Thanks Jeff. That worked.

Since I'm submitting http://www.site.com/sitemapindex.ashx to Google and it's generating the sitemap for me, is there a way I can resolve this for all sitemaps generated on site.com/sitemapindex.ashx ?

[EDIT] - As I look at it more, I think there are some problems here that cannot be solved without Telligent. I have submitted to a Telligenti for some further thought on this subject.

Url rewriting would be my first option. The actual code is way down in the SDK in CSContext.

I believe it would have to be a custom http module because the redirects available via SiteUrls override are case-insensitive.

Hopefully Telligent can release a fix.

In SiteUrls.config, change the "siteMap" url by changing "appType" to just "type".  It should look like this:

    <url name="siteMap" path="SiteMap.ashx?type={0}^{1}={2}" />

In sitemap.ashx.cs, change the line of code referring to "appType" to refer to just "type".  It should look like this:

    string appType = Context.Request.QueryString["type"];

This will not only fix the exception, but it will also correctly limit the sitemap entries referring to tags.  It will limit the entries to just the tags within the section, and not to all the tags with in the apptype.

I also changed the line of code that looks like this:

     Permissions.AccessCheck(mediaGallery, Permission.Read, context.User);

to look like this:

     Permissions.AccessCheck(mediaGallery, Permission.View, context.User);

I think most sites have it so that a user can browse to a media file, but that you need to login to view the file.  This will allow such media galleries to have a sitemap.

Thanks for the fixes Troy.

Can anyone from Telligent confirm if a patch will be released for this or if site owners have to fix this themselves?

Any suggestions?

I personally have not yet heard back.

While I don't normally recommend hacking the SDK source, if you really must get up to SP1, then that's what I would do. 

The 2 fixes I mentioned previously to the file "sitemap.ashx.cs" do not require the SDK.

A little off topic, but for the sake of discussion, I use the compiled CommunityServer.Web assembly as an SDK source, and leave the cs files out of my implementations.

So I guess the real distinction I am making is that I prefer not to recompile the given source from telligent; only to work in my own code, and to implement extensions. It makes upgrading more reliable.

In the end, you have to do what you have to do.

Thanks for that patch; it worked a treat.

I'm getting the same errors as well in my log (2008.5 SP1)
