Of course I am also open for feedback on my version. Joing forces to make the ultimate general Zenphoto sitemap plugin is also an option of course.</p> <p>I have rougly looked at it:<br /> - Most important first: Your version misses a proper password check for password protected albums. Checking for "password = ''" in the query is not enough as sublevel albums inherit from toplevels!<br /> - If I am not mistaken &lt;sitemap&gt; is meant only for grouping sitemaps of several site in one file. You use it for every single link? Well, I guess one of these SEO tricks...;)<br /> - You do not support the renaming of the Zenpage theme files. There are constants available.</p> <p>You might want to look at my version as you do some stuff like the path encoding for slashes or rewrite/none rewrite link we have already convenient functions for. </p> <p>Using lastchange for pages/articles is a good idea. I forgot about thattotally, I will add that to mine, too.</p> <p>Update: You might want to note that your plugin is PHP 5.1.1+ only because of the date constant DATE_W3C. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4394&page=2#post-42488 Wed, 07 Apr 2010 09:00:04 +0000 timo 42488@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>It looks like there's been a lot of development on this in the last couple weeks, so I'm a little late to the game. I wrote a revision to the original plugin to implement page, news, album, and image support and have the lastmod report the last updated change or the latest comment. Here's what I have:</p> <p><a href="http://t413.com/news/zenphoto-site-map-seo" rel="nofollow">http://t413.com/news/zenphoto-site-map-seo</a></p> <p>I hope it's still somewhat relevant, and I'd be happy to help with improving it more. I've debugged it with google's sitemap evaluation tool. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4394&page=2#post-42464 Tue, 06 Apr 2010 07:49:41 +0000 acrylian 42464@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Yes </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4394&page=2#post-42463 Tue, 06 Apr 2010 07:15:55 +0000 reneesanguinetti 42463@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Thank-you acrylian. My sitemap is generated when I use myurl/sitemap.php. So then I submit myurl/sitemap.php to the search engines instead of myurl/?sitemap. ? </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4394#post-42461 Tue, 06 Apr 2010 05:47:22 +0000 acrylian 42461@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Yes, the new plugin consists of two files<br /> sitemap.php -&gt; root of Zenphoto were rss.php is for example. This is the actual sitemap file that is called via <code>&lt;zenphoto&gt;/sitemap.php</code> and generates it.<br /> sitemap-extended.php -&gt; put into <code>zp-core/zp-extensions</code> (since it is offficial). These is the actual plugin that provides the functions for sitemap generation.</p> <p>As mentioned above the split was necessary because of an internal check for album password protection that otherwise does not work.</p> <p>Note it has only been tested with the nightly and for Zenpage support it requires the nightly because of a change. It is never recommended to mix files from releases. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4394#post-42460 Tue, 06 Apr 2010 05:27:53 +0000 reneesanguinetti 42460@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Hello,</p> <p>I have been using the site map plugin 2.0 with Zenphoto version 1.2.8 and easily installed it by placing the sitemap.php file in my plugins folder.</p> <p>I would like to try your new zenphoto-sitemap-extended. I downloaded the nightly (4-5-2010) as suggested and put that sitemap.php file in the plugins folder (also enabled sitemap in admin), but when I tried to access my site it returned errors. Also in the admin plugins "sitemap" simply shows up as "sitemap" it isn't bold followed by a version number like the other plugins. Do I need other updated files besides the sitemap.php? </p> <p>Thank-you </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4394#post-42359 Fri, 02 Apr 2010 08:23:30 +0000 acrylian 42359@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>@Tenzer: I wanted to let you know that I have decided to make my sitemap plugin extension an official plugin. It is named "zenphoto-sizemap-extended" so it is not confused with yours (of course it is noted that it's based on your plugin). It's in tonight's nightly. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4394#post-42002 Sun, 21 Mar 2010 10:20:11 +0000 acrylian 42002@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>I have uploaded my changes: <a href="http://zenphoto.maltem.de/uploaded/zenphoto-sitemap-extended2.zip" rel="nofollow">http://zenphoto.maltem.de/uploaded/zenphoto-sitemap-extended2.zip</a><br /> Now there is also support for the &lt;lastmod&gt; and &lt;changefreq&gt; (the latter manually only). Also I cleaned up the code to use some function you did manually originally although we have functions for it and additonally there is now finally a "sitemap clear button" on the admin overview page. Because of the strangely not defined <code>zp_loggedin()</code> function anyone with overview rights can clear the cache.