Site Map for vB3.7

[Boofo]

Site Map for vB3.7
Version 1.0.4
(By Boofo)

What does this product do?
This product will add a Site Map to your site, similar to the one on vbulletin.org, but with no queries.

Version Information:
Version 1.0.1 --Initial release for vB3.7
Version 1.0.2 --Added additional site links to the bottom of the site map.
Version 1.0.3 --Added checks for external files (PhotoPost, The Arcade, Paul M's Flashchat Integration hack for vB3.7 and The Radio and TV hack). If the corresponding files are found on your site in their default locations, the links will show for those hacks. If the files are not found, the links will not show. Also added RSS Feeds buttons for Google, Windows Live and Yahoo.
Version 1.0.4 --Code has been totally re-written. Added RSS Feeds buttons for MSN, AOL, Bloglines, Newsgator and Technorati. Added new mouseover affect. Redid the file checks and made some of them product checks. Added vB News link.

Branding: A Copyright has been added to the footer and is not allowed to be removed. If you want the copyright removed, you must contact me via PM for terms.

Credits:
A big thank you goes out to Kirk Y for supplying the core code, co-authoring and allowing me to release this for vB3.7. Also thanks goes out to Andreas and SirAdrian for their invaluable help and guidance.

I'm not reserving the first post.


Wait... Damn!

[Bounce]

Been waiting on this one :D

*Installed* :up:

Is it possible to include other URL's in this?

Such as front page,gallery etc ?

[Boofo]

It pulls the forums info is all. I'm not sure it would be wise to allow any other info in a feed.

[shadowevil]

great work .... *installed*

Fair enough..

This isn't really a site map,more a forums map :eek: Althou you do state for vb3.7 - amazing work :)

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/info.php?do=sitemap has seperate links at the bottom.. how they do that? :up:

That would be more of what i'm after...

[Boofo]

Let me know if the FAQ info gets installed correctly, please. I've never done it like that before. I may have to adjust the link for it in the product.

[Boofo]

That would be easy to add actually. I didn't add that as I didn't know if anyone would want that.

It actually is a site map for RSS feeds.

[NeuroLancer]

this is good. thanks alot :)

* installed

[chrisdaman77]

Actually that is what i have been looking for myself as well. Very nice job getting this set for 3. 7. If you could let us all know how to add the other info it would be appreciated.

I see no FAQ link on mine

HERE if you want to check (http://www.hibeesbounce.com/forum/info.php?do=sitemap)

[Boofo]

What is this then?

http://www.hibeesbounce.com/forum/faq.php?faq=frf_faq#faq_frf_forum_newsfeeds

It is at the top of the site map.

[Boofo]

Actually that is what i have been looking for myself as well. Very nice job getting this set for 3. 7. If you could let us all know how to add the other info it would be appreciated.

Give me about 15 minutes and I will update it to have those links for you. ;)

Ahh yes sorry I thought you ment the links at the bottom...

That is perfect :up:

[projectego]

* projectego clicks install :)

[Magnumutz]

Looks pretty nice.
*Installed*

[Boofo]

Looks can be deceiving. At least, that's what my ex used to say all the time. ;)

[KURTZ]

simply a great hack!

[Boofo]

If anyone wants to see any other links added to this before I release the next version, list them in here as to what files I need to search for. Try to stay with common hacks, if possible.

[KURTZ]

Bobby i followed your instructions but when i hit myforum/info.php i've a blank page ...

[Boofo]

Then you didn't follow the instructions. Look at the sample link in the install file. ;)

And you owe me an install button click, testing or not. ;)

[KURTZ]

bobby i click install only if this hack runs on my board ... :)

trust me, i followed exactly what you wrote ... but i have a blank page on info.php ...

[Boofo]

The link is not info.php. There is a do= part that goes with it.

info.php?do=sitemap

See that at the bottom of the install file? It is also number 1 on the install instructions in the first post. ;)

[KURTZ]

:D

OK Bobby :D

INSTALLED!!!!

