I have a Drupal 6 view that has several arguments. I want to add each unique set of arguments / page to the sitemap created by the XML Sitemap module in Drupal. I have a custom module that creates a menu item for each possible argument combination that is passed into the view, as there are a finite number of them.
I tried following these directions: http://drupal.org/node/507674 but that didn't work.
I then tried to add these links programmatically using this excellent comment: http://drupal.org/node/711100#comment-3150592
However, of the 150+ links I create in a loop of calls to xmlsitemap_link_save(), only 1 was ever saved. The link entry did not possesses any unique characteristics I could detect when compared to other entries that did not get added to the site map.
I build all the links in an array $links. Here is a typical array entry:
$links[] = array(
'type' => 'mymodulename',
'id' => '3000-10000',
'loc' => 'washington-dc',
'lastmod' => time(),
'changefreq' => 4600,
'priority' => 0.5,
);
I am trying to describe the URL:
example.com/washington-dc/3000-1000
I then loop the entire $links array to save each link:
foreach($links as $link) {
xmlsitemap_link_save($link);
}
Finally, all of this code is in the function:
mymodule_xmlsitemap_links()
which I call from hook_cron:
function mymodule_cron() {
mymodule_xmlsitemap_links();
return true;
}
I have confirmed that:
- My hook_cron() is called during cron
- Only one link from $links is saved
- The setting for total number of links to process in the sitepmap module settings is 250, more than enough for my $links array (~150) and the existing site map (47 links)
- The log shows the XML sitemap generation running and no errors are reported
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
