Recently developers at Pligg released a module that would allow you to add this effect to your Pligg install.  However, the module should have undergone some testing or perhaps 1 moment of thought.

It seems my last version of the Xml Sitemaps module for pligg didn't really fixed the date format problem with the generated sitemaps.

This is a quick fix for a bug introduced in a previous version because I tried to make it compatible with php4 date().

I created a module that generates XML Sitemaps for Pligg ( the well known open source cms used for creating sites similar to digg.com ). The module generates a sitemap index and sitemaps with all the stories in the database dynamically so nothing is stored on disk and you don’t have to set a cron job to generate it. The sitemaps are updated automatically when a new story is submitted. Because of the structure of the sitemap index and because it contains “lastmod” info, the search engines should only download the latest entries in the index so you shouldn’t worry about the module putting too much load on your system. There is also a “ping” function that will announce google, yahoo and ask.com every time a new story is submitted so that they know they have to download the sitemap. The ping function required a little patching to pligg source code to add some hooks ( only if you use 9.6, 9.7 should already have those hooks ). Here is the diff file i

Aunque según declaran esto no es el final de Pligg, sino un gran principio… La decisión de venta es lógica, la comunidad ha crecido demasiado, y ya hay cerca de 10.000 webmasters que hacen negocio gracia al código fuente de Pligg. Pligg.com se ha agregado en Sedo y abre a negociaciones, en la venta se incluye el dominio Pligg.com junto con todo su contenido, incluyendo el trabajo de diseño grafico, el blog, etc. Compártelo
