Adding some additional urls to my sitemap.

I want to add some additional urls to my sitemap just for all showthread pages.

So currently i have www.domain.com/forums/f10/topic/

I want to add www.domain.com/forums/f10/topic/?hl=de

www.domain.com/forums/f10/topic/?hl=es

etc. for 28 additional languages.

How hard is this to do, would this be done via an add-on?

You can duplicate vBSEO Sitemap Generator code or ask a developer to handle this. I personally don't think that this is a necessary feature for vBSEO Sitemap Generator as usage will be too low.

So I can duplicate the code, and save it and add it as an add-on...

Sorry, this wasn't meant to be in this forum, i agree i am a specific case.

Hello Dave,

you can modify vbseo_sitemap_functions.php file for that.
FIND:

PHP Code:

$vbseo_stat[$archived?'at':'t'] += vbseo_add_2urls( 


add above:

PHP Code:

$alanguages = array('de', 'nl', ... etc);
if(!$archived)
foreach($alanguages as $hl) {
$vbseo_stat['t']++; 
vbseo_add_url(vbseo_url_thread($threadrow, $p, $archived).'?hl='.$hl, $prior, $threadrow['lastpost'], $freq);
} 


Looks great, thank you. So this will add them to just showthread pages. As far as I can tell thats correct, just want to be sure.

Also i never got the email and the new sitemap doesn't show in my stats yet, is this due to it's size?

500,000 pages.

Yes, correct.

Also i never got the email and the new sitemap doesn't show in my stats yet, is this due to it's size?

Did you try to manually regenerate it in vbseo_sitemap/ interface?

Yes, that's where I generated it, the last generation shows as midnight last night etc. all stats show that the last run didnt exist, no email.

Yest I can access the sitemap files and see the new urls.

Thanks.

What were the last lines of output in browser when you created sitemap?

Im not sure it completed, the screen has been closed since.

A fresh run results in this.

Code:

[SECTION START] tags [1,690.6Kb mem used] [2,395s (+555s)]
[create sitemap file] filename: sitemap_13.xml.gz, number of urls: 7095 [1,705.1Kb mem used] [2,402s (+6s)]
[create sitemap in text format] part #14 [1,705.1Kb mem used] [2,402s (+0s)]
[create sitemap index] filename: sitemap_index.xml.gz, number of sitemaps: 13 [1,707.4Kb mem used] [2,402s (+0s)]

Please try to remove all files from data/ folder and recreate sitemap again. Also, I'd recommend to disable Text sitemap option, since Yahoo now supports xml sitemaps.

edit*

It's working, yay, except in the email log the numbers sugest tag translate urls are also being added.

lol, edit no 3, seems to have fixed itself, latest log is normal +translated showthread urls.

Thanks you for your help.

Great!

I have added all languages EXCEPT en! If you have forum in other language put en back and take out your own language.
It does not make sense for all to compile the same list.
