A sitemap can contain about 50 000 items and be no more than x MB.</li> <li>Search engine ping. The plugin notifies search engines each time your sitemap is updated.</li> </ul> <h2>Installation</h2> <p>Installation is done with the script/plugin script:</p> <pre> <code> $ script/plugin install git://github.com/christianhellsten/sitemap-generator.git </code> </pre> <p>After installing the plugin you need to:</p> <ul> <li>Configure the plugin (config/sitemap.yml)</li> <li>Include a call to the <strong>sitemap</strong> method from each model you want to include in the sitemap</li> </ul> <h2>Configuring the plugin</h2> <p>A configuration file (config/sitemap.yml) is automatically created by the installation script.</p> <p>Below is a sample configuration file, which also contains the default values for the models:</p> <pre> <code> domain: aktagon.com limit: 5000 priority: 1 change_frequency: weekly </code> </pre> <p>The options:</p> <ul> <li>domain: before using the sitemap generator you need to tell the plugin the domain where your application is deployed. This is because the sitemap must contain the full <span class="caps">URL</span>, not just the <span class="caps">URI</span>, of all resources.</li> <li>limit: specifies how many model instances you want to include in the sitemap</li> <li>priority: specifies the priority of the model</li> <li>change_frequency: specifies how often the data changes: always, hourly, daily, weekly, monthly, yearly or never</li> </ul> <p>You can find a more comprehensive description of these concepts on the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sitemaps">Wikipedia page on sitemaps</a></p> <h2>Configuring ActiveRecord models</h2> <p>Each model you want included in the sitemap must call the <strong>sitemap(options)</strong> method.</p> <pre> <code> class Post &lt; ActiveRecord::Base sitemap end </code> </pre> <p>The default options for each model are taken from the configuration file (config/sitemap.yml). You&#8217;ll most likely want each model to have a different priority and change_frequency. The plugin allows you to override the default options as shown in this example:</p> <pre> <code> class Post &lt; ActiveRecord::Base sitemap :change_frequency =&gt; :weekly, :limit =&gt; 1000, :priority =&gt; 0.5 end </code> </pre> <h2>Order</h2> <p>The plugin will automatically order the data using the most appropriate Rails magic column, which is the first of the following columns it can find: updated_at, updated_on, created_at or created_on.</p> <p>You can override this behavior when calling the sitemap method:</p> <pre> <code> class Post &lt; ActiveRecord::Base sitemap :order =&gt; 'points DESC' end </code> </pre> <h2>Usage</h2> <p>After configuring the plugin you can generate the sitemap with rake:</p> <pre> <code> $ rake sitemap:generate </code> </pre> <p>You can also generate the sitemap programatically like this:</p> <pre> <code> SitemapGenerator::Generator.run </code> </pre> <h2>Scheduled updates with cron</h2> <p>Open the cron configuration with the following command:</p> <pre> <code> $ sudo crontab -e </code> </pre> <p>Add the following:</p> <pre> <code> PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin SHELL=/bin/bash # m h dom mon dow command # Update the sitemap every day at 24:00 00 00 * * * cd /var/www/xxx/current &#38;&#38; RAILS_ENV=production rake sitemap:generate </code> </pre> <h2>Author</h2> <p><a href="http://christianhellsten.com">Christian Hellsten</a> (<a href="http://aktagon.com">Aktagon Ltd.</a>)</p></div> 2010-01-01T00:00:00+02:00 http://aktagon.com/projects/jquery/in-place-edit/jquery-in-place-edit-plugin <h1>jQuery in-place-edit Plugin</h1> <div class="entry"><p> The jQuery in-place-edit plugin is an easy-to-use and customizable in-place-edit plugin.
