Hello! It will be really great if there can be a way to make a Google sitemap.xml file of our FUDforum's categories, topics and posts. My experience that all the sitemap.xml files I had loaded in the http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/ get very quickly and regularly spidered by google. I hope there is some way to do it or that Ilia mayadd this feature.

use FUDAPI to make this file or just make it manually.

Here's a little file I wrote to do that:

<?php
include ("GLOBALS.php");

$dbh=mysql_connect ("$DBHOST", "$DBHOST_USER", "$DBHOST_PASSWORD") or die ('No Connect: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ("$DBHOST_DBNAME");
$query = "SELECT thread_id, MAX(`post_stamp`) from `fud26_msg` group by thread_id";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die ("$admtext[cannotexecutequery]: $query");

echo "Writing forum sitemap to the file<br><br>";
while( $row = mysql_fetch_array($result) ) {
$thread_id = $row["thread_id"];
$post_stamp = $row["MAX(`post_stamp`)"];
$post_time = date("H:i:s",$post_stamp);
$post_date = date("Y-m-d",$post_stamp);
$filetext = "<url><loc>" . $WWW_ROOT . "index.php/t/$thread_id/</loc>";
$filetext .= "<lastmod>" . $post_date . "T" . $post_time . "+00:00</lastmod><changefreq>weekly</changefreq></url>\n";
print $filetext;
}
?>


Just save the code into a php file and place it in your FUDforum directory.

Run the file from a browser, then view the 'Page Source'
You can copy (excluding the first line) and paste the info into your_forum_sitemap.xml file and Google should be happy.
(Make sure you have the site map protocol included at the top of your sitemap file - https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/docs/en/protocol.html )

I use PATH_INFO style URLs so my output is something like: http://www.mysite.com/forum/index.php/t/3422/
If you dont use PATH_INFO, you will need to change this line:
$filetext = "<url><loc>" . $WWW_ROOT . "index.php/t/$thread_id/</loc>";


to something like this:
$filetext = "<url><loc>" . $WWW_ROOT . "index.php?t=msg&amp;th=" . $thread_id . "&amp;start=0&amp;/</loc>";


I know it's a bit clunky and one of these days I'll get around to getting the script to write the sitemap file directly.

HTH,

Rush

I would appreciate if you guys can test and improve this solution so that it can be added to the next release.

This tool worked great, however perhaps it should check with the permissions, so that it validates all the threads as "Guest" or "Registered user" - Now it grabs everything on the site and a site such as mine, where 90% of the content is "private" and shouldnt be indexed by Google (Since it will just bump into error links) this script isn't overly helpful I am afraid.

I could of course manually alter the SQL to fit the proper forum_IDs where guest has access to, but I think a real sollution could be nice? It's above my head though, so I cant help with that one.

Yes, if you change
// Limit topics to what the user has access to.
	if ($auth_as_user) {
		$join = 'INNER JOIN fud30_group_cache g1 ON g1.user_id=2147483647 AND g1.resource_id=f.id
				LEFT JOIN fud30_group_cache g2 ON g2.user_id='. $auth_as_user .' AND g2.resource_id=f.id
				LEFT JOIN fud30_mod mm ON mm.forum_id=t.forum_id AND mm.user_id='. $auth_as_user .' ';
		$lmt  = '(mm.id IS NOT NULL OR (COALESCE(g2.group_cache_opt, g1.group_cache_opt) & 2) > 0)';
	} else {
		$join = 'INNER JOIN fud30_group_cache g1 ON g1.user_id=0 AND g1.resource_id=t.forum_id ';
		$lmt  = '(g1.group_cache_opt & 2) > 0';
	}


to this:

// Limit topics to what the user has access to.
        if ($auth_as_user) {
                $join = 'INNER JOIN '. $GLOBALS['DBHOST_TBL_PREFIX'] .'group_cache g1 ON g1.user_id=2147483647 AND g1.resource_id=f.id

Oh yes, there is another slight overlook also.
$filetext = "<url>\n";
                if ($FUD_OPT_2 & 32768) {       // USE_PATH_INFO
                        $filetext .= "\t<loc>${WWW_ROOT}index.php/t/${thread_id}/</loc>\n";
                } else {
                        $filetext .= "\t<loc>${WWW_ROOT}index.php?t=msg&amp;th=${thread_id}&amp;start=0</loc>\n";
                }

Should index.php really be written in clear? Shouldn't it be replaced by ${ROOT} or something? Like below:

$filetext = "<url>\n";
                if ($FUD_OPT_2 & 32768) {       // USE_PATH_INFO
                        $filetext .= "\t<loc>${WWW_ROOT}${ROOT}t/${thread_id}/${thread_title_SEO}/</loc>\n";
                } else {
                        $filetext .= "\t<loc>${WWW_ROOT}${ROOT}?t=msg&amp;th=${thread_id}&amp;start=0</loc>\n";
                }




With my SEO tweak the whole code looks like this now:

(inner joined msg table to get thread subject so i could mangle all chars away and lowercase it)

note: without tweaks to users.inc.t threads who start with a number will be interpreted as "&start=20" (20=number) and the sitemap link wont work, i fixed this with an is_numeric check in users.inc.t, still would break on a thread where subject actually is a number, but well, I can live with that. - Another fix could be to just start the SEO subject with a -.

PLEASE note that my str_replace code is UGLY and should be corrected by someone that is properly skilled with str_replace or regular expressions. I have no clue about that.

Just noticed something else:
This line:
$post_stamp = date('H:i:s\TY-m-d', $r[1]);

Should most likely look like this:
$post_stamp = date('TY-m-d\H:i:s', $r[1]);

Also perhaps rip out the T to make it valid

The time and T are all valid according to http://www.w3.org/TR/NOTE-datetime
Should probably be date('Y-m-d\TH:i:s', $r[1]);

Try this version (not the latest, but the latest that should still work with 3.0.1):
