v4 Sitemap Module

The site map module allows you to generate an xml sitemap file of your categories and listings to submit to the search engines. Please see sitemaps.org for more information on what a site map is.

You can submit to the two most popular here:

• Google
• Yahoo

Requirements

Minimum version 4.0.0

Instructions

Download the zip file and upload it to your modules directory. Next visit administration -> manage modules -> regenerate.

After you have activated it you can visit yoursite.com/modules.php?mod=sitemap to see the xml and that is also the link to submit to the search engines.

I also wanted to add that I totally changed a site from using CGI to 68 Classifieds. I changed the name servers Friday and submitted a new site map that day and now it is fully indexed with the new structure. The old links still remain in the cache but I was amazed at how quickly they re-indexed everything.

Great mod - is it 3.1 compatible until 4 goes live ?

Is it possible to auto generate the sitemap?

Is the site map module included and installed on the V4 hosted version?

Same question for me. How do we do this? (cron job? shell script as site map file?)

[suzkaw]

This file is generated with fresh content every time it is accessed. So no need for a cron job or anything.

Is there a problem downloading the zip file? The system keeps asking me for a password but I am already logged in. When I try to download the file it says I need to login as I do not have sufficient privileges.

Can you try it now? You should be able to download.

I have looked at my sitemap which is automatically generated using your script but it does not seem to include pages I have defined using the page editor (I have about 60). I also notice that the script generates the URLs with php extensions and not the renamed URLs which have gone through the SEO module (nearly everything) and what has been defined by the .htaccess file. Is that a problem? Is this something you are likely to do with the sitemap module? Would it be an enhancement?

An aside I am unsure about what is happening because if I type a php formatted url into the browser it does not redirect either. For example http://www.french-property-sale.eu/category.php does not redirect to http://www.french-property-sale.eu/p...es-france.html as it does when I am my site. I thought it would do that but that is my lack of knowledge.
