Hi,
Google Sitemaps (https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/) is a way
to help Google''s crawler on your website.
I''ve published a little script to generate, from a rails project, a
urllist file usable with the Google sitemap generator.
You drop the script in your RAILS_ROOT/lib directory, edit it to set
the base url, and you''re set. Run it with
ruby script/runner "require ''gen_url_list''"
Download and more info in a blog post at http://www.myowndb.com/blog/?p=12
Capabilities:
------------------
The script can work with controllers in subdirectories and can set the
last modification date of the url based on the last modification date
of the controller file.
Limitations;
-----------------
It doesn''t use the Rails Routes as I didn''t find how to use
the
url_for method in the script ( it''s a controller instance method).
Hoping this can be helpful for someone.
cheers
Raph