</p> <p>Please take a look if you have the time! It's also running on that demo site (called as said via /sitemap.php). </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4394#post-41999 Sun, 21 Mar 2010 08:17:37 +0000 acrylian 41999@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Well, those function inside Zenphoto are the problem. You can see within the <code>image_album_statistics</code> plugin how this check should be done using <code>checkAlbumPassword()</code>. But somehow the <code>zp_loggedin()</code> function that is used within that causes said fatal error.</p> <p>I am actually wondering about that. I will have to consult sbillard on that next week. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4394#post-41998 Sun, 21 Mar 2010 03:11:49 +0000 Tenzer 41998@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Okay, I get you now. Thank you for clarifying. I don't think the check would be that hard to do inside the plugin. It's probably a matter of first getting all 'root level' albums without passwords, then get their sub-albums without passwords, and so on. It will require a SQL query for each level of albums there is, but I don't think that is that bad.<br /> If there is already functions inside Zenphoto to do this check, then it would of course be better to use those. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4394#post-41997 Sun, 21 Mar 2010 01:04:59 +0000 acrylian 41997@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>No, as written the password breach is for the albums. It is not enough to check for <code>password = &#39;&#39;</code> in a query as it will be empty for an subalbum whose parent is protected. But the subalbum in Zenphoto inherits the protection from the parent, thus an extra check is needed. </p> <p>The split into two files is necessary because somehow one internal function for this check does not work with the single file solution as it is not available and caused a fatal error.</p> <p>Of course if you don't use album passwords/album user assignments you don't need that but we want to have a general plugin, don't we?</p> <p>The usage is still very easy, drop the zenphoto-sitemap.php plugin into the <code>plugins</code> folder and then drop the sitemap.php file into the root. Done. Not really that complicated. If the plugin is disabled sitemap.php returns a 404 not found. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4394#post-41995 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 16:43:34 +0000 Tenzer 41995@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>@acrylian Hmm, I haven't had a use for Zenpage yet, and hence I haven't played with it, so I'm not really sure what that means? Does the plugin breach the security of Zenphoto/Zenpage?</p> <p>I would really like to keep the plugin in one file in order to keep it simple to use. Simply drop it into the correct folder, activate the plugin and it should work. Why would there be a need for two files? </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4394#post-41989 Sat, 20 Mar 2010 12:08:06 +0000 acrylian 41989@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>@tenzer: I am working on some more changes. I just noticed that I completly overlooked that it had a password breach (subalbums inherit from parents!). Sadly this required to split the plugin into two files: The plugin file and a sidemap.php file that works like the rss files. Will shortly post it for you to look at. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4394#post-41571 Tue, 09 Mar 2010 01:31:24 +0000 acrylian 41571@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Alright...;-) The code for the button on admin overview is already there (commented out currently) but I could not get it to display on that page and currently don't know why that is so. Well, even developers missed something sometimes..;-)</p> <p>Btw, you/we could think about changing the plugin to use the object model framework later. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4394#post-41560 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 14:58:17 +0000 Tenzer 41560@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>@acrylian: I've only had a short look at the code, and it looks interesting. I have to get a bit closer look at it, and test it out. I'll include it in the next release if everything works out fine, thank you :) </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4394#post-41548 Mon, 08 Mar 2010 10:27:06 +0000 acrylian 41548@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>@Tenzer: In case you are interessted I have a little extended your sitemap plugin to cover Zenpage items as well. I also added caching within the standard html_cache folder. It runs on my demo site: <a href="http://zenphoto.maltem.de/?sitemap" rel="nofollow">http://zenphoto.maltem.de/?sitemap</a> and download for now is here: <a href="http://zenphoto.maltem.de/uploaded/zenphoto-sitemap-extended.zip" rel="nofollow">http://zenphoto.maltem.de/uploaded/zenphoto-sitemap-extended.zip</a>.