Miscellaneous Hacks - TFSEO Google Sitemap Generator (URL rewriting support)

Google's sitemap with the URL rewriting of TFSEO.

If you dont know TFSEO look at: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=173738

All credit goes to Superjeff, TFSEO'S creator, and i hope he can include and improve this code to merge it seamlessly into TFSEO.

READ CAREFULLY:
ONLY WORKS WITH METHOD 2 OF TFSEO (MEDIUM), with URL STRUCTURE SET TO DIRECTORY (THE FIRST ONE)

---------------------------------------


1. Add this line to your htaccess rules:

RewriteRule (.*)\.xml(.*) $1.php$2 [nocase]


2. Open sitemap.php and fill the required data.


3. Upload sitemap.php to the root of your forum.


4. Write in browser www.yourfoum.com/sitemap.php to generate the xml google sitemap.


About the rewrite rule:
What this does is it turns on the rewrite rule (allowing you to modify how URLs are handled, essentially) and adds the logic that allows a file.php to be intepreted as file.xml.

This now means that if you put sitemap.xml into your browser you'll be viewing the output from sitemap.php and that's crucial because now when Google looks for sitemap.xml it's viewing live data from your PHP script. This means that your sitemap.xml file will never be inaccurate.

So now you only must go to

http://www.google.com/webmasters/too...um/sitemap.xml

each you time you want to tell google to index the changes of your sitemap. The xml is generated by the php code on the fly so is always correct


limitations: Writes only home, forums and threads urls (i think is enough for most uses).

-----------------------------------
v1.1: Added parameters for Home, improved defaults value for frequency and priority.

I get that error, it could connect successful to the mysql, but im getting that error. :/

I think this plugin is not ready for urls different than www.xxxxxxx.xxx

I suggest you to wait for the next release of TFSEO, because his creator agreed to include and improve my code to work seemlesly with TFSEO.

He also agreed to include some code i wrote including stopwords for urls, with smart options.
With this, we wont need much more to improve the seo of our forums.

Hi - I just installed, and get the following error when trying to run the script:

The XML page cannot be displayed

Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The following tags were not closed: urlset. Error processing resource

As far as I can see, it has mapped most of the pages and just stops half way through another. Any ideas?

Thanks

Perhaps this mod is not compatible with 3.8?

Just a thought... does anyone know if this mod works in 3.8??
