GTSitemap

[Princeton]

A new an improved version can be found here: 108583

The GTSITEMAP Addon creates a site map for your web site. A great addition for sites that offer more than just a "forum".

A site map is a visual organized model of a Web site's content.

A site map gives users an overview of the site's sections in a single glance. In many ways, a site map is similar to a book's table of contents, in which each listed item links directly to its own section.

Tip
The site map interface should be familiar with your users. A successful site map is a simple hierarchical view of sections in a list format.
If a user has to 'work' (click here, click there) to review a whole site map the benefits of using the site map will be lost - show everything on one page.
A site map "should be no more than two-and-a-half times the window size most common among your users". - Jakob Nielsen
A "Site Map" link should be clearly visible at the top and at the bottom of page.How You Can Give Back

EDIT: Sorry misread information
* michaelbenson says nice hack, installs :)

The only way I got it to show on my navbar is to remove:

$vbphrase[gtp_sitemap]
and just put Site Map

Is there any way to bring the 'Site Options' menu to the top?

How can I add another box on the left like the 'Site Options'?

Are there any options in the ACP?

Mastar,
change PHRASE TYPE of $vbphrase[gtp_sitemap] to GLOBAL.

I have updated the files.

You can change the look by modifying the template: gtpglobal_sitemap.

The additional options are for PHONE / TOLL-FREE PHONE found under VB OPTIONS / CONTACT DETAILS.

(btw, thanks for quoting it...or else I wouldn't have known since it was removed from the original post!! LOL. aahhh the irony is thick.)

[Masiello]

Hey princeton,
I prefer this hack compared to your Custom Pages Hack...
(Reason sitemap.php is much better as a unique file/URL)

I have a question:
Why does Site Options appear centrall on sitemap.php as found here:
http://forums.techarena.in/sitemap.php

Also need to add additionaly links to Site Options Menu, (example rss2 feeds from forums)

* SaN-DeeP clicks install ;)

Regards,

[Princeton]

no problem; I understand :)
with mod-rewrite the other product could look like /view/section/sitemap OR /view_section_sitemap.html

Regarding your problem:
add valign="top" to the table cell

[SaN-DeeP]

ah thanks for same, and congrats being new moderator on vb.org :)

[bigdaddyforums]

Just wondering if anyone has got this to work with 3.6 yet? Or knows of a similar plugin :)

[Allan]

[Allan]

Yes, work perfectly with vB3.6.4 ^^

Thanks for his hack ;)

Any way to top-align the right side, so that the site options and contact info lines up with the actual map?

Edit: Nevermind, saw you hinting at it above.

For everyone else, edit the gtpglobal_sitemap template. Look for:


$HTML
</ul></td>
</tr>
</table></td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td width="180">


Change to:


$HTML
</ul></td>
</tr>
</table></td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td width="180" valign="top">

What's up with this putting an ad in my AdminCP with some crazy "asdfasdf" URL?

http://www.sevenstring.org/chris/admincpspam.jpg

[Princeton]

it's called an affiliate link ...

UPDATE: affililate link has been removed

[yoyoyoyo]

any chance of having this updated to 3.6.8?

[baghdad4ever]

is it work on 3.6.8???

[memoriess]

hi,

how can add the link at the bottom of the navbar? im using 3.6.8, it does not appear below.. pls help thanks

but the script is working fine..

[Buckey]

Is there anyway to set it so you can expand the catagories or collapse? This would save on the scrolling down, especially if you have a large forum :)

Thanks again for such an awesome hack!

[dtv100]

any one try this with 3.7 ?
