exp:stats in sitemap.xml not working

This question may be related to a resolved thread.

This issue persists in v2.2.1 - Build: date 20110705. Turning off “Online User Tracking” shuts down <lastmod>{exp:stats}{last_entry_date format="{DATE_W3C}”}{/exp:stats}</lastmod> in /sitemap.xml

Please replicate. Thanks!

Also,
```
Yep, I can replicate this and we’ll get a fix into the next release. For now you can change line 147 (not 177) of system/expressionengine/modules/stats/mod.stats.php to

if ($this->EE->stats->statdata('current_names') AND count($this->EE->stats->statdata('current_names') > 0))
```
does not resolve the isssue for me.

Thimas,

I tested in EE2.2.2 and do not get an error. I do not get a result either only a double hyphen from the date formatting. Before progressing with this I need to know what is happening in your case.

John,
same thing here. {exp:stats} does not display {last_entry_date format=”{DATE_W3C}”} in my sitemap.xml while it should. shouldn’t it?

Thomas,

Try adding the channel parameter. That worked for me.
```
<lastmod>
{exp:stats channel="news"}
{last_entry_date format="{DATE_W3C}"}
{/exp:stats}
</lastmod>
```

john,
that was helpful. adding an existing channel parameter displays an {last_entry_date format=”{DATE_W3C}”} - although i have no idea where that date is taken from as it is not a recent one.

thank you.

Thomas,

In a separate blank template can you add the following please
```
{exp:channel:entries channel="news" dynamic="no" limit="1" orderby="date"}
<h1>{title}</h1>
<h2>{entry_date format="{DATE_W3C}"}</h2>
<p>{/exp:channel:entries}
```
Does that reflect the most recent date for that entry?

Here’s the code is use for now:

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

{exp:channel:entries channel="pages" disable="categories|custom_fields|member_data|pagination|trackbacks" rdf="off" dynamic="no" limit="1" orderby="date"}

<lastmod>{gmt_edit_date format="{DATE_W3C}"}</lastmod>

{/exp:channel:entries}

any suggestion for me, John?

Hi Thomas,

I don’t believe I’m able to reproduce the issue you’re having. Are you running the latest version of EE?

Using your code above, I’m getting an XML file output that includes…
```
<lastmod>2011-08-25T08:31:26+00:00</lastmod>
```
Is that what you’re getting? If not, post back here with the output you get.

Since I’m not experiencing the issue you’re describing and we’re running different versions of EE, let me get you to upgrade your installation to the latest version, which at the time of writing is 2.2.2.

Once you’ve done that, post back with an update on your progress. Thanks!

Kevin,
thanks for your encouragement! I updated and things are good.

Regarding my example code this update does not change the outcome. as john suggested adding the channel parameter displays the edit date.
```
<lastmod>{exp:stats}{last_entry_date format=”{DATE_W3C}”}{/exp:stats}</lastmod>
```
displays two dashes (for me).

That’s so odd. That’s not happening to me. Are you sure your Channel Entries tag is outputting anything? Throw in some other Channel Entries single variables as well as date variables. Is it outputting anything at all? If so, where does it fall short?
