Adding FAlbum URLs to XML-Sitemap WordPress Plugin

As I mentioned on my previous post yesterday about Fixing FAlbum Plugin that I'm trying to add support for Google XML Sitemaps Plugin to FAlbum so that all URLs including albums, photos and tags would be added to Blog’s Sitemap which would be crawled by Google, Yahoo and MSN .
Actually, Google XML Sitemaps Plugin made the job much easier by providing simple WordPress add_action() to add the URLs, so you only need to add one function inside 'wp-content/plugins/falbum/wordpress-falbum-plugin.php' to accomplish the job !

Edit file wp-content/plugins/falbum/wordpress-falbum-plugin.php and add these lines before the add_action lines

  1.  
  2. function addto_sitemaps(){
  3.         global $falbum;
  4.        
  5.         #add FAlbum url to Sitemaps
  6.         function FA_xml_url($pfx=”){
  7.                 if( ($FA_xml_go=&GoogleSitemapGenerator::GetInstance()) == null) return;
  8.                 $FA_xml_go->AddUrl( get_option(’siteurl').$GLOBALS['falbum']->create_url($pfx) , time() , "always", 0.8);
  9.         }
  10.         #creates extra pages depending on the limit you set for
  11.         #photos and albums per page
  12.         function FA_xml_pages($tot, $limit , $pfx = ” ){
  13.            $pages = ceil( $tot / $limit);
  14.            for($i=1; $i <= $pages; $i++)
  15.                         FA_xml_url(   $pfx.'page/'.$i.'/' );
  16.         }
  17.         #creates photos urls
  18.         function FA_xml_get_photos(  &$photos , $pfx , $type = 'photoset'){
  19.                 global $falbum;
  20.                 $photo_title_array = array();
  21.                 for( $i=0, $max=count($photos[$type]['photo']); $i < $max ; $i++){
  22.                         $photo = $photos[$type]['photo'][$i];
  23.                         $photo_id = $photo['id'];
  24.                         $photo_title = $photo['title'];
  25.                        
  26.                         $photo_link = $falbum->_get_link_title($photo_title, $photo_id, $photo_title_array);
  27.                         $p = ceil(($i+1)/$falbum->options['photos_per_page']);
  28.                         FA_xml_url(  "{$pfx}page/{$p}/photo/{$photo_link}/");
  29.                 }
  30.         }

    Can the sitemap map things that are outside of WP? Photos, for instance?

    @whatisaurl : it’s a question to ask xml-sitemaps plugin support. however, you can add static pages manually and you don't need to add photos to sitemaps unless it’s for Google images search.

    The static pages won't get overwritten when I update?

    @whatisaurl : xml-sitemaps plugin store manually added static pages in the database so as far as you did not make any changes in the DB during the upgrade it will not change

    Hi! Whenever I paste your above script into wp-content/plugins/falbum/wordpress-falbum-plugin.php, it takes down my blog… running falbum 0.7.1 and sitemaps 3.0.3. Any suggestions? is it a pathing issue? (the blog sits at /blog, but it is actually at the root).

    @Matt
    Please copy and paste the code again, or replace all unicode (’‘) with '

    Thanks, I'll try– also, I didn't do your other updates from your other post… is it necessary to do that as well, or can I just do this one?
