Extension:AutoSitemap/de

The AutoSitemap extension automatically builds a "sitemap.xml" file at every page create/edit/delete event. Sitemap file helps search engines to observe your site’s pages. This extension is based on the precursing extension called "ManualSitemap".

Rationale
I do not have the possibility to update my sitemap via cron because of the hosting provider, and I also do not want to update it manually.

So I edited an existing extension to update the sitemap by itself at any page edit, create, delete, rename, upload, etc events.

Configure
There are some optional parameters that change the sitemap generation. You can set them in your LocalSettings.php.

Filename
You can set filename of sitemap by setting:

Setting base URL
By default all URLs in sitemap use $wgCanonicalServer (or $wgServer, if it doesn’t set) as domain prefix. If you want to set it to another one, you can change it manually by setting:

Search engines notification
You can notify web sites you want about the update of sitemap. Just write all notify URLs as array:

Sometimes web hoster does not allow the fopen command to call URLs (allow_url_fopen=false). If you can’t or doesn’t want to use notification, set this to empty array by deleting all lines between brackets.

Exclude types of pages from sitemap
You can exclude namespaces or exact pages from including them to sitemap:

Set page update frequency
You can manually specify the recommended frequency with which all addresses will be checked by search engine:

Available values are:

hourly daily weekly monthly yearly adjust - for automatic determination of frequency based on page edits count

Set page priority
You can manually specify priority for certain pages or namespaces:

Permissions
Your MediaWiki folder should be permitted for write operations ( with   or  ).

Htaccess, Nginx
If you want to see a human-readable sitemap, allow read access for sitemap.xsl file in your site config ( file or other).
