Our Joomla! extensions are all OpenSource and free of charge. Support is also free of charge. Nevertheless, we do have costs that need to be paid. This is done out of our own pocket. We have had a donation button on our website for some time now, which is actually used to make donations from time to time. The donation progress bar is intended to show how much support we have received and how much is still missing to cover the basic costs, such as hosting and services. The annual costs currently amount to 356€.
Thank you for your support!
You want to support and there is no suitable platform? Write to us in the forum.
I had just installed and tested the new 5.1.0 version. Basically everything works, but I noticed a few things.
1. With the task plugin in the Details tab, the entry for "Type ID" is "PLG_TASK_SCHUWEBSITEMAP", but this is not a translatable text in the source code, instead it is the name for the array within the TASK_MAP constant of the available task functions. Maybe you should change the name to something more descriptive e.g. "SchuWebSitemap.updateXml".
2. You should generally write something into the log, even if everything was completed with Status::OK, so that it can be verified (e.g. if "Individual task logs" is enabled, but also beyond that) when and whether the task was successfully completed.
3. Perhaps you should not activate all entries for "Sitemap XML type" straight away. Not everyone uses all three types, but most probably the sitemap type. For example, I do not use the newsmap.
4. In the sitemap for the images, you should check the entries for "image:loc", that is, the image URL associated with an article, to see if it already exists for that article. For example, I use the JCE plugin "JCE MediaBox" for image (Slimbox) popups and if an image has such a value (as a href click event), the "image:loc" appears in duplicate for the corresponding article entry in the image sitemap.
I think that even if an image appears two or more times in an article, one entry for this image in the article sitemap entry is sufficient.
Oh and thanks for the new task plugin.
With it this sitemap is, in my opinion and as far as I know, currently the best free sitemap extension for Joomla - and with the task, it can now go from the develop and testing to the live and productive site.
Cheers!
