Hey I really love nukeseo as it's been a very valuable asset to keyword analyzing and all that. But I've been trying in vain for weeks to get the sitemaps working with google. I've installed it correctly, disabled the modules that I didn't want included (which leaves the forums and faqs of my site as the main parts of my sitemap), and it displays ok in the browser, but I have validation errors when I submit to google. I've tried several ways to change the headers, anything to make it compliant, and haven't figured it out. Please help. My site is here:

The errors that Google is giving you might be useful but I suspect it is probably something about illegal characters?
I see you are using square brackets in some places which I do not think is a legal XML character.

The current error is:

Parsing error
We were unable to read your Sitemap. It may contain an entry we are unable to recognize. Please validate your Sitemap before resubmitting

So there probably are illegal characters, i'll try changing the brackets. Can I add some code to the index.php file to re-write any illegal characters as legal ones?

Tried checking it at validome and w3.org.

W3.org report:

Error: Expected whitespace after public id
in unnamed entity at line 1 char 63 of http://www.megaplatinum.net/v5/html/modules.php?name=Sitemap&op=Google

Validome report:

Document contains a DTD.
As it can not be guaranteed that the DTD contains the processing rules for Google Sitemap, the document can not be validated.
Remove the DTD and try to revalidate the document.

You need to fix this on line 1 I quess I tried to view your source code but its impossible. Also Firefox hangs and there is no feedback if I try your sitemap.
I had similar errors and solved everything. It isnĀ“t so hard to solve these validation errors.My sitemap.html is valid.

ok interesting, if it's line 1, line 1 is:

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>


Line 2 is (which appears as line 1 when viewing the source)

Code:
<urlset xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84 http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84/sitemap.xsd">


When viewing the source in an editor, it appears as:

Code:
<urlset xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84 http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84/sitemap.xsd"><!-- Created by nukeSEO Sitemap 1.0B --><!-- Updated on 2008-10-02T14:10:42-0400 -->


When looking at google's rules for header information, they mention the schema should be .9, not .84 - trying that doesn't work either

Code:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

   <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
   xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
   xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9
   http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd">


So I'm not sure what line 1 really is and what may possibly be wrong with it. Can you explain a little more susann what part of the code I need to look at and what I need to change?

Perhaps this is a problem with my apache server? When looking at the page with IE, the page crashes on loading around 125898 everytiime and corrupts the rest of the file. If this is the case, is there a way to limit the amount of urls in the sitemap to something like 5000 or 10,000?

here's the last few lines of the corrupted data:

<lastmod>2008-10-02T16:10:58-05:00</

AN> <changefreq>daily</changefreq>

Quess my problem was a bit different different:
http://nukeseo.com/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=300&highlight=

After I corrected some things I wrote in the thread the browser never crashed when loading sitemap.html.

"This document was successfully checked as XHTML 1.0 Transitional" is what I get from W3C and when I use the Google sitemap validator at validome I get the same notice like you but I used the other validator there and my sitemap.html is full valid.
On line 1 I have:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
