asy_sitemap: Google-Sitemap (as-is/for developers)

I haven’t used webmaster tools in a few years, but doesn’t it let you point to a sitemap? Seems that would eliminate the need for any kind of pinging mechanism.

Yes. If you set up an account with Webmaster Tools and register your sitemap (all free, of course), Google regularly checks it for updates and even gives you a nice suite of info about errors and missing content. Good stuff. There is no need to ping Google regularly.

Ouch. Nice feature would be – auto-add path to sitemapx.xml.gz in the file robots.txt :)

Hi guys,

Thanks for this much-needed development on the plug-in!

Support for the Multi-Lingual Pack would be a really nice thing to have (see codesweeper’s post above.)
I first created my sitemap without any support for it, and obviously Google wouldn’t follow any of the URLs (URL rewriting is used to specify the language used: eg. domain.com/en/section/post). In my experience, if Google can’t follow just one URL, if will discard the whole sitemap, making the whole thing somewhat pointless!

Cheers

flatazor: I agree. Support for MLP would be sweet indeed. Maybe not in the initial release, but definitely on the roadmap somewhere.

I just installed this plugin on my site and I have a question.

I took a look at sitemap.xml and all my links begin with https… probably because my textpattern directory is https://site/textpattern

Is there a way to force it to normal http during the creation of the sitemap?

> Is there a way to force it to normal http during the creation of the sitemap?

The simple answer is ‘No’.

Looking into the code I see that frontpage and section pages are created with leading http:.
But for single articles $url = permlinkurl($article); is used.

So you have to develop your own string replacement or cut the permalink at the left and add http:.
Read about string ltrim ( string $str [, string $charlist ] ) in the PHP documentation.

Somebody offering a little help with this PHP routine?

Sorry for the inactivity – I got bogged down with school. I think I’ll have a version to test out tonight. Edit: Done! I just need to clean it up a little, then it should be ready for testing.

typeshige – around line 203:

			$out = str_replace('https://', 'http://', $out);
			$tmp = gzwrite($file,$out);

I have came across this sitemap plugin for Wordpress. Would it be possible for anyone to create a a similar plugin for Textpattern?

jm · 2008-05-18 08:53:11

Hey all – care to test jmd_sitemap?

Ruhh, you can create a non-XML sitemap using a combination of article_custom and if_different. This should get you started.

If you are talking about asy_sitemap then please try jmd_sitemap instead — it’s an updated version of asy_sitemap.

If you are talking about jmd_sitemap then I’ll John-Michael handle your question :)

When I click on the Extensions tab all I get is a white page saying:

Restricted Area

I should have access rights to everything on my blog, I’m the admin user. Any ideas?

rsilletti · 2009-03-11 03:27:45

arglborps – If you are using the plugin presented in this thread, it is outdated and it will probably do that. The admin privs need to explicitly defined, which is relatively new compared to this original work. There is a post about it that was done by Mary that I can’t find at present, given she has over 600 pages of them, but if you page thru this thread it should get you to a more recent model that is current enough to use. jmd_sitemap? if you’re already using that you probably should ask in that thread.

Hi all (and Sencer!),
I’m still a bit new to TXP, but not Google sitemaps. I’ve been reading through these 14 pages of information and am quite confused now. I have downloaded the plug-in: ASY_sitemap. I’m wondering if there is now a singular, difinitive, instruction for dummies like myself?

Thanks for creating this plug-in.
