Hello
Is it possible to make this into something which would generate Google NEWS sitemaps?
There is more information:
Here

http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2006/11/introducing-sitemaps-...

and here

http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=42738

Any idea whether this would be simple or not would be welcome, just to give an idea of likelihood.
I am hoping to use Drupal for collaborative news site.
Many thanks and best wishes.

This is not likely to be done unless someone who needs the feature submits a patch or pays someone else to do so.

This would be accomplished most efficiently by working with Views. XML Sitemap could provide an implementation of hook_views_style_plugins() and a default view.

Added in CVS commit 116187. To use, create a new view with page type "XML Sitemap: News". I did not include a default view because there is no standard URL for Google News site maps.

Is this fix portable to the version 6 of the module?

Please do not re-open long-closed issues.

Also see http://drupal.org/project/googlenews which you should use for now.
