hi vincent,

thank you very much for reply. That’s a good idea. I’ve decided to separate them into 20,000 URL sitemaps.

Thanks again

Hi Pulasthi.
100,000 posts is much, but however you should consider one thing before going further with what you want to do. This is quoted from the google sitemap guideline:”
A Sitemap file can contain no more than 50,000 URLs and be no larger than 10MB when uncompressed. If your Sitemap is larger than this, break it into several smaller Sitemaps. These limits help ensure that your web server is not overloaded by serving large files to Google.”
So it would be better to break the sitemap into smaller sitemaps containing less than 50,000 links.

hi,

Thank you so much for the great work. I’m trying to make a sitemap of more than 100000 posts. Since this script uses an array to store all the sitemap data, the process stops when memory limit exceeds. I’m trying to build it at once with out adding to an array. Please let me know if you have any suggestions on that regard.

Thank you

Thanks for fixing the plugin. I tried it on the new version of FlatPress 0.812 and its works fine except the first post is listed twice in the sitemap.xml file.

I removed this line of code prior to the WHILE loop to remove the duplicate.

$cats[] = array(
“loc” => $actual_link,
“changefreq” => “monthly”,
“priority” => “0.6″
);

How do I tell if the ping was successful since the print messages are now commented out?

Any plans to update the non-pluigin version of your tool with the new priority settings and other changes?

Thanks for your quick fixes to make it work on FlatPress 0.812.

Thanks for pointing these errors to me.
I think that the problem with the google ping is that the xsl page is in reference and only accepts absolute path.

I whould work on that to include the absolute path of the plugin folder.

I have use the only available hook that is available for this job (’publish_post’). It should normally trigger when a post is publish.

Thanks for updating your sitemap generator and for making it a plugin.

The GooglePing is always failing with a status of 0.
I get it to work by editing google_sitemap.class.php and changing fp-plugins/sitemap/style/sitemap.xsl to http://www.vincentlecluse.com/flatpresssitemap/sitemap.xsl

Is something different in the file or is there a problem with how it is reference?

I also notice the sitemap.xml file is only generated when an entry is not flagged at a draft and “save & continue” is clicked. The sitemap.xml is not generated when “Published” is clicked. This second feature is no big deal because it gives me some control when an sitemap is generated,

Thanks for such a handy tool.

Hey Oleg,

you can as from now. I have uploaded it since yesterday, but as it had the same name as the previous, my server was catching it.

Have renamed it to flatpress_sitemap_generator_new.zip
