Zenphoto Google Sitemap
I think it’s cool to help Google bot crawl my gallery. So I create this dynamic Google sitemap generator for ZenPhoto. First, this script will select all albums, then list all pics from that album, and will recursively do so for aech of the subalbums. I put the priority 0.5 (as what is defined as default priority by Google here) and put and changefreq as never (this is optional, maybe someone can enhance on this).
How to install:
There is a readme file in the ZIP, just in case:
1. Extract it, upload the file sitemap.php to zp-core.
2. At the root folder of gallery, find .htaccess file and add the following line:
RewriteRule ^sitemap\.xml$ zp-core/sitemap.php [L,QSA]
add it exactly below this line:
RewriteEngine On
Save and reupload the .htacess file.
Then you can access your sitemap at www.domain.com/gallery/sitemap.xml

Hi
Thanks for the sitemap, I noticed that you have hardcoded the url to your site, It would be better if you sniff it from the install or at least make sure that you mention in your write up that users need to edit this line to make it work.
cheers

Thanks Joe. It just got fixed.
Hi, I have more exploration error. Sitemap plugin add “.php” extention at the end of links as “MyImage.jpg.php”
Why ? Is-it a bug ?
Thx
The page of sitemap : http://atelierboucher.fr/zp-core/sitemap.php
Sorry for the triple comment, but it is impossible to edit previous comments.
I made hack of the file so that Googlesitemap can use them, but it is temporary (line 95).
Here is the address of the sitemap with my hack: http://atelierboucher.fr/zp-core/sitemap.php
and address of the sitemap of origin: http://atelierboucher.fr/zp-core/sitemap_origin.php
For my website, this plugin does not understand the albums files, add an extension. Php in image and does not include pages created with the plugin zenpage (built since 1.2.5). It’s a real shame.
I do not have sufficient knowledge to modify your plugin.
I hope you get there.
Thank you in advance.
Hello, I have left 3 comments with the pseudo VV666, why did it disappear?
hi Stephane,
your comments were in moderation list.
If you can comment this line on top of the file:
$ZenUrl=str_replace(‘/zp-core/sitemap.php’, ”, getaddress());
(comment by // at the beginning)
then enter a new line just below it:
$ZenUrl=”http://atelierboucher.fr”;
Hello, thank you for your help.
I add this: $ ZenUrl = “http://atelierboucher.fr/albums”;
It finds the urls, but always adds .php at the end of pictures and the pictures are not visible.
Finally, to display the xml sitemap, I must always go to http://atelierboucher.fr/zp-core/sitempa.php instead of http://atelierboucher.fr/albums/sitempa.xml
Hi Stephane,
I would suggest 3 lines of modification for you. It is hard coded style may not be usable by other though.
1. On top of the file, change $ZenUrl to this line:
$ZenUrl=”http://atelierboucher.fr/”;
2. Find this line:
$url=myslash($ZenUrl).urlencode($picline[2]).’/';
change it to:
$url=”http://atelierboucher.fr/index.php?album=”.urlencode($picline[2]);
3. Find this line:
$url=myslash($ZenUrl).urlencode($albumname).’/’.urlencode($picline[0]).”.php”;
change it to:
$url=”http://atelierboucher.fr/index.php?album=”.urlencode($picline[2]).”&image=”.urlencode($picline[0]);
Additionally, in order to have
http://atelierboucher.fr/zp-core/sitemap.php
to be accessible at
http://atelierboucher.fr/albums/sitemap.xml
you nee to follow the instruction on top of the page about changing .htaccess
Thank you.
I make the changes and now it finds most of the pages (not found 6).
For against, the amendment of. Htaccess as mentioned did not solve my problem but that’s OK, Google is still the sitemap.
Do you know why your extension is not valid for me? Is this due to my location in France? (and thus the translation of the application).
Thank you very much for your help.
Dear Basri,
I’m using Zen Photo 1.2 (I’m really new to Zen Photo) and I think they have changed some file locations.
The line include(“zp-config.php”); needed to be changed to include(“../zp-data/zp-config.php”);
But I have something strange going on with the generated URLs
http://serendipity.soft-focus-imagining.com/Michelle%2FMichelle+-+colour/Michelle_in_colour_029.jpg.php
between Michelle and Michelle+-+color is “%2F” and this should really be a “/” as these are both albums.
I’m not a programmer so did not know where to start looking.
Take Good Care – Nigel.
Dear Basri,
As I’ve said I’m no programmer but I was able to add a hack.
I added:
$url = preg_replace(‘/%2F/’, ‘/’, $url);
just after line 66 and 96
I does correct the URL but it’s not exactly elegant!
Nigel
I know how to solve the issue though. ,

Photos from ZenPhoto have a very bad result in the Google.Images Search. And I don`t think – SiteMap changes this tendensions…
Could you give any link to site based on ZenPhoto and has top result in Google.Images?
Sorry for my @cool@ English =)
I got this message when I tried to get the sitemap.xml

Any idea why I got this?
