Google news technical requirements

Hi

There is some technical requirements to make google news crawler index your news in google news. you can find the requirements here.

basically news URL should include a sequence of numbers (at least 3 digit). a good candidate for this number is news article id.

the question is how we can include news article is is in URL like following map

news/{newsarticleid}/{news title}

I would appreciate any suggestion.

Thanks
Ahmad

RE:Google news technical requirements

Hello.

I would recommend you to add a query parameter into your URL, and get current document ID e.g. from CMSContext class (generally via context macro). For example CMS.CMSHelper.CMSContext.CurrentDocument.DocumentID (API), or {%cmscontext.currentdocument.documentid%} (context macro). You can add parameter in several ways. Via CMS.GlobalHelper.UrlHelper.AddParameterToUrl() method (see API reference file for more details), or manually e.g. in transformation.

Then, you can get and evaluate this query parameter and its value via query macro, according to following article: [url=http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/appendix_a___macro_expressions.htm ]http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/appendix_a___macro_expressions.htm [/url]