<br /> Only thing missing is a admin overview button to clear the cache manually right now. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4394#post-40962 Mon, 22 Feb 2010 13:21:32 +0000 Tenzer 40962@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Right, thank you for the hint acrylian. Otherwise I was thinking about storing a serialized array with all the current URLs in the database, and then update that once in a while. That would limit the amount of database queries significantly. But static files are most certainly more efficient :) </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4394#post-40955 Mon, 22 Feb 2010 09:20:07 +0000 acrylian 40955@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>@Tenzer: YOu might want to look at the static_html_cache plugin about updating static files (there are similar functions for the rss feeds, too). </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4394#post-40951 Mon, 22 Feb 2010 08:43:47 +0000 Tenzer 40951@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>You're welcome :)</p> <p>I generally tried to make the plugin as easy to use as possible, by not requiring write permissions anywhere on the file system or any mod_rewrite rules and such, but I guess some checking could be made to see if a certain path is writable, and in that case generate a static sitemap. The difficult part would then be when to update the sitemap, but I'll have to look further into that. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4394#post-40942 Mon, 22 Feb 2010 02:01:00 +0000 makar 40942@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Thank you for the plugin!</p> <p>I'd like to ask if it wouldn't be much trouble to provide an option to choose whether sitemap is to be created in gzipped form (sitemap.xml.gz) or not (sitemap.xml).</p> <p>Thank you </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4394#post-40903 Sat, 20 Feb 2010 12:01:06 +0000 Tenzer 40903@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>After a long wait, I've gotten around to updating this plugin again, this time with a large rewrite, hence the new version number 2.0.0: <a href="http://tenzer.dk/zenphoto-sitemap-2-0-0" rel="nofollow">http://tenzer.dk/zenphoto-sitemap-2-0-0</a></p> <p>This version does not really bring any new features, but instead gives performance improvements, and lowers the amount of database and HTTP queries needed from the search engines.</p> <p>I do have a few ideas for new features, which can be found on the issue tracker for the plugins GitHub page: <a href="http://github.com/Tenzer/zenphoto-sitemap/issues" rel="nofollow">http://github.com/Tenzer/zenphoto-sitemap/issues</a></p> <p>Let me know if you experience any issues with it, or if you have any feature requests! </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4394#post-29400 Thu, 26 Feb 2009 12:46:47 +0000 Tenzer 29400@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>The plugin has been updated again, in order to solve an issue when having folder or image paths with non-alphanumeric or international characters. You can find more information about it here:<br /> <a href="http://tenzer.dk/zenphoto-sitemap-102" rel="nofollow">http://tenzer.dk/zenphoto-sitemap-102</a> </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4394#post-28127 Sat, 24 Jan 2009 03:26:35 +0000 Tenzer 28127@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Hi all</p> <p>I have updated the plugin with two minor fixes. You can read the detailed information at my homepage: <a href="http://tenzer.dk/zenphoto-sitemap-101" rel="nofollow">http://tenzer.dk/zenphoto-sitemap-101</a></p> <p>jollywood, a sitemap was generated when you tried it out on my gallery, but your browser was simply interpreting the page as normal HTML, which means that it only showed the links. If you chose "View source" you would see the correct XML file.<br /> One of the changes in the new version is that the correct XML content type header is sent out, which informs your browser that it is receiving an XML file.</p> <p>The plugin doesn't specify any priorities any longer, since it didn't work out correctly before. In order for priorities to work correctly, all the URLs has to be in the same XML file, since the priorities are only compared with other URLs in the same XML file.<br /> Since that would be a larger piece of work that would need to be put into that, I just skipped out the priority part for now. It may be the next thing to do for the plugin.