Flexicontent 2.0 Xmap plugin was created by thatch10

Hi all,

I know that you have been busy generating the finished article with the flexicontent component, however I am unable to tell the search engines about where to find all of the content on my sites.

Have you made any progress on the plugin, is it close to release or not to be seen anytime soon.

Thanks for a great product and really do appreciate the hard work on the development side.

You can use XMAP for com_content
since

1. the new FLEXIcontent URL routing will take care of displaying correct pages without page reload
2. The rel canonical tag will inform Seach pages that they are view the same content via 2 links

That is the benefit of using com_content.

Work for supporting XMAP is not too much , the developer of it can easily support FC by replacing a few lines of code with:

Code:

// Create an FC item link and then convert to SEF link
JRoute::_( FlexicontentHelperRoute::getItemRoute($id, $catid, $Itemid) );
 
// Create an FC category link and then convert to SEF link
JRoute::_( FlexicontentHelperRoute::getCategoryRoute($catid, $Itemid) );

And adding these includes:

Code:

require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_flexicontent'.DS.'defineconstants.php');
require_once(JPATH_SITE.DS.'components'.DS.'com_content'.DS.'helpers'.DS.'route.php');
require_once(JPATH_SITE.DS.'components'.DS.'com_flexicontent'.DS.'helpers'.DS.'route.php');

Please remind me in weekend i might have time and motivation to do it

Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite having a long list of functions) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?
