[Plugin: WP Realtime Sitemap] Upgrade issues

    Great plugin, I use it on several sites to show only Pages on my sitemap. When I upgraded to 1.5.2 all Sitemaps are now empty. The reason seems to be 2 things:

    You have set under Display Settings -> Show Menu set to Yes/On even though it says the default is No/Off – So it is ON after the upgrade.

    Also, you have set in Order Settings -> Everything is defaulted to Menu. So if you don’t have a menu you get nothing or maybe the navigation menu.

    Question, I would like to make 2 different sitemap pages, for instance 1 with All pages and 1 with a set of excluded pages? How can I do this?

    Thanks!

    Oh… I had that last question too. Hmm. After all, more people are using that functionality than I thought. I wonder if @rincewind is able to get us the shortcodes back again.

    I fixed the issue with settings not appearing as they should this was cause wordpress changed the activation hooks and the way they work, they no longer fire on upgrading a plugin, and I was relying on this firing to fix the new settings into the table, I only found out myself after I uploaded it as I was only then able to upgrade my own sites to the plugin as a end user would after had done this, I have since fixed that issue and put in my own upgrade code.

    As for using a different sitemap on 2 different pages this wasn’t something I realised people were doing with my plugin so not something I had ever thought about.

    I could change the shortcode to be [wp-realtime-sitemap id=”1″] instead of [wp-realtime-sitemap show=”all” this wont break things for when people upgrade as I would leave in the old code for 1 version to give people time to change over to the new shortcode.

    I could perhaps then include another option to choose what gets displayed with what id and in what order.

    My only concern is that it may make the settings page a little overwhelming to some people, its already pretty long as it is.

    I haven’t removed the old short codes, I left them to give people time to change over to the [wp-realtime-sitemap show=”all”] short code.

    The only reason why it broke was cause I was rely on the activation hook firing on upgrades aswell as new installs, but wordpress changed it without my knowledge so they it no longer fired on upgrades, something which I only found out after release as this was the only time I was able to upgrade through the wordpress dashboard and then noticed it wasn’t adding in the settings so had to do a hotfix to 1.5.3 for this, but in the meantime people thought it had broke there sitemap when in fact it hadn’t all they had to do was save there settings again and it would all be fine again.
