Sitemap for multiple domain

[chamnap]

I have a rails 2.3.2 application which handles around 5 domains. I just can't figure out how to use well. I need to create a new rake task to generate sitemap for a domain, put it in a separate folder. I need a rake task to generate sitemap for all domains, put them in a separate folder (for each domain).

Any idea?

Hi chamnap,

You are in luck! If you had asked a little while ago, it would have been very difficult, but recent changes I've made make it very easy.

I'm still working on the API, so this consider this experimental stuff. Put this in your config/sitemap.rb and refresh your sitemaps. You'll get an exception at the end, but the sitemaps should be created ok.

Alternatively you can add require 'sitemap_generator' to the script and run it with ./script/runner config/sitemap.rb and you won't get an exception, but you also won't see the stats output.

SitemapGenerator::Sitemap.yahoo_app_id = false

SitemapGenerator::Sitemap.sitemaps_path = "en/"
SitemapGenerator::Sitemap.default_host = "http://www.en.example.com"
SitemapGenerator::Sitemap.create do
  add '/english-site'
end

SitemapGenerator::Sitemap.sitemaps_path = "fr/"
SitemapGenerator::Sitemap.default_host = "http://www.fr.example.com"
SitemapGenerator::Sitemap.create do 
  add '/french-site'
end

SitemapGenerator::Sitemap.sitemaps_path = "ru/"
SitemapGenerator::Sitemap.default_host = "http://www.ru.example.com"
SitemapGenerator::Sitemap.create do 
  add '/russian-site'
end

Alright, thanks for reply. I figured out by go through the code base, but a slicely different approach.

It seems it doesn't work in a loop. The first domain is generated correctly in sitemap file, but the rest doesn't (only example.com).

What do you mean "it doesn't work in a loop"? You'll have to paste your code for me to understand what you mean. The example I gave works fine, as does this:

SitemapGenerator::Sitemap.yahoo_app_id = false

%w[en fr ru].each do |domain|
  SitemapGenerator::Sitemap.sitemaps_path = "#{domain}/"
  SitemapGenerator::Sitemap.default_host = "http://www.#{domain}.example.com"
  SitemapGenerator::Sitemap.create do
    add '/whatever'
  end
end

Well, the above code works fine, except in the sitemap file of the second and third domain name, the generated domain name is http://example.com/.

Hmm, yeah the host in the sitemap file e.g. sitemap1.xml is correct, but the host in the index file is not.

I'll take a look when I get a chance.
