[Sitemaps Addon] How I (almost) made it work

macolu

I tried to figure out why the plugin didn't work "out of the box" for me.

Actually, when calling /plugin/sitemaps/build to rebuild the sitemap, this error is triggered:

Parameter 1 to SitemapsPlugin::Controller_Build() expected to be a reference, value given

To get rid of it, just remove the ampersand in class.sitemaps.plugin.php on line 69:

public function Controller_Build(&$Sender) {

becomes:

public function Controller_Build($Sender) {

(BTW I don't really see the point with this ampersand, since PHP always uses references for objects.)

Then it works! Well, at least a sitemap gets generated :-)

Additionaly, I don't understand how the 'LastDiscussionIndex' thing is supposed to work:

$DiscussionPostIndex = (int)date('Y',$DiscussionPostDate) + (int)date('d',$DiscussionPostDate);

Let's say today is January 31. Current index value is 2042 (2011 + 31). Sitemap won't be updated until index value increases... Which won't happen until January 31, 2012!

Where did I get wrong?

Just downloaded this plugin and while it creates a sitemap, it is far from correct.

If anyone has messed with this lately, I'd love to hear about it!

I made it work just by removing the & .