[Boofo]

LOL About time! ;)

Don't forget about that other install button cklick you owe me. ;)

Also, if you want any links added to this, let me know soon. I already have the PhotPost one taken care of.

[KURTZ]

Bobby when you release hacks like this i haven't any trouble to click INSTALL :D

but, i've got some troubles with your hacks that wants some template edits ... for those hacks i wanna wait the Gold 3.7.x (i think that i've already told you my point of view in the other threads) cause i don't want redo all the edits in the new templates (maybe Jelsoft change something in the new versions) ...

anyway i put the Site Map link in the footer ... it's simply perfect!

GREAT, REALLY GREAT JOB!

edit: about new links (i removed the chat cause i haven't) but i need a couple: one for the arcade and one for the radio & tv ...

[Boofo]

ok, give me the file names and locations for the link and what you want the link as.

As far as template edits, I just check for updated templates on the upgrade and only do those that say they need to be done. This last upgrade had only 2 so it was a breeze for me. You could be waiting for a while for the Gold.

[KURTZ]

Bob if you want i've a demo account on my ste (http://www.nowhine.net/board/index.php) (id: demo pwd: demo) ... pls log-on and check yourself ... i think that many users needs these link ... they are really common ... :)

[Boofo]

I just added the arcade one and the photopost one. Any others?

[Boofo]

The radio and tv one might be a problem as it is calling a javascript in the link on the fourmhome. I have never seen that hack before.

[Boofo]

LOL 96 Installs isn't really that many. But if you really feel that you just can't live withjout it, I will add it for you. But I need a link to a file to check for. And the link you want to it and the link name.

3.6.8 - 745 INSTALLS (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=152037) many times nominated for the MOTM ... :)

[Boofo]

That's not the link you gave me the first time, is it? ;)

Give me the info I need and I will add it.

Filename and path that brings it up and the name you want the link to be.

[KURTZ]

yes i give you the link for the 3.7.x (also nominated for the MOTM) ...

however i think is: radioandtv.php (placed in the main root)

edit: maybe you put the new links in another version of this hack? or what? :) anyway i've also asked to Dream for the correct links ...

[Boofo]

Still, 96. ;)

Like this?

forums/radioandtv.php

And what do you want for the text for the link?

[KURTZ]

yeah i know :P

yes i think so Bobby ... :) maybe "Radio and TV"? for me it's the same ...

[Boofo]

Radio and TV added! ;)

[KURTZ]

superb ;)

[Boofo]

Any others?

[KURTZ]

Bobby there are too many! :D

anyway i think that if you add the Paul M's hacks you do a complete job ... (i mean the track guests, members has posted, etc) all the people must have those hacks installed ... obviously that's my opinion, but if you check the 3.6.8 installations ... :)

[Boofo]

I've added the following additional links so far:

Arcade
Chat with us - Has now been changed to only show if you have Paul's Flashchat Integration hack installed. No need to remove it anymore.
Radio and TV
Gallery

We don't want to make the list too long. We only want the main site links here. Otherwise, things like the GTFooter Info Panel by Princeton and other hacks that do the same sort of thing become redundant. Most people don't use the site map as often as we'd like. If you can think of any other main ones, let me know soon. I will release this in a while after I hear from you.

[Freesteyelz]

TAGGED! Hehe. :D

[Boofo]

I hear ya! ;)

[Cornie]

Install

the info.php is an white site :(

[Freesteyelz]

I think it should be:

info.php?do=sitemap

[TheProphet]

Great hack Boofo, installed instandly :)

I only want to give my members a option to view the site map
If you want it, add the following link.


<if condition="$show['member']"><a href="info.php?do=sitemap">Site Map</a></if>

[Boofo]

I was going to do that but I got to thinking if guests can view the site map, they might see some things they are interested enough in to register. ;)

Give me 5 minutes as I am about to upload the update. You will like this version. ;)

[Boofo]

Install

the info.php is an white site :(

The URL is supposed to be as Freesteyelz stated:

info.php?do=sitemap

It is in the install file as well as the first post also.

You might want to click install as updates are coming.

