Luis Delgado	Tuesday 05 April 2011 10:39:15 pm Hi, I'm trying to make my site be indexed in the news section of the Google News Feed. to make this possible I have two choices: 1. Make a special XML News Site Map complying with their statements. 2. Mi URL's must have at least a 3 digit unique Identifier. Because the first one I couldn't simply make it work (with the googlesitemapgenerator Extension, just never made it work) I am Trying to make the URL's show their object ID at the end but I can't seem to find how. Checked filters but it seems it will just replace X text for new one... Im lost and the site is loosing Google indexation, its a news site. Cheers GOOD 4 ALL
Marko Žmak	Wednesday 06 April 2011 4:57:03 am Hi Luis, here's an idea how you could solve your problem... The sitemap generation functionality could be also achieved using eZP templates without the extension. Something like this: create a special layout called for example sitemap_xml, make it use sitemap_xml.tpl template, and set the appropriate content type in sitemap_xml.tpl generate the apropriate xml headers for the sitemap, and also include {$module_result.content} where it should be in the template for the full view of your front page do this logic: if the current layout is "sitemap_xml" then generate the xml for the sitemap, else display the normal code for the front page Then your sitemap xml should be available on the link like this: /layout/set/sitemap_xml/content/view/full/2 -- Nothing is impossible. Not if you can imagine it! Hubert Farnsworth

The problem is Google wont recognize it... I have checked what the problem may be and found that special characters truncate the code, including quotes, accents, etc. So I'm stuck... Google news feeds need this map or the 3 digit code in the URL, so I was thinking about this second option... And it's not that I want an "out-of-the-box" solution it's just that right now Im (still) not an expert on EZ Publish and its difficult for me to find enough information to solve my problems. I really appreciate your help for both of you. Cheers GOOD 4 ALL