</p> <p>It's hard for me to specify the change frequency, as that purely depends on the activity in the gallery. Some logic to calculate how often new pictures are added, and how often new comments are posted would probably have to made then, which makes the plugin much larger than what I aimed it to be. I just wanted to have it as a file that is put into the Zenphoto plugin folder, and just works from there.<br /> The other approach to this would be that the administrator of the gallery simply specified the change frequency for each type of page (root, gallery, picture), and then some kind of interface would have to be made for this in the administration interface, but that is probably easier than coding the above described logic into the plugin. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4394#post-28119 Fri, 23 Jan 2009 17:56:56 +0000 jollywood 28119@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Tenzer: Thanks for taking time to write the plugin. I tried to see how the sitemap looks like in your site. I tried accessing <a href="http://gallery.tenzer.dk/?sitemap" rel="nofollow">http://gallery.tenzer.dk/?sitemap</a>. It didn't produce XML sitemap. It created something like:</p> <p> <a href="http://gallery.tenzer.dk/?sitemap=root" rel="nofollow">http://gallery.tenzer.dk/?sitemap=root</a> <a href="http://gallery.tenzer.dk/?sitemap=7" rel="nofollow">http://gallery.tenzer.dk/?sitemap=7</a> <a href="http://gallery.tenzer.dk/?sitemap=3" rel="nofollow">http://gallery.tenzer.dk/?sitemap=3</a> <a href="http://gallery.tenzer.dk/?sitemap=4" rel="nofollow">http://gallery.tenzer.dk/?sitemap=4</a> <a href="http://gallery.tenzer.dk/?sitemap=6" rel="nofollow">http://gallery.tenzer.dk/?sitemap=6</a> <a href="http://gallery.tenzer.dk/?sitemap=5" rel="nofollow">http://gallery.tenzer.dk/?sitemap=5</a> <a href="http://gallery.tenzer.dk/?sitemap=8" rel="nofollow">http://gallery.tenzer.dk/?sitemap=8</a> <a href="http://gallery.tenzer.dk/?sitemap=9" rel="nofollow">http://gallery.tenzer.dk/?sitemap=9</a> </p> <p>Reg. priority: Only the top URL should be 1.0; album URLs can be 0.5; and all pictures should be 0.5 or 0.4;</p> <p>In your program, there is a common code to set priority for all URLs. If it's set based on type of the page (front page, album, picture, etc), that would be nice. </p> <p>Also, there is no frequency mentioned. SEs will love to see the frequency so that they know when to come back.</p> <p>I haven't installed your plugin yet. I want to change the priority parm before installing it. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4394#post-26611 Sun, 14 Dec 2008 07:38:20 +0000 Tenzer 26611@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>I'm glad that you find the plugin useful and that it's helping you out :)</p> <p>Regarding that error, I have had another report from another user experiencing the same warning message. I don't think it has any effect, but the warning could probably be avoided by removing/commenting out line 64 of the plugin (<code>echo "&lt;priority&gt;1.0&lt;/priority&gt;\n";</code>).<br /> I don't understand why I don't get the warning message though... </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4394#post-26583 Sat, 13 Dec 2008 11:31:23 +0000 calipidder 26583@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Thanks very much for this plugin! I installed it yesterday and submitted in google webmaster tools, it was crawled right away, and it's already leading to additional traffic - I'm getting top 3 in google for many search terms now for the albums, where my blog was hanging around page 2 for the same terms. </p> <p>One warning that I have in google is the following, FYI:<br /> For ?sitemap=root<br /> All the URLs in your Sitemap have the same priority.<br /> All the URLs in your Sitemap are set to the same priority (not the default priority). Priority indicates the importance of a particular URL relative to other URLs on your site, and doesn't impact your site's performance in search results. If all URLs have the same priority, Google can't tell which are more important. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4394#post-26098 Sat, 29 Nov 2008 15:28:57 +0000 sbillard 26098@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Certainly, but since the developers will probably not be supporting it it might be more convenient for you to keep the download on your server. If that link will be constant we can provide it. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4394#post-26093 Sat, 29 Nov 2008 11:31:51 +0000 CMNYC 26093@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Any chance to include it in the download package moving forward? </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4394#post-26087 Sat, 29 Nov 2008 09:34:02 +0000 sbillard 26087@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Sitemap has been added to the plugins list. </p> http://www.zenphoto.org/support/topic.php?id=4394#post-26070 Sat, 29 Nov 2008 00:53:00 +0000 Tenzer 26070@http://www.zenphoto.org/support/ <p>Feel free to include it in the Zenphoto download package, or on the plugins page if you wish to. I would be thrilled if people would use it. </p>
