FoF Sitemap

LagunaLife

[deleted] Simply install the extension manually, with the command:

composer require flagrow / sitemap

What happens is that later I accidentally deleted the file "sitemap.xml", and I waited a few days but it was not generated 🙁

[deleted]

LagunaLife Right. If you deleted the sitemap.xml file, then it must have been there to start with, so that could explain it. Can you disable the extension, check to ensure no sitemap.xml file exists in the root of flarum, then re-enable ?

Test by loading the sitemap.xml file directly in a browser, and see if this reflects the true posts in your forum.

To be clear, sitemap.xml is dynamically generated, and should never be created by hand as per https://discuss.flarum.org/d/14941-flagrow-sitemap/80

IanM I think you forgot to change the title.

FriendsOfFlarum written flagrow on commands but fof sitemap is written at title?

clarkwinkelmann

fakruzaruret nether494 please be patient. Because not every FriendsOfFlarum member is a moderator on this forum, they can't update the first post themselves. I have now copied the latest README from GitHub to the first post.

nether494 can you share the output of your php flarum info ?

nether494

@clarkwinkelmann please remove composer require flagrow/sitemap and change by composer require fof/sitemap because I have broke my forum

@IanM I have this error

Flarum encountered a boot error (Error) Class 'FoF\Sitemap\Providers\ResourceProvider' not found thrown in /home/deje2074/forum.batocera.org/vendor/flarum/core/src/Foundation/Application.php on line 426

Hi, I love this extension, but I got one problem that I am facing. This does not add the "Pages" extensions's pages' links into the sitemap. :/

clarkwinkelmann

dumi_dev it should. Make sure you have the fof/sitemap and the fof/pages extensions installed and not older non-FriendsOfFlarum versions.

If it still doesn't work, can you share your php flarum info output ?

EDIT: after investigation it turns out it was indeed not working. See post below with update.

dumi_dev

clarkwinkelmann Thanks heaps for that! I will test it out soon!

[Edit: Can confirm the fof/pages issue (dumi_dev ) is resolved. Also I can now see the tags in the sitemap too, which I couldn't see before. Thanks @clarkwinkelmann !!!]

Released version 0.4.0

Fix compatibility with fof/pages. Requires the newly released version 0.4.0 of fof/pages to work
Fix compatibility with tags which were no longer listed in the sitemap since version 0.3.0
Cleaner discussions URLs when the slug is empty
Added /all to the sitemap when the discussion list isn't set as the index page

Update with

composer require fof/sitemap

And if you are using FoF Pages, you also need to do:

composer require fof/pages

Kakifrucht

Found a bug with handling German Umlaute äöü. I have a user with one in their name, however the Flarum URL for the user swaps the umlaut to their non umlaut counterparts, which this extension doesn't recognize. This gave me a search console warning.

tankerkiller125

Kakifrucht How did the user get one into their name? The validation logic for usernames only allows Latin characters and numbers and the underline.

Kakifrucht

tankerkiller125 Interesting, the user was created back in the beginning of 2016, so that might be the reason. I will change the name manually then, thanks.

Google Search Console is giving me "Sitemap could not be read, General HTTP error", upon reading the above posts I found that sitemap.xml is generate on fly, so I used php flarum fof:sitemap:cache --write-xml-file to generate the file and placed it in /public but still same error

clarkwinkelmann

r4nchy what happens when you try accessing the sitemap via a browser? Are you able to share the link publicly?

While not related to the error, if you decide to go with the "disk mode", don't forget to schedule the command so that the file gets updated.

r4nchy

clarkwinkelmann When I tried to access the https://example.com/sitemap.xml via browser, it will open up the .xml file
Yes the link can be accessed even without login

I even tried moving it to /public/world/sitemap.xml and then point the Google Search Console to it, but same error

clarkwinkelmann

Version 0.5.0 was released with support for customized named routes. This makes the extension compatible with Custom Paths. There are no other changes. There's no need to update immediately if you are already on 0.4.0 and don't need this compatibility.

IanM

0.5.1

Use new Console extender
Add settings modal
Set default to runtime
For all modes other than runtime, the relevant command is registered with the scheduler
Provide selector from schedule run frequency - default daily
Requires flarum/core beta.13
Requires the Flarum Scheduler to be correctly configured

Updating

composer require fof/sitemap
php flarum migrate
php flarum cache:clear

IanM hi, i have cron available directly from the cpanel.
My forum is small so I should be using runtime mode.
How do you recommend setting up the cron? 1 time a day?
If yes, what would be the command to send to add the cron process?
Thanks so much.

IanM Wouldn't be better to remove these settings and introduce only one universal mode - paginated runtime mode? As multiple sitemaps like sitemap-page_1.xml (which contains discussions with ID between 1-1000) and sitemap.xml containing links to all these sitemap-pages (all generated on fly). This should work for forum with any size (up to 50kk discussions), does not need cron, it is always up-to-date and does not require any configuration. It will also allow to ping Google after new discussion is added using https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/submit-URLs with URL to correct siemap-page (based on discussion ID).
