[Feature Request] Support a working XML sitemap configuration for tx_seo

[biedert]

Since it would be nice to have the detail view of all events in the XML sitemap of a page, an example configuration for tx_seo would be appreciated. I.E. in the extension manual or in an optional TS-Template.

If found the following issue on stackoverflow, but it doesn't work correctly, because the timestamp parameter is missing (or simply set to 0)

Hello @biedert

what do you mean with "doesn't work correctly"? I remember that post as I have tested and answered it.
Setting the timestamp to 0 activates an internal fallback process of events2. In that case events2 tries to find the next date, if not found it tries to find the last possible date, if that is not found, too, it displays the event start date of the event record. And yes, setting timestamp to 0 will result in 01011970_0000 in URI.

Hi @sfroemkenjw !

Well, I think I would expect every date of an event to have exactly one URL. Furthermore, an URL with a 01011970_0000 in it is not an URL I would like google to index.
Maybe a RecordsXmlSitemapDataProvider would help to find the first Date (timestamp) of an event?

Best, Patrick

Hi @biedert and @sfroemkenjw
I quickly built a very rudimentary SitemapDataProvider here, also only creates a list of events from a list of PageIds, no categories, no organisers etc. But maybe helpful for one or the other.
