Hi there,
I added a ssl certificate to my site and I'd like to redirect every single http url to its new https version
So I added this code in the .htacces file, after the RewriteEngine On :
Redirect 301 /about https://www.mysite.it/about
Unfortunately this is now working: I get the "too many redirects" error.
The following code works, but it's a bulk redirection to the home page, something I don't want for SEO reasons (https://moz.com/blog/save-your-website-with-redirects😞
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} mysite\.it [NC]
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.mysite.it/$1 [R,L]
Any suggestions?

Hi,
just wanted to share something I came across while working on an import module for XML data from a web service. The XML I got was not huge, but still, loading around 3.5 MB of XML with 250+ large child nodes into memory at once with simplexml_load_file() and then looping over it had significant impact on performance.
I searched for a solution and found this great article about how to parse large XML files.
It basically explains how to utilize the native XMLReader class together with SimpleXMLElement to handle such situations in a memory efficient way.
After implementing it I got a significant improval on perceived performance. No comparison in numbers to share here as I'm a bit short on time.

hey there
I guess a lot of you have already heard of the hreflang attribute which tells search engines which URL they should list on their result pages. For some of my projects I build this manually but now I am wondering if there's need to add this as a module to PW modules directory.
How do you deal with the hreflang thingy? Would you you be happy if you can use a module for this or do you have concerns that using a module maybe does not cover your current use cases?
Cheers,
Chris

Hi, I have an ongoing issue with Google SEO that I can't seem to fix. Wondering if anyone has come across a similar situation?
We deployed a new version of the website using a new deployment methodology and unfortunately, the wrong robots.txt file was deployed basically telling Googlebot not to scrape the site.
The end result is that if our target keywords are used for a (Google) search, our website is displayed on the search page with "No information is available for this page."
Google provides a link to fix this situation on the search listing, but so far everything I have tried in it hasn't fixed the situation.
I was wondering if anyone has gone through this scenario and what was the steps to remedy it?
Or perhaps it has worked and I have misunderstood how it works?
The steps I have tried in the Google Webmaster Tool :
Gone through all crawl errors Restored the Robots.txt file and Verified with Robots.txt tester Fetch/Fetch and Render as Google as both Desktop/Mobile, using root URL and other URLs, using Indexing Requested / Indexing Requested for URL and Linked Pages. Uploaded a new Sitemap.xml Particularly on the Sitemap page, it says 584 submitted, 94 indexed.
Would the Search Engine return "No Information available" because the page is not indexed? The pages I'm searching for are our 2 most popular keywords and entry points into site. It's also one of 2 most popular category pages. So I'm thinking it probably isn't the case but ...
How can I prove / disprove the category pages are being indexed?
The site in questions is Sprachspielspass.de. The keywords to search are fingerspiele and kindergedichte.

SYNOPSIS
A little guide to generating an sitemap.xml using (I believe) a script Ryan originally wrote with the addition of being able to optionally exclude child pages from being output in the sitemap.xml file.
I was looking back on a small project today where I was using a php script to generate an xml file, I believe the original was written by Ryan. Anyway, I needed a quick fix for the script to allow me to optionally exclude children of pages from being included in the sitemap.xml output.
OVERVIEW
A good example of this is a site where if you visit /minutes/ a page displays a list of board meetings which includes a title, date, description and link to download the .pdf file.
I have a template called minutes and a template called minutes-document. The first page, minutes, when loaded via /minutes/ simply grabs all of its child pages and outputs the name, description and actual path of an uploaded .pdf file for a visitor to download.
In my back-end I have the template MINUTES and MINUTES-DOCUMENT. Thus:
So, basically, their employee can login, hover over minutes, click new, then create a new (child) record and name it the date of the meeting e.g. June 3rd, 2016 :
---------------------------
OPTIONALLY EXCLUDING CHILDREN - SETUP
Outputting the sitemap.xml and optionally excluding children that belong to a template.
The setup of the original script is as follows:
1. Save the file to the templates folder as sitemap.xml.php
2. Create a template called sitemap-xml and use the sitemap.xml.php file.
3. Create a page called sitemap.xml using the sitemap-xml template
Now, with that done you will need to make only a couple of slight modifications that will allow the script to exclude children of a template from output to the sitemap.xml
1. Create a new checkbox field and name it: sitemap_exclude_children
2. Add the field to a template that you want to control whether the children are included/excluded from the sitemap. In my example I added it to my "minutes" template.
3. Next, go to a page that uses a template with the field you added above. In my case, "MINUTES"
4. Enable the checkbox to exclude children, leave it unchecked to include children.
For example, in my MINUTES page I enabled the checkbox and now when /sitemap.xml is loaded the children for the MINUTES do not appear in the file.
A SIMPLE CONDITIONAL TO CHECK THE "sitemap_exclude_children" VALUE
This was a pretty easy modification to an existing script, adding only one line. I just figure there may be others out there using this script with the same needs.
I simply inserted the if condition as the first line in the function:
function renderSitemapChildren(Page $page) { if($page->sitemap_exclude_children) return ""; ... ... ...
THE FULL SCRIPT WITH MODIFICATION
<?php /** * ProcessWire Template to power a sitemap.xml * * 1. Copy this file to /site/templates/sitemap-xml.php * 2. Add the new template from the admin. * Under the "URLs" section, set it to NOT use trailing slashes. * 3. Create a new page at the root level, use your sitemap-xml template * and name the page "sitemap.xml". * * Note: hidden pages (and their children) are excluded from the sitemap. * If you have hidden pages that you want to be included, you can do so * by specifying the ID or path to them in an array sent to the * renderSiteMapXML() method at the bottom of this file. For instance: * * echo renderSiteMapXML(array('/hidden/page/', '/another/hidden/page/')); * * patch to prevent pages from including children in the sitemap when a field is checked / johnwarrenllc.com * 1. create a checkbox field named sitemap_exclude_children * 2. add the field to the parent template(s) you plan to use * 3. when a new page is create with this template, checking the field will prevent its children from being included in the sitemap.xml output */ function renderSitemapPage(Page $page) { return "\n<url>" . "\n\t<loc>" . $page->httpUrl . "</loc>" . "\n\t<lastmod>" . date("Y-m-d", $page->modified) . "</lastmod>" . "\n</url>"; } function renderSitemapChildren(Page $page) { if($page->sitemap_exclude_children) return ""; /* Aded to exclude CHILDREN if field is checked */ $out = ''; $newParents = new PageArray(); $children = $page->children; foreach($children as $child) { $out .= renderSitemapPage($child); if($child->numChildren) $newParents->add($child); else wire('pages')->uncache($child); } foreach($newParents as $newParent) { $out .= renderSitemapChildren($newParent); wire('pages')->uncache($newParent); } return $out; } function renderSitemapXML(array $paths = array()) { $out = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>' . "\n" . '<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">'; array_unshift($paths, '/'); // prepend homepage foreach($paths as $path) { $page = wire('pages')->get($path); if(!$page->id) continue; $out .= renderSitemapPage($page); if($page->numChildren) { $out .= renderSitemapChildren($page); } } $out .= "\n</urlset>"; return $out; } header("Content-Type: text/xml"); echo renderSitemapXML(); // Example: echo renderSitemapXML(array('/hidden/page/'));
In conclusion, I have used a couple different processwire sitemap generating modules. But for my needs, the above script is fast and easy to setup/modify.
