Numerous tags missing from Google News Sitemap

+1.

I'd like to see the patch.

I envision this as coming from a taxonomy vocabulary - perhaps there could be a configuration option to specify which vocabulary.

For keywords, see #748098: Keywords not being picked up?

And the access tag too, but not sure how this could be implemented. Perhaps check the value of a CCK field on a node or if the Premium or Node Option Premium module is installed and content is premium.

Perhaps the best way would be for a hook to be added so we can do our own additions (keywords, genre etc) before the sitemap output is generated.

Hi,
I am a little bit stupid about drupal (newbie). Where do I have to write the " $content .= 'PressRelease,OpEd,Opinion,Blog';
$content .= 'your keywords,comma separated';" ?

Thx for your help.

This can be done simply if you only have one taxonomy to worry about - for example, categories/tags like 'reviews', 'opinions' and 'announcements' which indicate the genre for news sitemap purposes.

I'm throwing up what I hacked together in case people want to play with it. It also grabs a list of keywords but it does not do any filtering by vocabulary. The patch mentioned in #2 looks to be a more robust method of generating keywords.

This code will not work with D7 as it uses taxonomy_node_get_terms; it's probably trivial to fix, but I don't have it to test.

over a year old so figured i would hijack this thread...

as per original posting there are numerous tags missing from the xml.

bumping to D7, and from what i can see the following tags are missing:
- access
- geo_location
- genres
- stock_tickers
- keywords

would decent approach not simply be to add global admin fields for these and then support Tokens to fill?

in that way they could be token filled with terms from some vocab (keywords), access level or status text (access), possibly custom user created token for things like genres, static text for tickers

I will likely give this a shot; but please let me know if i am missing something like perhaps these are already implemented and i just haven't found the ui for it.

this adds support for the additional added tags:

• access
• genres
• keywords
• geo_location
• stock_tickers

using the token method i mentioned above.

Excellent work mate. Was looking for it from a long long time. Just glad that someone stepped up.

The patch in #7 is a great step in the right direction, this version is tidied up a bit, separates the list of tags into its own function that is wrapped in drupal_alter(), changes the 'access' tag to a selector, and adds variable_del() items to the uninstall script.

The Genres tag should really be updated to use the list from http://support.google.com/news/publisher/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=93992.

This is a reroll of #9 that adds a selector for the Genre tag and has other improvements, particularly around tag descriptions.

#11: googlenews-n832440-11.patch queued for re-testing.

Committed, thanks for all the help everyone.

Needs to be backported to D6.

The D6 version is no longer supported. Sorry folks.
