Lack of interest Sitemap submission to Yandex

[GliX]

Please add a sitemap submission to Yandex (http://www.yandex.com/) for built-in sitemap.

A necessary change:

protected $_sitemapPingUrls = array(
    'Google' => 'http://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/ping?sitemap=%s',
    'Bing' => 'http://www.bing.com/ping?sitemap=%s',
    'Yandex' => 'http://ping.blogs.yandex.ru/ping?sitemap=%s'
);

I'd argue that it isn't "necessary".

I certainly don't need my sitemap submitting to Yandex.

Though I do see the benefit in being able to configure this in the Admin CP.

Would you consider changing your suggestion to encompass "Admin CP management of sitemap ping URLs"? Seems like it would then add the flexibility for any admin to add whatever ping URLs they like.

What is Yandex? Looks like some kind of European Google.

It's Russian specifically.

Yandex is more popular worldwide then Bing, which is supplied as standard: https://gigaom.com/2013/02/06/micro...mscores-global-search-stats-thanks-to-yandex/

That would be cool, but... https://xenforo.com/community/threads/sitemap-xml.78977/#post-796931

I don't really see how that post from Mike is irrelevant to what I said. I know there isn't currently an interface for this, I am suggesting that there should be one.

I have made my suggestion formally here: https://xenforo.com/community/threads/ability-in-the-admin-cp-to-manage-sitemap-ping-urls.83763/
