Introduction
============

GoogleNews_ service has some technical requirements_. This add-on solve the only issues
Plone have regarding these constraints. Lets Plone be GoogleNews_ ready.

Article URLs
============

URL need to display a three-digit number. This add-on override the url normalizer
to add a unique id.

SiteMap
=======

This add-on add a @@googlenews-sitemap.xml view for topic content type. This 
view add some checks before loading items:

* no more than 1000 items returned
* items must have been published in the last two days
* items are ordered on the effective date (reversed)

So you don't need to add criteria for these, but types
should be set to News Item to be sure you are publishing news.

How to publish my website into google news ?
============================================

You need to have a topic instance in your website. By default in Plone /news/aggregator 
is the one. In the process you can provide the sitemap to help google to get the 
last news by providing the url example.com/news/aggregator/@@googlenews-sitemap.xml