[KURTZ]

Bobby i've a trouble after the upgrade ... i've not found the new links (arcade, radio etc) the files are in the main root (board) ...

[BuRaCh]

Nice idea;)

[KURTZ]

OK trouble fixed :)

the trouble was that i've the old template (info_setup) so i can't get the new links after the upgrade ... so simply update manually (or delete it before the upgrade) the template and the trouble goes away ... :)

[basilrath]

Looks great Boofo..........love it installed

[Boofo]

Don't forget the install button as there will be updates.

[avsunforum]

thanks

[Boofo]

Install button? ;)

[ChurchMedia]

*installed*

Thanks for this! I'm getting this error for some reason:
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /info.php on line 67
And the forums are not printing out.

http://www.churchmedia.net/info.php?do=sitemap

Maybe it's because I'm running vBseo?

[Boofo]

I'm not sure since you are the first to have reported it. But I will look into it and find out why it is doing that. I see another update in my future, I guess. ;)

If you figure anything out first, please let me know.

[Boofo]

Is anyone else running vBseo with this hack?

[7lanet]

If you figure anything out first, please let me know.
I turned off SEO and still got the error, so that's not it. I'll see what else I can track down.

[Boofo]

I'm working on it. I tracked down the code giving the error and am waiting for a response on it now. The weird thing is that you are the only one who has reported an error in the part of the code. But we will get it fixed. ;)

[NolF]

A nice feature would be to be able to disable subforums individually, either by introducing the forumids separated by whatever (eg commas) or in the subforum configuration with a disable option

Great mod ^^ can't wait to upgrade to 3.7 :P this wouldnt be compatible with 3.6.8 by any chance :O?
PS lol @ the threadid 171717 <--hehe

Not sure, but maybe the images should be using the style misc directory?
PS 2: it works in 3.6.8 ^^ it should actually work on all 3.6s

[Boofo]

I need a couple of testers for the, hopefully, last update for a while. The code has been totally re-written and I want to make sure it works right for everyone this time. If you are intersted, PM and I will get you the update.

[madotds]

Just installed and it looks great thank you

Those links are in the footer template. This is the phrase you would use (from the xml): frf_info_sitemap

[princeedward]

very nice indeed...Bro Boofo...you've done a good job....

RESERVED!

:p:up:

[Mesohu]

It work or not with Google Webmaster Tools , b'coz i have added my sitemap and i get a error : sitemap not know by google ( something like this ) .

[Boofo]

It will add RSS Feeds to your Google Home Page and Google Reader. I have no idea what you are talking about with Google Webmaster Tools.

[NolF]

I think he is confusing your hack with this (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=144730) other one :O

[Boofo]

Ah, OK, yeah that almost has to be it because I have no idea what he is talking about. Thanks for clearing that up. ;)

Does this also work for vBadvanced products? For example I have multiple instances of vBa Dynamics running on my site, as well as their Links Gallery.

Will this work?

Thanks.

Hi i'd like to add this on www.britmovie.net

For the link how would i put it in the navbar?

[NashChristian]

Hey there Bob!

This works GREAT on 3.6.7! I LOVE it!!!

However, it is NOT pulling in any of the information from my vBadvanced products as I had hoped. (It does not map any vBa product categories.)

My Site Map (http://nashvillechristian.com/forums/info.php?do=sitemap)

My vBa Articles Section (http://nashvillechristian.com/articles/index.php)

My vBa Media Section (http://nashvillechristian.com/media/index.php)

My vBa Links Directory (http://nashvillechristian.com/links/index.php)

It seems to me that it wouldn't be too hard to direct this product to search in these other areas as well, however this is beyond my abilities.

I know that a huge portion of this community runs vBa on their site. Could you possilby modify your code to include the vBa products in your very cool Site Map?

This is awesome! I just hope I can use it for my whole site! You get this to work on vBa, and you'll get my vote for Mod of the Month!

Thanks for all your hard work!

:) Jeff

[Boofo]

Apparently, your vBa areas don't use the forumcache. As I don't use vBa, I have no way of knowing how they are pulling the areas. They would have to be added manually, I'm afraid.

