thanks in general for all the hard work you've done writing all these plug-ins, I just discovered your site, and am adding several to my MT4 installation.

However, the Template Installer plugin will not work for me (actually renders my site unusable - can't log into the MT interface). If I wanted to install the google sitemap template manually, where do the files go? I'm guessing the file, "google_sitemap.mtml" goes into the default_template folder, but where does "config.yaml" reside?

Cheers,

swanksalot, the template set (inluding the directory) should be uploaded to:

path/to/mt/plugins/TemplateInstaller/template_sets/

In this case, upload the "google_sitemaps" directory into the above location, then run Template Installer.

Regarding Template Installer rendering your site unusable, that is odd. If you are still having such problems, post full details on the Template Installer entry.

Hi Mark:

I'm currently using the sitemap on the MT wiki at http://wiki.movabletype.org/Canonical_Google_Sitemap_template. Which appears to working... Does this sitemap have more features?

I've installed your template installer and love it.

I'm confused about what you mean by "Note that this template is set to NOT publish automatically when index templates get rebuilt. For performance reasons, you should leave that option unchecked. This means that from time to time you should open the template and choose "Save & Publish"."

If we're doing 3-5 entries a day how often should the template be saved and published?

By defaut what is the name of the file your sitemap creates?

I assume I would have to delete the Canonical Google Sitemap template first. Correct?

I am a total newbie and would like to thank you for making this template available. I followed the instructions and did not notice any visual changes to my blog. I am assuming this is normal and your template does its magic behind the scenes?

Correct, there is no visual impact on your blog.

But you can submit your sitemap URL to Google via:

https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/

Thank you so much for your contributions to the MovableType world! You are priceless! When I go to Google to publish my site map, it asks me for the file name of my site map. Where do I find that? Thanks again.

Great template, thanks!!! Installation worked like a charm.

How can I rebuild this sitemap.xml file once a day without having to plublish it manually?

Thanks for the template -- it was a valuable starting point for creating a custom sitemap for my own site.

I wanted to pass on one concern though: you use the 'lastn="99999"' attribute in several places, presumably to insure that Movable Type enumerates everything, and while the first occurrence is inside an 'MTArchiveList' tag, the other occurrences are inside 'MTIfArchiveTypeEnabled' tags.

I'm guessing that's a typo, and that all the 'lastn' attributes were meant to be inside the 'MTArchiveList' tags. But I don't know Movable Type well enough to say for sure, so I won't. :-)

Cheers,
Jeff

Yo busque en google : movable type site map, y me dio muchas paginas , con muchos codigos, vi esta y he leido con mi mal ingles como yo he podido, y me parecio buena, segui leyendo, y esto fue lo que hice:

1º Instale el Template installer, me parecio bueno, y cuando lo instale me fije que habia una aplicacion que se llamaba template exporter...

2º Compre template Exporte por solo unos 22 euros mas o menos, cogi mis 8 blogs personales y les hice copia de todos los templates que yo he ido modificando "Una gran idea".

3º Subi el plugin de Sitemap a mi servidor por ftp.

4º Active el plugin de sitemap en todos mis blogs mas de 8 blogs.

5º Puse los 8 sitemap.xml en google.

Yo empece a las 11:50 ahora son las 12:27, y he terminado todo y posteado esto , solo me queda dar las gracias, y desear suerte a todos los que se animen hacerlo.

Saludos.

can't get it to work... It sees the tags but outputs nothing (I do have data in my blacklist log).
