Sitemaps for Roller 4.0
Hi,
I raised a question a couple of weeks ago about a sitemap generation whithin
Roller 4.0. and Dave asked which kind of sitemap, so I'll try to explain
which purpose is on behind.
I'm running Roller 4.0 for a corporate blog (
http://www.aparcalia.com/Observatorio) and I'm 'fighting against' Google for
having the whole site properly indexed and crawled. One of the must-task
whithin this process is to provide Google with a Sitemap of the site
including the complete list of URLs claimed to be crawled and indexed, and
here is where I would find very useful a 'sitemap-generator' whithin Roller
4.0. I know this feature is supported by other blog platforms, so I wonder
whether Roller has such a tool. I went through all documentation but didn't
find anything.
Cheers,
Jorge Martinez

Hi, of course, what I did is to create as Dave suggested a new page template
including following code:
*************************************** START ******************
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
<url>
<loc>$url.absoluteSite</loc>
<lastmod>2008-01-08T08:22:38Z</lastmod>
<changefreq>daily</changefreq>
<priority>0.250</priority>
</url>
<url>
<loc>$url.home</loc>
<lastmod>2008-01-08T08:22:38Z</lastmod>
<changefreq>daily</changefreq>
<priority>0.250</priority>
</url>
#set($pager = $model.getWeblogEntriesPager())
#set($map = $pager.getEntries())
#foreach($day in $map.keySet())
#set($entries = $map.get($day))
#foreach($entry in $entries)
<url>
<loc>$url.entry($entry.anchor)</loc>
<lastmod>$utils.formatDate($day, "yyyy-MM-dd")</lastmod>
<changefreq>daily</changefreq>
<priority>0.450</priority>
</url>
#end
#end
</urlset>
*********************** END ******************************************
It includes right now urls for home, weblog home and entries, but I guess it
can be improved including urls for days and categories at least. On the
other hand, it is though for Googlebot robot (I suggest to visit
http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.php for more information about the sitemap
protocol).
Since I will come back to it soon I will post the final code including
everything. I hope this helps at least,

Hi Jorge,
Is it possible for you to post the code for dynamic Sitemap generator from Roller ?
It will be of great help for others for dealing with Search Engine Companies.
Have a Great Day !
Thanks
Shyam Prasad

Hi again!
I managed to build the sitemap page as suggested and is working allright
:-). It is build dinamically at
http://mydomain/roller/weblog/page/sitemap.xml
Now I just wonder whether is possible to make it visible at
http://mydomain/roller/sitemap.xml since standard specifications require
sitemaps to be located at the highest level within the folder tree.

Roller does not have a sitemap feature, but you should be able to
write one yourself.
Here's how I would do it:
1) Use your existing aggregated site-wide "front-page" blog. If you
don't have one you can add the $site model to an existing blog (i.e.
add the classname below to the list of custom models in the blog's
Settings page).
org.apache.roller.weblogger.ui.rendering.model.SiteModel
2) Create a new page template in your blog with the name sitemap.html
or sitemap.xml, whichever is appropriate.
3) In your new sitemap page, use template code and the $url and $site
models to display all of links you would like to index in the
appropriate format for Google. See the Template Guide for docs on
those models.
4) Make Google aware of your site map using the appropriate technique.
Hope that helps...
- Dave
