Hello, congratulation for your excellent component.

I just installed it with the pro version. I have a component that is not in the Wizard list for Data Source. Also the component has SEF fragment that I would like to remove. I am not sure if your component will be useful for the later so I thought of asking.

1. HD Video Share

Here are 3 typical raw links:

Code:

// http://www.quebecguitare.ca/video http://www.quebecguitare.ca/index.php?option=com_contushdvideoshare&view=player&Itemid=944 // http://www.quebecguitare.ca/video/player/guthrie-govan-fives/fives-penta-condense-fm-em-pos5 http://www.quebecguitare.ca/index.php?Itemid=944&option=com_contushdvideoshare&view=player&category=guthrie-govan-fives&video=fives-penta-condense-fm-em-pos5 // http://www.quebecguitare.ca/video/player/flamenco-fusion-5vers1-arastr%C3%A8s/flamenco-routine-5vers1-arastres-dm http://www.quebecguitare.ca/index.php?Itemid=944&option=com_contushdvideoshare&view=player&category=flamenco-fusion-5vers1-arastr%C3%A8s&video=flamenco-routine-5vers1-arastres-dm

I have red fully your documentation and have taken notes. I am about to go through the different steps for Custom Data Source / SQL Query Compiler: HD Video Section. I was wondering if you had any advice or if you could setup the automatic Data Source for that component? Also, is there a way to get rid of these 2 fragment expression in the SEF URL: //Video is a menu item of this subtemplate section for the video component http://www.quebecguitare.ca/video/player/flamenco-fusion-5vers1-arastr%C3%A8s/flamenco-routine-5vers1-arastres-dm // /player/ is generated by the component and is undesirable. Thank you, Regards

Hello Alexandre,

please contact me at This e-mail address is being protected from spam bots, you need JavaScript enabled to view it providing access to backend site,
so i will be able to help and solve all 3 questions you posted here.

In the meanwhile:

-question with RSS-> due to a javascript code for Google Analytics incorrectly added to the XML of the feed, probably a bugged plugin?
-question with custom data source-> i should access backend to better help you
-question with sitemaps submission -> just submit the links to Google webmasters tools if you have an account in the section to submit sitemaps. Of course the HTML sitemap is not to submit, only the XML formats are to be submitted to search engines

Thanks and regards,

John

This section is still under construction so it is blocked from crawling: http://www.quebecguitare.ca/video

Also, I just logged in to my GWT account.

What is the best practice for this case. I maybe too naively listened to the advices from google telling me to submit both www and non-www site.

I use redirect non-www on htaccess.

Now I get this messag from GWT:
http://quebecguitare.ca/: Googlebot can't access your siteDec 13, 2014
Over the last 24 hours, Googlebot encountered 18 errors while attempting to access your robots.txt. To ensure that we didn't crawl any pages listed in that file, we postponed our crawl. Your site's overall robots.txt error rate is 37.5%.
You can see more details about these errors in Webmaster Tools.

..and as well while I am at it:
http://www.quebecguitare.ca/: Increase in not found errorsDecember 7, 2014
Google detected a significant increase in the number of URLs that return a 404 (Page Not Found) error. Investigating these errors and fixing them where appropriate ensures that Google can successfully crawl your site's pages.

I just tried submitting the following XML: http://www.quebecguitare.ca/index.php?option=com_jmap&view=sitemap&format=xml


I get the following error:
We encountered an error while trying to access your Sitemap. Please ensure your Sitemap follows our guidelines and can be accessed at the location you provided and then resubmit.
1
URL restricted by robots.txt

I excluding menu items that leads to the video section, but still I have the error.

I wanted to exclude the video section because it has bad SEF like I said in my other post, I wish to remove the fragments /video/player/ from the URL. But if you tell me that doesn't matter much for indexing, I unblock this section from the robot and start indexing it.

Regards

The error:

URL restricted by robots.txt

given by Google is correct, and i'ts due to the sitemap link itself that is blocked in the robots.txt:
Disallow: /index.php

About the fragments: /video/player/ they are good for SEo so you can make that open for indexing.
I suppose they are generated by the extension HD video share, in this case i can go on to help you to find correct integration with JSitemap.

To solve the submission blocking for the index.php i just activated the SEF version of sitemap links that can be submitted to GWT, like this: http://www.quebecguitare.ca/component/jmap/sitemap/xml
