Integration of EXT:dd_googlesitemap

Since version 4.2.0 EXT:news supports creating sitemaps using the extension dd_googlesitemap.

Configuration

After installing dd_googlesitemap you can create sitemaps for the news records by calling the URL https://www.yourdomain.tld/index.php?eId=dd_googlesitemap&id=1&sitemap=txnews&singlePid=123&pidList=456.

The following parameters need to be configured properly:

singlePid

Define the page id which is used to show the news record. The links in the sitemap will point to this page.

pidList

Define the page ids on which the news records are saved.

type

By adding the optional argument &type=news a news sitemap is used instead of a default sitemap type. Check out https://support.google.com/news/publisher/answer/74288?hl=en for details.

Integration

Use the configured URL and add it to the scheduler task of dd_googlesitemap.
