Sitemap Generator Forum

Hi there,

My default priority is 0.5 and update is monthly.  However, I wish my main page to be 1.0 and weekly.  I am employing the individual attributes in the Config.  The problem is that the root, and the index.htm cannot both be 1.0... without making ALL the files 1.0 and weekly.  See:

<url>
  <loc>[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]</loc>
  <priority>0.5</priority>
  <lastmod>2006-08-17T14:29:35+00:00</lastmod>
  <changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
</url>
<url>
  <loc>[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]</loc>
  <priority>1.0</priority>
  <lastmod>2006-08-17T18:37:09+00:00</lastmod>
  <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
</url>

When I put '[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]' or '[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]' in the individual attributes to specify the root, it thinks I mean for ALL the files in the website.  How can I fix this?

Hello,

you can use the following string in individual attributes option to select homepage ONLY:
[ External links are visible to logged in users only ]$

(notice $ character at the end)

Thanks!  BTW, i figured out why my one site wasnt' working... was a problem at my end / my server's end.

cheers

Hmm it won't work though.  I checked and I do have ver2.2.  Here's what I've got:

[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]$,,weekly,1.0
[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]

and the output:

<url>
  <loc>[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]</loc>
  <priority>0.5</priority>
  <lastmod>2006-08-17T14:29:35+00:00</lastmod>
  <changefreq>monthly</changefreq>
</url>
<url>
  <loc>[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]</loc>
  <priority>1.0</priority>
  <lastmod>2006-08-18T16:17:48+00:00</lastmod>
  <changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
</url>

What am I doing wrong?

Hello,

please try to add it without "http://" part, as I specified in the example.

It is not working.  I just want to have both the "[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]" and "[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]" be at priority 1.0 instead of the default 0.5. 

Can the software not do this?  Why is this so hard to set up?

Also I'm noticing that even though I've specied "Use server's response" for last updated, it produces the current time, for all files.

How can I fix these problems?

Hello,

please let me know your generator instance URL/login so that I can check that:

Also I'm noticing that even though I've specied "Use server's response" for last updated, it produces the current time, for all files.

Sitemap Generator inserts current timestamp in case if server doesn't return "Last-modification time" header (which is the case for all dynamically generated pages, for instance).

Hi Oleg / Admin,

Just wondering if you got my PM?

cheers

Got it

I simply want to set a different priority for the homepage [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]. [ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]$,,,1.0 also doesn't work for me. I also tried othe variations and failed. Did I miss something?

Hello,

please try the following to set individual attributes for the domain root:
www.domain.com//$,,,1.0(notice double slash after domain name)

Hi Oleg

I want to set individual attributes for the index page of a folder, however, following variations didn't work on my site. Is there any other option?

[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]$,,,1.0
[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]$,,,1.0
dir/$,,,1.0

Thank you.

Hello,

this should work:
dir/$,,,1.0if it doesn't, please let me know your generator URL in private message

Oleg, I sent you a pm. Please check, thanks.
