Hi,

Has anyone tried to produce a sitemap xml for google using ez ?

https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/docs/en/protocol.html

Could you share the template you've used ?

Hi Xavier!

I'm working on an extension right now that is smoewhat related to this.

I need to have the folder structure in a xml-file for inclusion in flash-menus

So I made some operators for creating/cleaning a file and adding lines to it.

Then, in a template, I loop through the content structure and add lines accordingly.

Am I far off? Or this somewhat related to what you need?

Hi Felix,

Maybe, I just discovered the google site map feature and was wondering if it was possible to do it only with templates.

Why are you using an extension ? What couldn't you do only with the templates ?

I guess it could be done with templates, but it will be much faster with an opterator or an extension, that's for sure.

Hi Sergey,

How do you calculate the changefreq and the priority ?

If I understand it right, one of the benefit of sitemap is to set the priority of each page.

My idea was to lower the priority of the "empty" folders (ie that contains only a list of the sub-items) so it makes each page of each sub-item more visible.

For instance, on this forum, lower /community/forum/developer (mostly contains links to the real posts) so /community/forum/developer/google_sitemap... is more visible.

Does it make sense or am I plain wrong on this idea ?

Out of curiosity, have you seen a change on how fast new pages are better/faster referenced on google ?

Microsoft and Yahoo are adopting the Google sitemap protocol: http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9005148&intsrc=news_ts_head

Hi @ all,

after i tried most already existing eZ Publish extensions, I created a new project called GoogleSitemaps on projeczs.ez.no http://projects.ez.no/all2egooglesitemaps

I'd like to invite you to join this project.

This is currently implemented as an eZ publish 4.0 based on PHP5 cronjob which generates an XML file and saves it to a given location.

This is also usefull wenn creating larger sitemaps, so your're able to define a specific time, when the sitemap is generated.

It's performance is also quite good, because it doesn't use any modules like layout/set/...
The XML is generated directly with PHP5 DOMDocument as an UTF-8 XML document

<urlset>
  <url>
    <loc>http://www.all2e.com/loesungen/ez_publish</loc>
    <lastmod>2008-04-12T14:39:19+02:00</lastmod>
  </url>
<urlset>

Current parameters are:

[all2eGoogleSitemapSettings]
#Define Subtree to create Sitempa from
SitemapRootNodeID=2
#Define the XML file
Filename=sitemap.xml
#related to the eZ Publish root directory
Path=

[Classes]
#include or exclude objects of classes listed in ClassFilterArray
ClassFilterType=exclude

#setting array to include/exclude classes in sitemap
ClassFilterArray[]
#ClassFilterArray[]=folder
#ClassFilterArray[]=article
#ClassFilterArray[]=image
#ClassFilterArray[]=forum
#ClassFilterArray[]=...

The optional parameters changefreq and priority are not implemented yet, we might discuss about how to implement this.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Best regards

Norman Leutner
