That was exactly what it was. Most grateful for your help.

Was this an inspired hunch or did you have some positive indication that outgoing packets were being compressed? Other than the garbled output I was getting with rah_sitemaps gzip enabled, that is. I am arguing with the hosting company who are insisting it’s code related (i.e Textpattern or a plug-in)

In relation to this? It’s shouldn’t be a problem if they are compressing pages on fly. It just means pages are compressed where applicable.

If you want see if the pages are being compressed, look at the HTTP response headers you are getting, particularly Content-Encoding field.

Highest possibility for you getting what appears to be binary output. Basically used my long time penthouse guest. The only premium windowed room in my wagon. Hunch, lucky — as real as Santa.

Hi. First of all, thanks for this grat plugin.
A quick question: My customer asks me what is the frequency for the update of the generated sitemap? is it automatic?
Thanks in advance

The sitemap is generated each time the URL for it is visited. This means that, once submitted to a search engine, the sitemap will be crawled at whatever frequency the search engine deems to be suitable.

I would imagine that if new pages are added frequently, then search engines will re-visit the sitemap URL more frequently to add the new pages.

The sitemap generated by the plug-in includes a timestamp showing when each page in the site was last modified.

Ah… more gold. Haven’t a clue what he’s talking about (and I don’t need to know), but it reads like poetry.

springworks hits the mark. Sitemap generation is instantaneous, and works exactly like that.

The same guest, Mr. Brain, is still living in my two window penthouse, but despite my straight edge lifestyle, he is living his intoxicated mornings on the edge. Damn those mycotoxin hillbillies smuggling moonshine.

Thanks for replying
With this information I can answer to my client.

Hi Jukka, is there a way to exclude 2, 3 articles from the sitempa without having to resort to custom_fields, sections or categories?

In v1.3.0, you can exclude by any field. For example, by custom field:

hide_from_sitemap: 1

Or by ID:

id: 13, id: 17, id: 89

I would recommend using a custom field flag as it makes it easier to exclude future articles.

Thanks… It is only 2 articles which I wanted to exclude as they can only be viewed on the front page of their sections. Creating a custom field would just be less economical at this stage.

Adding link to 1.3.0 for completeness: github.com/gocom/rah_sitemap/tree/1.3.0

Hey Jukka – how’s it going?

Couple of things:

1 – Which version should I use? Its 1.2 on your website, but 1.3 on github?
2 – Have you ever thought of adding the option of multiple sitemaps? I think it is becoming more common these days – for example I have a client at the mo who wants to submit to Google News… but it needs a news only sitemap – not the rest of the website.

Still a great plugin though, one of the must haves :)

nm… just playing with rah_external_output – looks like you already got it covered :)
