Unable to specify sitemaps_path

[kjvarga]

Unfortunately a long time ago when Adam created this gem he made SitemapGenerator::Sitemap and instance of an object. I would rather instantiate an instance like so SitemapGenerator::Sitemap.new(options!!)... so that minor API decision means that at the moment it's not easy to just create a sitemap instance and add links to it...something I want to see soon because there's no reason this gem should just be for Rails :)

Back to your question...the sitemaps_path option isn't actually supported yet, until I can move the API to a more sensible layout. In the meantime you can do this to get around the problem:

sm = SitemapGenerator::Sitemap
sm.sitemaps_path = '/sitemaps'
sm.sitemap.sitemap_path = sm.send(:new_sitemap_path)
sm.sitemap_index.sitemap_path = sm.send(:sitemap_index_path)

Put that below your SitemapGenerator::Sitemap.sitemaps_path = "sitemap" line in the config.

It just occurred to me that if update those paths in the SitemapGenerator::Sitemap.sitemaps_path= method then we can support specifying the sitemap path. A nice easy patch!

BTW The sitemap dir must already exist.

Ok I've released v1.3.1 which takes care of everything for you. Just set your sitemaps path via:

SitemapGenerator::Sitemap.sitemaps_path = '/sitemaps'

And the rest is taken care of for you. The directory will be created if it DNE.

Let me know if you have any problems with it.
