So let me clarify : Can this line :

Code: Select all

 RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ index.php?route=extension/feed/google_sitemap [L] 

be replaced with this line :

Code: Select all

 curl https://domain.com.au/index.php?route=extension/feed/google_sitemap  > /home/user/public_html/sitemap.xml 

in the .htaccess file ?

I would Like to generate sitemap.xml ( OC 3.0.4.0 )
Can you help me ?
Where can I add or execute this code to create the file ?
Thanks

You do not need to create a sitemap.xml file, that is what this, in htaccess, is for:

Code: Select all

RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ index.php?route=extension/feed/google_sitemap [L]

just submit the sitemap as /sitemap.xml and that htaccess line will translate it to the extension and send out the generated sitemap.
If the generation is too slow, you could always cache the output.

Yes, it is clear to me that the problem is not in creating the file itself. According to my understanding from the colleagues' words, it is finding a way to create the file smoothly to speed up the archiving process.

So let me clarify : Can this line :

Code: Select all

 RewriteRule ^sitemap.xml$ index.php?route=extension/feed/google_sitemap [L] 

be replaced with this line :

Code: Select all

 curl https://domain.com.au/index.php?route=extension/feed/google_sitemap  > /home/user/public_html/sitemap.xml 

in the .htaccess file ?

In considration this is ( /home/user ) a { Rootname }

Is this a practical result of the serious discussions that took place here ? ( Expert may tell us )

			// enable cache, set the cache file and try to read it
			$cache = true;
			$cache_file = 'sitemap-google';
			$output = false;
			if ($cache) $output = $this->cache->get($cache_file);
			if ($output === false) {

if ($this->config->get('feed_google_sitemap_status')) {

			// write the cache file if cache enabled
			if ($cache) $this->cache->set($cache_file,$output);
			}

$output .= '</urlset>';
