That line looks ok, but PHP validation is not always clear, check the line before this line for missing semi colon, comment out this line to ensure it is actually this line. Next try breaking it into two commands (query the db as one, then set trains as the second)

Hey! I’m doing what you said here and having problems in this line:
$this->set(‘trains’, $this->AboutTrain->find(‘all’, ‘fields’ => array(‘date_modified’,'id’)));
(I have a lista of trains, table called about_trains)

It keeps telling me: Parse error in that line.. what Am I missing?

Thanks!

@karthick
There is not a specific table for the sitemap .instead you specify the existing table for your pages, posts, our whatever else you want included. Start with your content, add the sitemap after.

@Eric
Sorry for the delay. This may be my worse lapse ever..

The code is invoked due to the CakePHP routes in config that associate xml extensions and the specific path to the right layouts, views and controller.

/app/views/layouts/xml/default.ctp for instance is what sets the header and calls the content. Cake will invoke that template based on the controller.

At the time of this writing, the two lines in /app/config/routes.php were all that was needed to make that magic happen. But I know Cake under went a pretty large refactoring since then that may have changed the way extensions and routes are handled.

The CakePHP Manual would be the best place to turn.

As for zipping the entire project – I constructed this under the employment of a company, whom therefore are the legal owners of the application and pieces. What I provide here is only the critical ideas needed to reconstruct a solution specific to your site.

On a side note, can you post a zip of the entire thing? This will help me deduce where the problem is.

I need to make a dynamic site map for a client who has a bunch of products and adds pages daily to his site. I followed the instructions above to a T but nothing happened when I go to domain.com/sitemap or domain.com/sitemap.xml. There are no files called that so I am a bit confused as to how to get this to work.

Do I need to turn something on/off on the server itself? Does this require a certain mimetype?

@Aman:

Just update the controller action to pull back the fields you need (director, genre, etc) and then update the format of index.ctp to use the format specified by Google. This is a pretty straight forward task I feel..
