Hello everyone. Because so many of you requested a new version I started working on it. You can already download an initial and working version on the new project page. Please refer to that new page for further updates and for support questions.

Thanks everyone who supported my decision to keep developing the plugin, I really hope this new work could help you.

Unsupported Sitemap format
Your Sitemap uses a News format that is no longer supported for newly-submitted sitemaps. Please update to the new format, which involves attaching a tag and other relevant tags to each url in your Sitemap.

This is very good, I am using the googlenews_sitemap_1.5.x_coreSef file...

My only problem is that it collects articles from section/category, only category.

The generated sitemap displays the article´s link in the following format:
http://www.mysite.com/category/article
but my site displays the link in this format
http://www.mysite.com/section/category/article
Notice that the sitemap generator doesn´t add the section to the url generated in the google news site map

Is there anway I can edit the code to add this? thank you!

I am also having the same problem where i am using joomla 1.0 and google is saying that your sitemap uses a news format that is no longer supported. it says Deprecated Sitemap format
Your Sitemap uses a deprecated News format. Support for this format will disappear shortly, at which point your Sitemap will be rejected. Please update to the new format, which involves attaching a tag and other relevant tags to each url in your Sitemap.

I stumbled upon your site looking for a google news sitemap maker for joomla. Looks like I found it as well as some other good stuff. I will be fishing around on here for a few days. Great work thanks for the useful plugins I will be trying them out soon.

Hi Andrea,

I uploaded my googlenews_sitemap succesfully but I got this message from google news

(Unsupported Sitemap format
Your Sitemap uses a News format that is no longer supported for newly-submitted sitemaps. Please update to the new format, which involves attaching a tag and other relevant tags to each url in your Sitemap.)

How can I add those tags? I have no knowledge of php.

Thanks,
Alex