Hello Bob,

What do you mean by "added manually"? What, where, and how would I add these? I'm not afraid of a little work, just show me the way.

Thanks!
Jeff

[Boofo]

As I said, I don't run any vBa stuff so I have no idea how they pull anything. Check with the author and see if he will tell you how they do it.

Hello Bob,

Ok. I put a request in with Brian at vBadvanced. Hopefully he'll have time to respond and help out.

I think this mod could really catch fire if people could use it accross platforms such as vBa!

Thanks!

[Boofo]

This is the same version I use on my site, I just need to update the pics.

[NeuroLancer]

So if say someone had the 1.02 version and didnt want to upgrade because they had customised the life out of it, how would we put your copyright in the footer? what does it say? thanks.

[Boofo]

If you are running the old version, you don't need to do anything as the copyright was only added in the latest version with the code rewrite.

And I do appreciate it, sir. If you want to add it, let me know and we can sure do that for you, but it is not required on versions before 1.0.4. ;)

[codershark]

In the new version it show me no forums :(

[Boofo]

Look at step 5 in the first post.

[codershark]

I have activated the option under "Content Syndication (Javascript, RSS, XML)"

[Boofo]

Have you uoloaded all the files? There's really nothing else it can be. What link are you using to call the file?

[codershark]

I have upload all files and at the end of the link stand "info.php?do=sitemap" thats right or ?

[Boofo]

Link me to the file.

[SuperDave71]

Boofo...

Hey there. Mine is doing the same thing. I had your older site map and it worked perfectly. I added this one and I get nothing. I have triple checked the settings but nothing. I have enabled the RSS stuff as well and I get bullets but NO forum.

Again, it worked fine before.

Thanks and GREAT JOB! I know you can get this figured out.

Hi
Could someone tell me how to add the link for this to my footer between HOME and Contact Us for example I have tried various methods and it just messes up each time.

[Boofo]

Look in the footer template and do it the same way they do the contact us link. ;)

Installed and working. Although you should by default add codes to check if they have Photoplog or Photopost installed, and link to them under gallery, since I had to edit the template to add it. Same with social groups, and vBulletin Blog.

PhotoPost is checked for and displays a Gallery link if found. As far as the others you mentioned, I would need to know if there is a product installed for each one to work with vb and the product name, or just a file that it links to and what that filename is.

Don't forget the install button as you don't want to miss any updates.

I not clicking INSTALLED.

wait... damn. :P

It does come with a product/plugin. As does vBulletin blog. For vBulletin blog though, you could check the product or if this file exists:

blog.php

Not sure about the Photoplog product, but the file can be downloaded with the rest of the mod here at vBulletin.org

[Boofo]

PhotoPost can also be done without product integration so I used a file search for that link. File searches are more server intensive than product ID searches, so I try to stay with that option as much as possible. If someone can give me the product IDs for the blog and PhotoPlog, I will add them. As I don't use either item, I have no interest in downloading then.

[cheat-master30]

Where would you find the product IDs? I could get them...

[Boofo]

They are in the top of every product xml file. ;)

[cheat-master30]

Okay, I found this which might help:

productid="photoplog"

productid="vbblog"

I think those are the relevant product ids.

[Boofo]

Those were in the xml files at the top, right? And what do you want the links to show?

[cheat-master30]

Photoplog - Gallery (because anyone who has installed this is probably using it as a gallery)

vBulletin Blogs -Blogs/Member Blogs

[Boofo]

I already have PhotPost as Gallery.

[theOZer]

Boofo,
Darn decent mod. It works in vB370RC1. Adds a 'missing' feature in vBulletin.
Chow, theOZer

[SuperDave71]

I wonder if it could be that I have blogs on my site that is causing the error.

Thanks for your input and help.

[cheat-master30]

Most people won't have both installed, so both can be Gallery. Seriously, who installs Photoplog or Photopost as anything BUT a gallery?

Is there any way you can test it by temporarily disabling the blogs and then see if the list shows up?

