How to generate sitemap from an interrupted session?

[kodokmarton]

I have a large site:

The interrupted session says:
URLs added: 243644,
estimated URLs left in a queue: 226115
This process ran for 16 hours.

I want to build a sitemap from this interrupted session, how can I do that?

[XML-Sitemaps Support]

You can set "maximum URLs" setting to say "250000" and resume generator.

That will stop the process to continue. I need the process to go forward.

I want a new feature added to the resume screen on Crawling tab.
It should call build sitemap from current status.

Also I need another new feature, I want regexp recognized in the do not parse section, as I have some wildcards I can use it there and can't do it by substring match.

When could you implement that?

Also `Click here to interrupt it.` doesn't seem to do the job.

As the process gets stopped, but after a few moments it starts again. I issued the process from the browser, not by a cron job.

[XML-Sitemaps Support]

Hello,

perhaps you have it still open in browser, so it auto-resumes the process. You can rename generator folder (to say "generato2") to avoid that.

On the latest version this seams a bug, as I barely can stop it. Please check this stuff, it might happen when memory is very high around 1000 megabytes.

For when can you implement a sitemap from an interrupted session?

[XML-Sitemaps Support]

We will consider this feature request for one of the future versions of sitemap generator (we have no release date estimates).

Could you at least tell me the file to modify, and I will try to modify myself.

As I see only the following change after build sitemap is called:
- do not delete/clear the process state, keep it as it is, to be able to resume it

[XML-Sitemaps Support]

The code wil lneed to be modified for that since such a feature is not available in existing version, it's not a configuration modification.

I don't have details on what to modify until (if) we get it included in sitemap generator code in future version, sorry.
