How would i go about generating a sitemap based on a cron job.
Or is the purpose of Page Change Frequency setting on the plug-in settings page

Hi Angolanmade,
I've been waiting for this question. At this point I have not added any functionality for cron jobs. The frequency option is actually just an element of the sitemap that states how often a page is modified (Most search engines don't actually use this for anything, but accept it just the same). I do have plans to update this plugin to support cron jobs in the near future.

Thanks for the quick reply, correct me if i'm wrong, is the sitemap.php file triggered every time i click on the generate sitemap button? looking to manually setup a cron job on the server to trigger this particular action.

That's correct, every time you click generate sitemap it will create a new sitemap. You'll be happy to know that I gave this some thought and I have just builtin cron job functionality. I'm just testing it at the moment and should have it uploaded in the next couple of hours.

Your the f*ckin man! Wait, I'm I allowed to curse?

I've updated the plugin to support cron jobs. Please test and enjoy!

This could totally be me but i can't seem to get the cron job to run, I've setup cron jobs manually on my server before so pretty familiar with the process

Here's what my cron job looks likes as generated by the plugin,

0 0 * * * wget -O - -q -t 1 http://mysite.com/index.php?page=sit...5ad5a30dedd5a7

Here some other examples that work on my server for additional apps.

0 * * * * wget -q -O - 'http://www.mysite.com/apps/ebuzz/admin/index.php?page=processbounces&login=test1&password=test' >/dev/null

Has anybody else tested this feature to see if it works?

Thanks

I seem to have forgotten to in close the URL in quotes so all the parameters were being ignored. I'll update that right away! If you prefer you can just add the quotes to the URL portion itself.