[Boofo]

You would be surprised. ;)

[SpongeBob71]

Blogs were disabled and no show. I went into Plug-ins and Products and disabled it but it was the same as before.

Version 1.0.3 worked just fine. No idea why. I am not even getting the images in the RSS directory. The path is correct yet nothing appears.

I appreciate you helping me out.

-Dave

[Boofo]

Yes, there seems to be a problem for a few users of the mod with the same problem you are having. It is using the forumcache to pull the listing whereas the earlier version was using a query. I am still trying to figure out what causes it to not work on a few sites. It almost has to be another hack interfering with it somehow.

[SuperDave71]

Hey again Boofo..

I through and turned off all the plug-ins ( only one at a time though ) and double checked the instructions. I still have no idea what could be blocking even the images from displaying.

Just wanted to give you a heads up.

Thanks again,

Dave

[Boofo]

Did you upload the images to the images/rss directory as it says in the install file?

[SuperDave71]

I sure did.....still no go

-Dave

[MissKalunji]

oh and it works on 3.6.4

[CrashPush]

Great hack I like a lot. Great job!

[michael5472]

is there anyway for this to NOT show the hidden sections to your members / guests ?

Thanks,

Michael

[Boofo]

It will only show the forums the user is able to see. It is permissions based. View it as a guest and see. ;)

[CrashPush]

I'm an using your "Site Map" mod and I think it rocks!. I would like to add a "Gallery" and other future links to it. Still trying to figure out how.

Excuse me Boofo, hate to go off-topic, but where did you get that cool "Site Life Status" mod on your board at?

[Boofo]

There is a Gallery link in it already if you are running PhotoPost. I am planning on adding a few more links to it.

The "Site Life Status" is my version of an ipb mod I saw somewhere. I thought it was a great idea so I got the js code for it and added it. ;)

[CrashPush]

How hard would be to add a "Gallery" link for Photoplog?

Would you mind sharing the "Site Life Status" with us?

[MissKalunji]

he did it himself

[macc]

hello!


will change this text " Are you lost, frustrated, or looking for something specific? Our site...." but need help, where to found this text ?

[Boofo]

Check the phrases for this mod. ;)

[macc]

Check the phrases for this mod


where?


thanks for replay

macc

[Boofo]

Look in the XML file for the phrase you want to change, and then go to the phrases are in the Admin CP and change it. The one you want is frf_info_explain.

[timefactor]

excellent one, very smooth installation.

[SuperDave71]

To all that this plug-in is not working,

Apparently, my template was edited (I swear by accident). Boofo was able to fix this one for me but I wanted to say that it is now working perfectly.

Boofo thank you so much for helping us out and you have been nominated!

Thank you !

Change the link to:

http://www.7lanet.com/vb/info.php?do=sitemap

and click the install button. ;)

[CrashPush]

Bob,

Can we get directions on how to add additional links to the sitemap.

Harry

[Boofo]

PM me a list of the links you want added an what they use (product ID or filename). and if they are generic enough where a lot of people are using them, I will add them. Editing the template can cause problems if you don't know exactly how to do it.

[furst]

Does this pick up on the pictures in the albums?

[avsunforum]

hmm nice upgrade

[Boofo]

hmm nice upgrade

Don't forget the install button.

[Ricsca]

<a href="http://www.tartaportal.it/forums/info.php" target="_blank">http://www.tartaportal.it/forums/info.php</a>

Whay?

[Boofo]

Are you upgrading from an earlier version? I would totally uninstall the hack and re-install it.

[Boofo]

it would be nice if subforums could show

Subforums do show to those that are allowed to view them.

[Boofo]

Who is it set for to be able to view? All my subforums show fine.

[MissKalunji]

everyone to see if i give a link any unregistered would be able to see it...

ill figure it outsoone ror later

[Boofo]

I guess I'm confused. Everyone can see it or everyone can't see it? It uses permissions on who can view what forums in the listing.

[Boofo]

Well, I just tried to view your site map and saw no link for it. Is the album reviews a regular forum?

