Support/Comments for SEO Strict URLs

Actually, the best way is to build URL’s without an initial symbol using $modx->makeUrl()...

$modx->makeUrl(12, '', 'param1=2&param2=1');

Nice! Thx, Jason.

Indeed, much better!

Hi,

a really handy plugin but I have errors with 404 page

heliotrope,

Have you tried getting the latest copy (1.0.1 I think) ? I had brought up the issue of non-404 headers to ApoXX, and it solved it for me

Please confirm you’ve got the MOST recent version (within the last week) and if not, please try and report back

sorry for the last reply

I confirm that I’m running the latest version
I’ve modified a bit the code to check id documentIdentifier==modx->config[error_page]
and then return a 404 header.

:-)

Hi

My site structure is like, mysite.com/some-page/ so if i want to use a sitemap it will parse it as mysite.com/sitemap.xml/ .I dont think SE bots will love it so is it possible to use a 301redirect for my site map only ? so it will parsed as mysite.com/sitemap.xml . Is this may work so SE bots read it as normal ? if yes can someone can share me the needed 301 code please.

Thanks

Look at the "Override TV Setup" in the instructions at:

http://www.modxcms.com/SEO-Strict-URLs-1335.html

Then set sitemap.xml to "Base Name" in the seoOverride TV. That is what I did and all works fine.

Hi Jesse

Is it like this

Input Type: DropDown List Menu
Input Option Values: Disabled==-1||Base Name==sitemap.xml||Append Extension==1||Folder==2
Default Value: -1

What is your modx version and also which sitemap plugin do you use please, thanks

Don’t change "Base Name" to sitemap.xml when setting up the seoOverride TV. Set it up exactly as he described it:

Input Type: DropDown List Menu
Input Option Values: Disabled==-1||Base Name==0||Append Extension==1||Folder==2
Default Value: -1

I am using 0.9.6 RC2 on the particular setup I am talking about, and I am using sitemap:

@tom41,

You might also want to read this: Template Variables

ok i created a snipplet called GoogleSiteMap_XML and paste the code in it.

created a tv as seoOverride and paste this code in it


created a doc, alias:sitemap.xml (but nothing in it)

now what must i do ? :’( please explain for a noob and not fluent english guy, thanks



@thanks sirlance

Here is the step by step instructions for getting the Sitemap Snippet working:

http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/SiteMap:_Google_sitemaps_in_MODx

In essence though, place the snippet call inside the content of the document you created, that has the alias, "sitemap.xml" Make sure this page has its content type set to "text/xml" in the "Page Settings."

The snippet call should look something like:


[!GoogleSiteMap_XML? &format=`sp` &excludeTemplates=`blank,OTHER_TEMPLATES_TO_EXCLUDE`!]

Then set the seoOverride for this page to "Base Name."
