Answered How to add priority TV to GoogleSiteMap Addon?

Hello,

I am relatively new to MODX Revo and cannot get around this.

I installed the GoogleSiteMap Addon (http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/GoogleSiteMap) and now want to set custom priorities for some documents I have created. In the changelog I found something of "added priorityTV" which means as far as I can tell that somehow it should be able to change the priority by adding a template variable. So thats what I did, assigned it to the already existing category "GoogleSiteMap", granted access to the templates I have been using, change the value and TADAAA nothing changed on my sitemap.xml.

So what am I doing wrong? How can I set a priority in my resources which is reflected in the sitemap created by the addon?

I tried to reach the code which has changed (https://github.com/splittingred/GoogleSiteMap/commit/4add84d3d028c0a3a3b1816d247d577e567c9cb8) but that did not help me.

Your insights are highly appreciated!

Thanks,
P

Any hints, please?

Anyone?

I guess that means nobody....

I'm not sure what your trying to do, when you say priority what exactly are you trying to achieve? The priority on how google indexes the xml again? Not sure I follow what you want to do .

In order to access the TV you created in the xml you need to add it to your tpl otherwise you will never see the value of that TV in the xml.

Hi benmarte,

thanks for your reply

Well the thing is that I am not exactly sure what I am supposed to do.

What I WANT to do is: Set page specific priority for the XML created by the GoogleSiteMap addon. Now according to its changelog this should be possilbe. As far as I understood the changelog (https://github.com/splittingred/GoogleSiteMap/commit/4add84d3d028c0a3a3b1816d247d577e567c9cb) it should be possible by creating a TV called "priorityTV", let my template access it, open my document, go to the template varaible tab, select the TV called "priorityTV" and change the value there.

Now thats exactly what I did but the XML created by the addon did not include my changed priority field so I must have done something wrong but I do not know what

Is the issue now maybe clearer?

Thanks again for your help!
