Thanks for posting.
I use CGBlog, therefore made a minor modification:
Create template CGBlogSiteMap
Code: Select all
{foreach from=$items item=entry}
<url>
<loc>{$entry->detail_url}</loc>
<lastmod>{$entry->postdate|date_format:"%Y-%m-%d"}</lastmod>
<changefreq>never</changefreq>
</url>
{/foreach}
In Sitemapmadesimple:
Code: Select all
{* sitemap template *}
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84
http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84/sitemap.xsd">
{foreach from=$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}
{CGBlog showall="0" summarytemplate="CGBlogSiteMap"}
</urlset>
I noticed in Sitemap MS that, once edited the Sample-template, after submitting the changes, the template does not show up in the template overview (2nd tab). Creating a new template called Sample, gives an error saying that the template already exists although it does not show up.
Any ideas?

Thank you. I'm using cmsms 1.10.2 and the NewsSiteMap Template that I'm using for Google Webmaster Tools, looks like this...
Code: Select all
{foreach from=$items item=entry}
<url>
<loc>{$entry->moreurl}</loc>
{if $entry->postdate}<lastmod>{$entry->postdate|date_format:"%Y-%m-%d"}</lastmod>{/if}
<priority>1.0</priority>
<changefreq>always</changefreq>
</url>
{/foreach}
Works for me.
The only catch I have noticed when updating your sitemap is that for every change you make in your news template, you have to go back to the info tab under sitemap made simple, and re-save it. Then go to your browser window to see your updated sitemap.xml file.
Hope that helps
