Bug Sitemap URLS Missing [post_id] when Written

[neounix]

Hey!

Now working the site sitemaps, I notice when I generate a sitemap, for example for "Show Posts" where our showpost.php DBSEO URL has format:

[thread_title]-[post_id]/[forum_title]/post[post_count].html

The DBSEO URL is correct (in the above format), but the sitemap URL has a "0" where the [post_id} should be:

For example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
<url>
<loc>http://linode.unix.com/how-search-file-name-length-0/unix-dummies-questions-answers/post1.html</loc>
<lastmod>2009-06-25T19:55:02+00:00</lastmod>
<changefreq>yearly</changefreq>
<priority>0.2089</priority>
</url>
<url>
<loc>http://linode.unix.com/how-search-file-name-length-0/unix-dummies-questions-answers/post2.html</loc>
<lastmod>2009-06-25T20:06:20+00:00</lastmod>
<changefreq>yearly</changefreq>
<priority>0.2102</priority>
</url>

I was going to test these sitemap function (threads, posts and tags)... haha.. but I'm stuck in "next" mode and cannot kill the current manual build sitemap process (and when I leave the page, it simply resumes when I come back). So, I cannot "kill" a sitemap build after it is started and we are on file 13 of maybe 40 !!

I guess I can restart apache and clear this; but there must be a better way !

OK.. just confirmed that [post_id] is not being written (as mentioned above); but the [thread_id] seems OK.

I'm creating / testing different sitemaps separately (threads.. then posts.. then tags), each time only selecting one item (posts, threads, or tags) to build. This is the same way we submit to Google and Bing (manually) BTW, because we have our own mod code which updates each thread and post (in the DB) when GoogleBot or Bingbot visit that thread or post; so we fully track this for each thread and post (and tag I think)

Update: tags are OK as well... the only bug we see is with the [post_id] when writing posts to the sitemaps.

That will not prevent the sitemap from resuming.

It will only allow you to kill a build in process if the build process failed for whatever reason. If you stop the page loading or navigate away from the page during the build of one particular sitemap file, when you come back it will simply restart that particular file

OK... now I generated a sitemap of threads, posts, tags, and forums:

All sitemaps URLs are OK except for "posts", which are all missing the post_id from the URL in the sitemap .

Cheers.
