Hi,

Thanks for releasing the latest update for GoogleNews Module.

I have one request.

I have noticed the modules takes up the name of the site to be put as publication name.
However, our SiteName is long and we haven't used it exactly as the name entered in google news.

As the module takes the publication name from the Name of site given in Drupal, we are in a fix.

Can we have an option to set the publication name manually in settings for the module.

Thanks

Subscribing - getting this in Google WebMaster Tools:

Unexpected publication name
The publication name specified in your Sitemap does not match the publication name we have for your site in our database. Please check that the publication name in your Sitemap exactly matches the publication name displayed for your articles in Google News.

There's a bit of chatter about the 'Unexpected publication name' issue in general on google webmaster forums.

Our duct-tape job does the job for now #12. - http://drupal.org/node/625058

Here's a small patch that allows you to override the publication name in the module's settings. By default it uses the current behavior, until it is overridden.

Variables need to be prefixed with the module name and also need to have a corresponding variable_del() in googlenews_uninstall().

Hi,

here is a patch to change the publication name I've made.
In case you decide to leave it to the original sitename just leave it blank.

The attached patch allows taxonomy terms (as well as content types) to be selected for generating the site map.

Does #10/11 have anything to dot with this issue?

I think #7&#8 are rtbc. I don't see what #10&#11 have to do with this issue.

Needs a tiny amount of work, but yes, this is totally worth including.

This is a bit more comprehensive. It changes the settings to indicate that the site name will be automatically used if the publication name field is left blank, has improved logic for outputting the value, and deletes the variable during hook_uninstall.
