you're Clay Pidgeon shooting!

The " / " did the trick.

It's a shame the code doesn't add it if it's missing.

Thanks for your help ....

Laza,

Understood. I think my confusion was that the site uploaded and worked correctly without the trailing " / ". So I thought I'd done the right thing!

It's always confusing when some software needs the " / " and some does not, with the same question!

Ghost text in the box, " https://example.com/ " as a clue?

Anyways, your work on the themes is exemplary. I really like the "Tiger" theme. In the past I've used Gallery, Gallery2, (looked at Zenfolio), Coppermine, and finally PIWIGO. (But I got tired of fighting PHP, Opcache, fpm, etc, hence the switch)

And I have to say that jAlbum may have a steepish learning curve, but once learned, it just plain works perfectly, very fast and clean results.

Nigel.
