[Tutorial] Google Sitemap with Ditto

http://modxguides.com/modx1x/google-sitemap-with-ditto

Here ya go. I need to get commenting and such on the site, but well see.

Excellent tutorial! Please note that if you are using Ditto 2 you don’t need the tv prefix and descendentDepth is simply depth.

Edit made

Do we have your permission to put this tutorial on wiki? Thanx in advance!

Hi, I tried this Ditto approach after not succeeding with the [[Sitemap]] snippet.

Interestingly I am getting exactly the same errors!

see http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,5754.0.html

Woot great stuff neon-eddy, a great testimony to Ditto’s versatility
Sure belongs in the wiki !

@lukwe: Try it without setting the page to be xml.

@lukwe: Try it without setting the page to be xml.

That’s how I get to see the error:
[tt]PHP error debug
Error: explode() [function.explode]: Empty delimiter.
Error type/ Nr.: Warning - 2
File: /user0/htdocs/modx/manager/includes/document.parser.class.inc.php(724) : eval()’d code
Line: 195[/tt]

If I leave it as xml I only get a blank/empty page.

If I make the same Ditto call from a regular HTML page with template and no

[tt]<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>..[/tt] stuff, I do get the output.

The Ditto call is: [tt][[Ditto?parents=`15,258`&tpl=`DittoSitemap`&dateSource=`editedon`&display=`all`&sortBy=`createdon`&depth=`4`&showInMenuOnly=`1`]][/tt]

the DittoSitemap chunk is:
[tt]<url>
<loc>[(site_url)][~[+id+]~]</loc>
<lastmod>[+date+]</lastmod>
<priority>[+priority+]</priority>
</url>[/tt]

I plan on writing more good works, and for future things, yes, you have my permission for this and all tutorials, maybe just give me a link to my company / project site http://wavestatic.com / http://webbake.com respectively

To those getting goofy errors make sure your priority template variable looks like this. (attached image)

for debugging purposes I would set the doctype to be html, once is spits out good xml, then switch it.

I finally got it right; when I pasted from your tutorial I added a closing tag for XML, which is actually not in the sitemap schema.

I also had to put a ’&dateFormat=`%Y-%m-%d`’ in the Ditto call, ’cause the Google Sitemap checker was complaining...
