At that point, having a tool to generate or that kind of volume of XML makes a lot of sense. I'd be curious to see your implementation!

Hello Jon,
well, the interesting part of our code starts where your tutorial ends: I see that creating the XML structure itself isn't a big deal with ZF, but if you have millions of URLs like our site has, then you need to take care of correctly splitting the XML files in order to keep them smaller than 10 MB and with a maximum of 50.000 URLs each, and have to manage sitemap index and sitemap content files which need to be linked correctly.
As far as I can see, this is something Zend_Navigation can not (and isn't supposed to) do.

Not sure if this is helpful, but I did a video about generating a sitemap from zend_navigation's sitemap:

Hello all,
if I understand http://framework.zend.com/wiki/display/ZFPROP/Proposal+Lifecycle correctly, then writing my idea to this list is hopefully correct.
One member of my team at MyHammer.de created some handy classes to generate our quite large (Google) XML sitemaps (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sitemaps for an introduction).
We are currently planning to remove the MyHammer dependencies from these classes and release them as open source. Now I wonder if having a module for generating XML sitemap files in the Zend Framework would make sense.
I'm not sure if this kind of stuff is too specific for a general purpose framework, on the other hand it might usefully extend the "toolkit" for creating full featured web sites using ZF.
What do you think?
