Re: asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)
Hello,
I have ‘patched’ the sitemaps plugin so that it is possible to exclude sections from the output. It’s not the best solution, but at least, it’s a solution.
This is a direct-download link:
http://altum.be/file_download/32 (Sorry, no more available)
That file is the complete code of the original plugin, extended with my solution.
So if you have made some changes to the plugin by your own, you will loose them when you use my version.
A first test learns me that it works, but somehow, I have a problem if the forbidden section is called ‘test’… Maybe it’s a problem of caching at the proxy-server that I use. Any feedback is welcome!
Kind regards,
Geert Van Aken
Ps: Sencer, this plugin really rocks!
edit: As you can see in my post on page 6 of this forum thread, I have a new version of this plugin, pointing to the schema at the official sitemaps.org website. This is a direct download link to that version: http://altum.be/file_download/36 (Sorry, no more available)

That’s awesome Geert, thanks!
I’ll give it a spin later this week and see how it does. I’ll let you know if I run into any problems.

Today, my test-section wasn’t in the sitemaps anymore, so I guess it was a caching-problem. It seems that my patch works. Any other oppinions?

Re: asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)
I’m a little confused by this – does the plugin take the time from the server its on, or the time zone as set in the TXP prefs? Cos obviously it should be the latter, but I don’t think it is…
Any idea how we can mod the time function to get the actual time as it would be after modification as per the TXP time zone setting?

Re: asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)
This might be a bit off-topic, but I found that Google Sitemaps really screwed up my index with Google. I couldn’t figure out why my site wasn’t showing up in searches anymore. I deleted my sitemap from Google and now it’s beginning to show up again. This plug-in works fine, there’s just something weird going on with Sitemaps at Google. Searching around I found others with the same problem.
Bottom line, if you use their sitemap tool, regularly search for your site on Google using the site:www.yoursitehere.com search. Make sure you’re not dropping off their index.

Re: asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)
You can just install the original version and then edit it and replace the whole code with this version…

Re: asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)
Can you update the plugin to support the new sitemaps.org? Thanks.

Re: asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)
playpiggy, I have updated my change to this plugin to point to the sitemaps.org 0.9 schema validation.
I did not test yet if google sitemaps does accept it, so I suggest that you keep a copy of your original plugin code.
However, this is a direct download link:

The plugin works well, and google accepts it.
Thank you, Geert.

Re: asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)
Not sure if i’m doing something wrong, but i created the blank file (sitemap.xml.gz), gave it permission 666, installed and activated the plug-in, and nothing happens. When I browse to the sitemap file, i keep getting an error
“XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location: http://christopher-scott.org/sitemap.xml.gz
Line Number 1, Column 1:”
Aren’t I supposed to see a usual XML file?
EDIT: I’m a moron, if anyone else is having this problem, just press “go” under the extensions tab to generate your first sitemap.

Re: asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)
Stupid question: how to use the asy_allowed function? I don’t get the help in the comment lines above it.
For example, if I want to exclude the sections A, B, C and D, what the code would be?
Or to take that the other way around, what the code would be if I only want to include A, B, C and D, and no other sections?
I’ve tested several syntax, but I haven’t written PHP in many many years, I’m all rusted :( I’ve managed to do it work the way I want (only the sections I specify), but without an array the code looks ugly.

Does this mod of the plugin resolve the problems with the current version of the official asy_sitemap?
