Hi,

Unfortunetly the http://ez.no/community/contribs/template_plugins/googlesitemaps_extension is not working as expected (despite some corrections that I made).

So, I am in the situation to look for a solution to create google sitemaps. I prefer a php web script that genarates the sitemap every time I run it. And ezpublish friendlly.

Any sugestions ?

What is the problem you are running in to with the extension? We implemented that successfully, and it seems to be working very well for us. We had to make a few settings changes to get the update frequency right, but it is good now.

I encountered the same problem actually, now that I go back and look at my code.

I made two adjustments to fix it:

In line 3 of design/standard/templates/node/view/googlesitemaps.tpl

{let $siteurl = 'www.sitename.com' )}

This change to hard code the site URL removed the double http://.

In line 13 of design/standard/templates/node/view/googlesitemaps.tpl

    <loc>{concat('http://',$siteurl,$node.url_alias|ezroot(no))|extlinkfix(del_layout)}</loc>

This change (from ezurl to ezroot) removed the siteaccess name and index.php from the URL on our installation, which uses URL siteaccesses instead of host name.

It looks like your solution would work too though.

thanks Mark

Your solution changing line 13 is better than my posted workarround changing sitemap.php.
You solved the problem where the problem it is.

thank you.
