QUESTION CDATA IN SITEMAP.XML

[Carrara]

Good evening

I am Brazilian, and I love that content manager! (Get-Simple)


I have a question in relation to sitemap.xml

I know that the file creation function is to: generate_sitemap () located in the \admin\inc\template_functions.php


I wanted to know how to include for example: <loc>Lorem ipsum dolore</loc> generate as follows: <loc><![CDATA["Lorem ipsum dolore"]]></loc>

Please help me.

You have to change the source or write your own function and use ->addCData instead of addChild

I did it, but when loading the admin / sitemap.php?refresh the page does not load

[shawn_a]

Well you have to change it a bit to create the element. See how it's done in other code that saved data like change data.php

[shawn_a]

PHP Code:

        $note = $xml->addChild('url');
        $note->addCData($url); 


You have to still add the element but also add cdata to it.
Not the easiest code but all we have for now.

Thank you, here in Brazil is 23:12, it's late.


Who can help me, I thank you.

I am creating several xml files, I will make integration between systems via XML and the good word of the cdata is required.

Please help me, I could not resolve and I am two days trying

[shawn_a]

Do you only need it for <loc> or all fields?

[shawn_a]

This generate_sitemap() will do what you want for the <loc> field.
The xml had to be changed to our SimpleXMLExtended to include the cdata function.

note that the i18n nav plugin uses its own function!

This will probably not work correctly though since the urls are already encoded, you probably have to entitydecode them in the cdata now.

PHP Code:

/**
 * Creates Sitemap
 *
 * Creates sitemap.xml in the site's root.
 */
function generate_sitemap() {

    if(getDef('GSNOSITEMAP',true)) return;

    // Variable settings
    global $SITEURL;
    $path = GSDATAPAGESPATH;
    
    global $pagesArray;
    getPagesXmlValues(false);
    $pagesSorted = subval_sort($pagesArray,'menuStatus');
    
    if (count($pagesSorted) != 0)
    { 
        $xml = new SimpleXMLExtended('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><urlset></urlset>');
        $xml->addAttribute('xsi:schemaLocation', 'http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9 http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd', 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance');
        $xml->addAttribute('xmlns', 'http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9');
        
        foreach ($pagesSorted as $page)
        {
            if ($page['url'] != '404')
            {        
                if ($page['private'] != 'Y')
                {
                    // set <loc>
                    $pageLoc = find_url($page['url'], $page['parent']);
                    
                    // set <lastmod>
                    $tmpDate = date("Y-m-d H:i:s", strtotime($page['pubDate']));
                    $pageLastMod = makeIso8601TimeStamp($tmpDate);
                    
                    // set <changefreq>
                    $pageChangeFreq = 'weekly';
                    
                    // set <priority>
                    if ($page['menuStatus'] == 'Y') {
                        $pagePriority = '1.0';
                    } else {
                        $pagePriority = '0.5';
                    }
                    
                    //add to sitemap
                    $url_item = $xml->addChild('url');
                    
                    $item = $url_item->addChild('loc');
                    $item->addCData($pageLoc);
                    
                    $url_item->addChild('lastmod', $pageLastMod);
                    $url_item->addChild('changefreq', $pageChangeFreq);
                    $url_item->addChild('priority', $pagePriority);
                }
            }
        }
        
        //create xml file
        $file = GSROOTPATH .'sitemap.xml';
        $xml = exec_filter('sitemap',$xml);
        XMLsave($xml, $file);
        exec_action('sitemap-aftersave');
    }
    
    if (!defined('GSDONOTPING')) {
        if (file_exists(GSROOTPATH .'sitemap.xml')){
            if( 200 === ($status=pingGoogleSitemaps($SITEURL.'sitemap.xml')))    {
                #sitemap successfully created & pinged
                return true;
            } else {
                error_log(i18n_r('SITEMAP_ERRORPING'));
                return i18n_r('SITEMAP_ERRORPING');
            }
        } else {
            error_log(i18n_r('SITEMAP_ERROR'));
            return i18n_r('SITEMAP_ERROR');
        }
    } else {
        #sitemap successfully created - did not ping
        return true;
    }
}

Why do you need cdata in sitemaps?
I am not sure if that is supported by search engines entirely.

Google says to use entity escape codes, not cdata.
