Does this addon include sitemap generation for your Better Blogs addon? Xenporta? If not, any plans on adding integration for sitemap generation for them?

It includes the Better Blogs add-on
It does not include XenPorta

Installed, fantastic. Wanted to add a review as requested but.... where? I see nowhere to do it here. This is the first add-on I installed on a brand new production XF install after coming over from vB.

must say it didn't really jump out at me, thanks Brogan

@Rigel Kentaurus, Many thanks for this addon. How do I exclude Baidu and Xandex from the robots.txt as mentioned in the new features?

In the options -> robots.txt there is an option for that

What exactly is meant by

• Include all pages in a forum (every single page with threads will be included in the sitemap. Else, only the main forum URL will be)
• Include all pages in a thread (every single page with posts will be included in the sitemap. Else, only the main thread URL will be)

Sorry, I'm not sure if I get it.

Sorry, I'm not sure if I get it.

Say, this thread has 34 pages
That is 34 urls

If that option is not checked only the first page of the thread will be included

I'm getting Google and Bing coming up with lots of sitemap errors Sitemap contains urls which are blocked by robots.txt

Give me some examples

Deciding to use this one or the one from xenutils - does this also build sitemap for Xenmedio, Showcase, Xenking directory, better blogs?

ah and if I do make the switch, would it hurt any seo from xenutils to this sitemap?

If so i'd rather use this one

I've just updated to the latest version and resubmitted my sitemap, I shall see how it goes

The sitemap does not really impact your SEO, it only impacts the discoverability of the pages. You won't be better ranked if you have a sitemap, but you might get indexed faster.

It does not do XenMedio or Showcase, it does do Better Blogs

 

[TnT]

That's already supported actually

Thanks for the hint. Implemented in my addons and works like a charm .

 

[Vidmarc]

I've installed and run the sitemap and cron, but I'm not getting any sitemap files. Any suggestions?

 

[Rigel Kentaurus]

make sure the sitemap/ folder is chmod 777
check your error log in the ACP

 

[Vidmarc]

Yes, sitemap folder is 777.

What am I looking for in Error Log? The last listed error:

Zend_Http_Client_Adapter_Exception: Read timed out after 10 seconds - library/Zend/Http/Client/Adapter/Socket.php:512
Generated By: Unknown Account, Today at 6:46 AM

 

[Rigel Kentaurus]

well, if the sitemap generation failed because of any permission error, it would've been on the server error log
Could you try running the cron again? Does it says successfully generated?

What is the URL to your site?
