permalinks site map - hidden records

Hi Tim,

I'm not too knowledgeable about permalinks, but try using the following in your  load records call and see if that helps.

'ignoreHidden' => true, // don't hide records with hidden flag set

Best,

Hi Tim,

Did Jerry's suggestion work for you?

If not, can you send me a link to the actual URL to the sitemap (reply here or email support@interactivetools.com) and details about the warnings in webmaster tools.

Thanks!

Hi Jerry / Damon,

Yes thanks - this works - no warning now in webmaster tools!

Reading more, I think both replaced permalinks (where $record['old']) and hidden records (where $record[hidden])  should be removed from the sitemap.

I should also set up something in the pages to identify more important pages, and those pages that change more frequently (but will save that for another time)

<?php foreach ($_permalinksRecords as $record): ?>
<?php if (!$record['old']): ?>
<?php if (!$record['hidden']): ?>
<url>

<loc>http://<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']; ?><?php echo $record['_link'] ?></loc>

<lastmod><?php echo date('Y-m-d', strtotime($record['updatedDate'])) ?></lastmod>

<changefreq>weekly</changefreq>

<priority>0.5</priority>

</url>
<?php endif ?>
<?php endif ?>
<?php endforeach ?>

Hey Tim,

Just caught this post...so your site maps are developed ONLY via permalinks and not by virtue of all outputted .php pages (created by CMS)?

Yep - really just an output of the permalinks table.  Seems to work fine for me, but I'm not expect here...

Cool...so...do you have an automated method for creating the permalinks pages or are you manually doing every single page? Thanks.

With most of my sites, I structure the site using a categories section - which in turn drives the navigation and the permalinks, then there's just some pages that may need manual additions.  Other sections that are more complex - shopping pages, blogs etc, are all multi-sections, so again the permalinks are automated.
