SiteMapMadeSimple with CGBlog- and/or News-Module?

[imeos]

Is there any way to get blog- and/or newsentries from the CGBlog- and/or Newsmodule processed by SiteMapMadeSimple?

Those modules regularly generate new pages (e.g. urls) for which an automatic addition to the sitemap.xml would make the most sense.

Hmmm, I'd like this as well. This module gives the main news URL but none of the news stories are included in the feed.

e.g. http://www.example.com/news/ is shown but

http://www.example.com/news/29/63/Outst ... ,JGDetail/ (a URL to a news story) is not shown in the feed.

I notice this feature has been requested since 2009:

Look here:

it's in german. copy the code in your SitemapMadeSimple Template, then it works.

Hey thanks! This worked well. This is what I ended up using in the template. Note for other users - the 2 instances of 63 below are the content_id of the news detail page on my site - you'll need to change this for your own site.

Code: Select all

{capture assign='junk'}{news number='1000'}{/capture}
{foreach from=$items item=entry}
{assign var=utmpNEWS value=$entry->moreurl|replace:'//':'/63/'|replace:'http:/63':'http:/'}<url> 
<loc>{$utmpNEWS}</loc> 
<lastmod>{$entry->postdate|date_format:"%Y-%m-%d"}</lastmod>
<priority>{$page->priority}</priority> 
<changefreq>{$page->frequency}</changefreq>
</url>
{/foreach}

a: why not use the 'assign' parameter to news (it works by default for all module calls, and is faster than captur):

Code: Select all

{news number=1000 assign='junk'}

b: Why not use the 'detailpage' parameter to news... so you don't have
to do the search/replace

Code: Select all

{news number=1000 detailpage='news_detail' assign='junk'}

[paulbaker]

Thanks Calguy

I think the answer to your "Why not use...?" is "Because I didn't know how..."

I am now using your technique and my code is

Code: Select all

{news number=1000 detailpage='news-detail' assign='junk'}
{foreach from=$items item=entry}
<url> 
<loc>{$entry->moreurl}/d,McFTDetail</loc> 
<lastmod>{$entry->postdate|date_format:"%Y-%m-%d"}</lastmod>
<priority>{$page->priority}</priority> 
<changefreq>{$page->frequency}</changefreq>
</url>
{/foreach}

That's neater. Note that I still need a suffix on the URL as shown in the code - /d,McFTDetail in this case - otherwise some of the styling doesn't seem to work.

Can this be tweaked to be used with SEO Tools module?

That module doesn't have a default template where i can easily insert this code?

Thank you this worked perfect! Below is the code I used, but I have a question I couldn't figure out... where does the number 89 come from on my News module? I noticed all the articles have that number assigned, so I had to replace the '//' with that 89 as below. Thank you.

Code: Select all

{news number=1000 detailpage='news-detail' assign='junk'}
{foreach from=$items item=entry}
<url> 
<loc>{$entry->moreurl|replace:'//':'/89/'|replace:'http:/89':'http:/'}</loc> 
<lastmod>{$entry->postdate|date_format:"%Y-%m-%d"}</lastmod>
<priority>{$page->priority}</priority> 
<changefreq>{$page->frequency}</changefreq>
</url>
{/foreach}

that would be the page id of your detailpage "news-detail"

Hi, I followed the instructions I've found in the many posts about this subject and got it all working, however the actual sitemap.xml file is not updated while it has 0777 write permissions (checked with FileZilla).

This is my SiteMapMadeSimple template code for who is interested :

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84
 http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84/sitemap.xsd">

{foreach from=$output item='page'}
<url>
  <loc>{$page->url}</loc>
  <lastmod>{$page->date|date_format:"%Y-%m-%d"}</lastmod>
  <priority>{$page->priority}</priority>
  <changefreq>{$page->frequency}</changefreq>
</url>
{/foreach}
{news number=1000 detailpage='nieuws' assign='junk'}
{foreach from=$items item=entry}
<url> 
<loc>{$entry->moreurl}</loc> 
<lastmod>{$entry->postdate|date_format:"%Y-%m-%d"}</lastmod>
<priority>{$page->priority}</priority> 
<changefreq>{$page->frequency}</changefreq>
</url>
{/foreach}
{assign var='foo' value=$mod}{CGBlog detailpage='blog' assign='junk2'}{assign var=mod value=$foo}
{foreach from=$items item=entry}
<url> 
<loc>{$entry->detail_url}</loc> 
<lastmod>{$entry->postdate|date_format:"%Y-%m-%d"}</lastmod>
<priority>{$page->priority}</priority> 
<changefreq>{$page->frequency}</changefreq>
</url>
{/foreach}

</urlset>

The sitemap-file content is showed correctly on the "info" tab in the SiteMapMS admin page. All news articles and blogposts are in the sitemap with the correct URL (I can copy/past them in my browser and end up on the correct page with correct styling).

When I verify http://www.mysite.tld/sitemap.xml is see only the list of actual pages but not the news articles and not the blogposts.

Preferences:
Generate a static sitemap.xml file : YES
Dynamically update the static xml file when content is changed : YES

I've also clicked "Save Sitemap" button on the Info-tab, but without success of updating the static sitemap file.

Any idea what the reason might be ? Thanks for your feedback.

PS : I'm using 1.11.4 "Fernandina" with the latest versions of all modules.

You did chnage a page to set an event te recreate the sitemap?
What is your system information?

Grtz. Rolf

[myleen99]

Rolf, thanks for the tip !

The sitemap.xml file is indeed automatically updated when a new page is created or modified. I had tested everything except this.

This topic is now closed for me.

As I can see from my own post on this thread last year, I was able to get this to work... but for some reason, now, I keep getting an error saying unknown tag "news"

I have the exact same code as last time (except for the replacement), but for some reason it doesn't like the "news" tag...

Code: Select all

{news number=1000 detailpage='Detail' assign='newspages'}
{foreach from=$items item=entry}
<url> 
<loc>{$entry->moreurl}</loc> 
<lastmod>{$entry->postdate|date_format:"%Y-%m-%d"}</lastmod>
<priority>{$page->priority}</priority> 
<changefreq>{$page->frequency}</changefreq>
</url>
{/foreach}

Any thoughts anyone?

Nope, I also tried the old cms_module calling... but doesn't work

Code: Select all

{cms_module module='news' detailpage='new_page'....

...tried the original example offered with capture, but still nothing

Code: Select all

{capture assign='junk'}...

[calguy1000]

The module name is News not news
{news} is a shortcut we added for backwards compatibility, but probably does not work from the admin interface.

{cms_module module=News} should work.
