    Great plugin! This plugin has served as a great launchpad for a plugin to help create mobile sitemaps but I’ve hit a snag and cannot figure out where I’m going wrong.

    First, I am novice at WP theme, plugin, and UI customization but I do well.

    Ok, so I’ve started offering my clients the DudaMobile option and it’s awesome but my main issue is with the way they handle URLs.

    My solution was to create a dynamic XML sitemap to be submitted to the SE and this plugin was the easiest to mod out of the box.

    Playing around with DudaMobile I found that we can use our desktop URL’s by following their syntax but replacing their “ID” based URLs.

    i.e. https://m.asphaltanimals.com/site/asphaltanimals/default?url=https://asphaltanimals.com/services

    So, using your great plugin I managed to strip it down so I’m only calling the DudaMobile username and rewriting the URLs to match syntax. We use WordPress SEO by Yoast for our desktop sitemaps and most of what we utilize makes the default options in this plugin obsolete.

    My problem is passing the post data from admin to the utils file. It’s one field and I’m sure it’s very simple but I’m stumped.

    Here’s our test site – you can see I’ve managed to get the URL exactly as needed except the username isn’t posting.

    I managed to figure this out!

    From the admin options page I have this text form:

    echo '<table class="form-table">' . "\n";

			echo '<tr valign="top">'
			. '<th scope="row">'
			. __('DudaMobile Username', 'mobile-xml-sitemaps')
			. '</th>'
			. '<td>'
			. '<p>'
			. __('Enter your DudaMobile username', 'mobile-xml-sitemaps')
			. '</p>' ."\n"
			. '<input type="text" name="duda_mobile_username"'
                . ' class="widefat code"'
                . ' value="' . esc_attr($options['duda_mobile_username']) . '"'
                . ' />'
			. '</td>'
			. '</tr>';

		echo "</table>\n";

    To pass that value along to the utils page to construct my URL:

    $this->write(
						'https://m.'.$_SERVER[HTTP_HOST].'/site/'.$this->duda_mobile_username.'/default?='.get_pagenum_link($i),

    $this->duda_mobile_username was all it took ??

    Thanks and awesome!

    I’m glad you were able to take it and customize the plugin to your needs. I assume you also made changes in save_options to sanitize the POST variable and add to the compact array function passed to update_options.

    Hi Mike,

    So I tried several plugins before I found yours. After playing around I determined your framework would serve my needs.

    DudaMobile seems to be a great third-party managed mobile solution but the URL issue was inevitably going to lead to faulty redirects from mobile search engines and I needed a dynamic xml sitemap solution.

    I use Yoast SEO for WordPress and it’s great but doesn’t have this functionality.

    Anyway, I made my changes but really threw it together to just get it done for a client.

    I’m a total hack so I honestly have no idea what you refer to by the save_options to sanitize – all I know is I got it working lol.

    I think this is a great solution and would easily be modified to work with other mobile based systems like DudaMobile.

    Would you be interested in getting this derivative of your original plugin to the finish line and help me better understand in this example how to accomplish what you’ve suggested?

    You can install and access the options page, set your DudaMobile username, save and that will activate the mobile-sitemap.xml i.e. https://asphaltanimals.com/mobile-sitemap.xml