[MissKalunji]

My problem wasn't the mod but Depth of Sub-Forums was set to 1 where it should had been set to 2

[baghdad4ever]

thanks

[dancue]

Boofo, do you plan on expanding on this mod and adding the other items that are available through vb.org's Help menu?

Meet the staff
General Site Rules
Terms of Service
Privacy Policy

I've created a menu on my navbar dedicated to that already, but it looks bare right now. Would love to have the above.

[Boofo]

Well, those you listed would be hard to do on a general scale as not everyone would use a standard link for those.

[dancue]

when I click on the ones here I see the following:

info.php?do=staff
info.php?do=rules
info.php?do=terms
info.php?do=privacy

I don't have any of these currently on my website. Would be nice to see a mod offer them.

[Boofo]

And you won't see that offered here as that is their coding file for the site here.

[cheat-master30]

I'd assume if you wanted the other pages like on vBulletin.org, you'd try and replicate them as a template made vBulletin page.

[Ricsca]

Dont work...

http://www.tartaportal.it/forums/info.php?do=sitemap


My "Allevamento Tartarughe Terrestri" is ALLEVAMENTO <font size="1"> Tartarughe Terrestri </font>

[Boofo]

No, it does work. There just seems to be a problem in your setup. Have you edited the file or template by chance?

[JadedSouls]

Hi, I installed this but it's not working entirely correct for me :(

I didn't put the link to the site map on my site yet until I can get it fixed but here's a link to it:
http://jadedsouls.net/forum/info.php?do=sitemap

Do you know how I can fix this? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[Boofo]

You've edited the info.php file or the template, haven't you?

[AdrianH]

Followed your install instructions and it works beautifully, this is a great hack , thanks a lot.:up::up::up:

[JadedSouls]

You've edited the info.php file or the template, haven't you?

No actually, I haven't. I uploaded the php file and the icons and then imported the xml file and added the extra css - I didn't change a thing..

[AdrianH]

Looks like you have no php info there, are you sure that php file is in the correct place?

[AdrianH]

No actually, I haven't. I uploaded the php file and the icons and then imported the xml file and added the extra css - I didn't change a thing..

and ................... did you turn on RSS syndication in vB ACP?

4. Go to your Admin CP
Scroll down to 'Plugin System'
Click 'Manage Products'
Click 'Add/Import Product'
Click the 'Browse' button, and locate the product-boofo_sitemap.xml file on your computer

5. Go to your Admin CP
vBulletin Options -> External Data Provider -> Enable RSS Syndication
Check YES , you enable it and click SAVE

[JadedSouls]

Yes I had the RSS syndication turned on in the first place and I had put the php file where the mod said to put it.

[Boofo]

I'm sure whatever it is, it is something simple. If you want me to take a look at it, PM me some account details so I can go in and look a the product and template in the admin cp.

[gibby540]

Thanks for the mod. I have one question - I tried to add it to Google and I get an error. So...a general query is, does submitting a sitemap to Google (webmasters tool) helpful? If it is, is there a way to get Google to accept it without errors? I get the "unsupported file format" error. Thanks!

[MissKalunji]

i think you got the wrong mod....

[kollam003]

wow wow and just wow for a long time i was in search for this thanks

Indianprofits.com clicks install

[MrFlicks]

Installed and clicked installed

With thanks

[gibby540]

i think you got the wrong mod....
This is a site map mod, am I right?

[MissKalunji]

This is a site map mod, am I right?
Yes it provides a sitemap but it's not a sitemap to submit to google the one that does that is this one : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=1507278#post1507278

[gibby540]

Ooohh, gotcha, thanks! Does it help that much to submit a sitemap to Google? Just wondering...

[Boofo]

This just uses the external.php file for the rss. I'm not sure how Google does it.

[AdrianH]

I'm sure whatever it is, it is something simple. If you want me to take a look at it, PM me some account details so I can go in and look a the product and template in the admin cp.

Having looked at his forum the answer is obvious............ the site map is working BUT 99% of the forums are set to "PRIVATE".;)

[JadedSouls]

I think I went and fixed it.. I did end up taking out the color codes for the forums but just changed the link color for the category header in the Main CSS so that at least stayed pink.

