Google XML Sitemaps Generator for WordPress ============================================================================== This generator will create a sitemaps.org compliant sitemap of your WordPress blog. Currently homepage, posts, static pages, categories, archives and author pages are supported. The priority of a post depends on its comments. You can choose the way the priority is calculated in the options screen. Feel free to visit my website under www.arnebrachhold.de or contact me at himself [at] arnebrachhold [dot] de Have fun!

Simply add your function with add_action to the list and the plugin will execute yours every time the sitemap is build. Use the static method "GetInstance" to get the generator and AddUrl method to add your content. Sample: function your_pages() { $generatorObject = &GoogleSitemapGenerator::GetInstance(); //Please note the "&" sign! if($generatorObject!=null) $generatorObject->AddUrl("http://blog.uri/tags/hello/",time(),"daily",0.5); } add_action("sm_buildmap","your_pages"); Parameters: - The URL to the page - The last modified data, as a UNIX timestamp (optional) - The Change Frequency (daily, hourly, weekly and so on) (optional) - The priority 0.0 to 1.0 (optional) =============================================== Adding additional PriorityProviders This plugin uses several classes to calculate the post priority. You can register your own provider and choose it at the options screen. Your class has to extend the GoogleSitemapGeneratorPrioProviderBase class which has a default constructor and a method called GetPostPriority which you can override. Look at the GoogleSitemapGeneratorPrioByPopularityContestProvider class for an example. To register your provider to the sitemap generator, use the following filter: add_filter("sm_add_prio_provider","AddMyProvider"); Your function could look like this: function AddMyProvider($providers) { array_push($providers,"MyProviderClass"); return $providers; } Note that you have to return the modified list!
