[Tutorial] Google Sitemap with Ditto

Hi, I’d like to add my voice to the broken link chorus.
Sounds like a useful tutorial, would be great to have a look.

Thanks
Ian

You can find the article in Internet Archive on this link:

Or summary without explaing the variables in ditto call, on this link:
http://modxguides.com/modx1x/google-sitemap-with-ditto

I have followed the modxguides.com version and it works without problem.

I’m in the process of wikifying this tut. Will update this post when done.

UPDATE:

Done. Creating a Google sitemap with Ditto

This is great thanks, This is what i was looking for

Guess ditto has problem with modx revo. This is the answer when i try to access the page sitemap.xml:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84">
<p>&tpl either does not contain any placeholders or is an invalid chunk name, code block, or filename. Please check it.</p> and so on (many times)
</urlset>

Same problem in calling templates wherever i use ditto

Any idea?

i have a problem with the [+date+] is not showing in friendly URL but its ok in non-friendly(but the xml header is not included)...

http://www.alhafidhgtd.com/sitemap.xml (no dates)

http://www.alhafidhgtd.com/index.php?id=61 (seems ok but no xml header.

Hi,

I found this after too not having any luck with the sitemap snippet.

I have this ditto version working, but it’s displaying all the pages on my site, even the ones using templates I didn’t assign a TV too.

Is there a way to exclude documents using certain templates etc?

Thanks



And TV’s and templates are exactly as listed in the Tute.

I’m using evo 1.04

Thanks

The Ditto manual has instructions on filtering: try evaluating the TV this way.

Hmmm,

now it’s simply stopped working.

It was working yesterday and now it’s not.

I haven;t changed anything.

All I get is a

No Documents Found

message.

Very strange.

If the snippet is correct, it might be cached in this state. Try replacing the square brackets with [! !] (so [!MySnippetHere?foo=`bar` !] ) to stop MODx caching the result of the snippet call.

Edit: added backticks.
