Make SitemapMadeSimple include News articles

So you want to get the most out of your SEO for CMSMS? You have a lot of blogs or articles that you want Google to pick up right? Well as you may have read in the Google docs one way to insure you’re your page is craw and gets index preference you need a XML sitemap. The issue is some inline mods look as if they are move to another page, but they are not, the page alias is the same. So sitemaper doesn’t work. One of those items is the News that comes pre-installed on your CMSMS setup. The trick here is to render out details page and land it in there. So what do we is...

   
   {capture assign='junk'}{news number='1000'}{/capture}
   {foreach from=$items   item=entry}
   {assign var=utmpNEWS   value=$entry->moreurl|replace:'//':'/1/'|replace:'http:/1':'http:/'}
 <url>
      <loc>{$utmpNEWS}</loc>
 
 {if $entry->formatpostdate}
      <lastmod>{$entry->formatpostdate|date_format:"%Y-%m-%d"}</lastmod>
 {/if}
 <priority>{$page->priority}</priority>
      <changefreq>{$page->frequency}</changefreq>
 </url>
 {/foreach}
  

friendly list of URLs for all of your News articles...

Hope this helps
Cheers
