Add-on for vBadvanced Gallery URLs

Progress , but there is still a couple of problems.
The URLs get added to the files, but the showimage.php URLs are missing the 'i=' part
For example:

Code:

http://gallery.wirelessadvisor.com//showimage.php?900

should be

Code:

http://gallery.wirelessadvisor.com/showimage.php?i=900

I see where to add that in your php file, but I wanted to point it out for other people who want to use this.

Also the URLs added have that double forward slash // can I just remove the trailing forward slash from $gallery_url ?

Thanks for pointing that

The correct one shall be

Code:

<?php
	# vbSEO Google Sitemap Generator - PhotoPost vbGallery Add On.
	# Written by Lizard King (http://www.ayyas.com)
	# Full HTTP path to your gallery root (without trailing forwardslash ex: 'http://www.ayyas.com/galeri'; )
	$gallery_url = 'http://www.ayyas.com/galeri';
	
	$mods = $db->query("SELECT catid,title FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "adv_gallery_categories ORDER BY `displayorder`");
	while ($mod = $db->fetch_array($mods))
	{	
		$url = $gallery_url.'/browseimages.php?c='.$mod['catid'];

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

  		vbseo_add_url($url, 1.0, '', 'daily');
	}

	$mods = $db->query_read('SELECT imageid,dateline FROM ' . TABLE_PREFIX . 'adv_gallery_images');
	while ($mod = $db->fetch_array($mods))
	{	
		$url = $gallery_url.'/showimage.php?i='.$mod['imageid'];

		if(VBSEO_ON)
			$url = vbseo_any_url($url);
  		vbseo_add_url($url, 1.0, '', 'daily');
	}
?>

It works great now. Thank you for making this!

Ah yes, you have your Gallery on another domain. You'll have to add it to a separate Google Webmaster entry. You would need to find some way to separate the Gallery URLs into their own sitemap file(s).

I have run into a new problem with the Gallery URLs. After they are submitted to Google, I get this error in my account for each one:

This url is not allowed for a Sitemap at this location.

URL not allowed


Google has detected some URLs that appear to be at a higher level or different domain than the Sitemap file location. If you receive this error, try moving your Sitemap file to a higher location in your site and submitting again. For instance, if your Sitemap is listed under http://www.example.com/mysite/sitemap.xml, the following URLs are not valid for that sitemap

• http://www.example.com/ - it's at a higher level than the Sitemap
• http://www.example.com/yoursite/ - it's in a directory parallel to the Sitemap

The problem is my sitemap files are under
http://forums.wirelessadvisor.com
(gallery URLs are appended to these sitemap files)

while the Gallery URLs are all under
http://gallery.wirelessadvisor.com

Any idea how to resolve this issue?

See my previous reply.

Or, you could convert everything over to www.wirelessadvisor.com.

Home: http://www.wirelessadvisor.com
Forums: http://www.wirelessadvisor.com
Gallery: http://www.wirelessadvisor.com/gallery

Actually, physically on the server that is already my directory structure.

True, I remember that now. You could just change your gallery URL to:

http://forums.wirelessadvisor.com/gallery

I don't think that will work either because then those URLs actually resolve to:
http://www.wirelessadvisor.com/forums/gallery which doesn't exist.

the /forums/ and /gallery/ directories are parallel.

Ahhh yes. Quite the conumdrum.

Might be time to try to consolidate your CT server.

Home: WirelessAdvisor.com - Cellular, PCS, and wireless phone service information.
Forums: WirelessAdvisor.com - Cellular, PCS, and wireless phone service information.
Gallery: http://www.wirelessadvisor.com/gallery

This is my structure and everythşng is working pretty good.
the only difference is my forum is www.mysite.com/forum.html

Is it possible to have this add-on create a separate .xml.gz sitemap file that contains only the Gallery URLs? And, write that file to a specified directory?

I am not sure about it. I will give it a try but it may be though to accomplish.
