Video-Directory Remixed

Sure. you can use the extra-urls.txt file to manually add urls to the sitemap.

Or, you can make a custom sitemap plugin (or ask the mod author to made one). There are examples in the /addons/ folder. a basic sql query is really all you need to write.

This is a quick and dirty one I made for video directory. The bad part is that the URL's for video directory are pretty search engine friendly (include category titles and video titles in the URL). I got lazy and excluded those, but this will pull all your active categories and videos that have not been reported and include them in your sitemap which is better than nothing I guess. Hope somone with some free time can update this code to include the SEO friendly URL's for video directory.

PHP Code:

<?php
    $vba_video_url = $vbseo_vars['bburl'];

//pull video categories that are active
    $lnkg = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "videocategory WHERE active = 1");
    while ($lnk = $db->fetch_array($lnkg))
    {
        $url = 'video.php?do=viewdetails&categoryid='.$lnk['videocategoryid'];
        if(VBSEO_ON)
            $url = vbseo_any_url($url);

          vbseo_add_url($url, 1.0, $lnk['lastupdated'], 'daily');
    }

// pull videos that have not been reported
    $lnkg = $db->query_read("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "video WHERE reportthreadid = 0");
    while ($lnk = $db->fetch_array($lnkg))
    {
        $url = 'video.php?do=viewdetails&categoryid='.$lnk['videocategoryid'].'&videoid='.$lnk['videoid'];

        if(VBSEO_ON)
            $url = vbseo_any_url($url);

          vbseo_add_url($url, 0.5, $lnk['lastupdated'] ? $lnk['lastupdated'] : $lnk['dateline'], 'weekly');
    }

?>

You should be able to wrap the vbseo_any_url() function about the $url variable. If a CRR is defined, it will pull those style URLs.