Now it's all working and I got it linked in the footer. Going to add it to the portal navigation right now!

... I got bored at work *shh*

[Boofo]

Send me a link via PM when you get it all working. ;)

[JadedSouls]

You can just use the account info I gave you via PM sunday night.. :)

[MrFlicks]

I'm not reserving the first post.


Wait... Damn!

LOL Love your sense of humour Boofo

I can think of a couple of great additions like including the other type of site maps that are obvious down the right side (perhaps) as well as other possibilties to!

Hope that makes sense?

[Boofo]

What other type of site maps? You lost me, sorry. ;)

[MrFlicks]

The ones that could also be considered in the first instance imho would be

A link for the search engine one like the (is it) xml one for Google etc and also one that would incorporate pages from VB advanced and other possible usage of index page (CMS systems) as well as vb advanced's other pages or pages generated from well lets say Dreamweaver or even simple notepad pages eg anything & everything that should be getting seen and listed being done so.

Hope that is clear? SEO is my thing and am not completely au fait if I am making sense or speaking the right language for the likes of you experienced coders

[iogames]

Will it work with 3.6.10?

[TimberFloorAu]

You can just use the account info I gave you via PM sunday night.. :)

You have mysql errors on your sitemap link

[Boofo]

She only has those errors on her portal page. The forums page shows right. It is because the link lacks the forums directory in it. She has been notified by PM about it. ;)

[basilrath]

strange i had the previous version and overwritten files but not working ?

any ideas Boofo

[Boofo]

It looks fine to me. What is not working?

If you had a previous version, why haven't you clicked the install button?

[MrFlicks]

What other type of site maps? You lost me, sorry. ;)

Hi Boofo

Someone else mentioned extending this to include other pages. (Which was part of what I had also mentioned previously)

I would like to know if that will be happening to as if you look at my site and the site map here > Site Map (http://www.tvworlds.com/forum/info.php?do=sitemap) install you will see the site map does not include pages that are essentially external to the VBulletin software lke for example my index page which is using VBAdvanced.

I would like to see pages external to the forum being displayed to - maybe on the right side of page so it is clear that links down the left are internal to the forum and the ones on the right are external to the forum if you get my drift

[Boofo]

I have looked into that and decided it would be more of a headache than it is worth to add external pages support. If I add VBAdvanced support, then I have to worry if they change things later on and trying to keep up with that between versions, as well as support for whatever else comes along as external pages.

If vb adds support for those in the future, then this should pick it up fine as it uses the forumcache.

[basilrath]

It looks fine to me. What is not working?

If you had a previous version, why haven't you clicked the install button?

My apolagies.....................clicked install.

*hangs head in shame*:(

[Boofo]

Better late than never. ;)

If you have clicked install before, you would have gotten the update when it was released. It is a good habit to get into as it shows the hack authors they are appreciated as well as keeps you informed of bug fixes and updates. Just some food for thought. ;)

[basilrath]

Ill try and remember all of these things in the future.......................once again my apolagies to any authors that i may have forgotten to click install on.

[vcruiser]

Can I get the link to work somehow from , vBadvanced, PhotoPost, PhotoClassifieds, etc.?

[Boofo]

You will have to set it up how you set up other links in those programs.

[joyceleong]

Hi Boofo,

In reference to the vbulletin.org sitemap, how do i create the New To Site and Need Help section under the sitemap?

Thanks.

[Boofo]

That is another hack by Princeton called GTFooter Info Panel. Check his profile.

[KanmaiseR]

Thank you :) installed..

[vcruiser]

Thanks to Brian at vBa, I was able to get the link working to the site map by adding 'info.php' to the footer replacement section in vBa.

I am unsure of how to get the sitemap linked form PP and PC. Can anyone help? No help from Photopost.

[Boofo]

The Site Map has worked with vba installed all along. What are you talking about with "the footer replacement section in vBa?"

[Super Jinni]

maybe my this seems to be foolish, but I'll say it though, is it possible to make html site mab beside this one? ^^


thanks

:)

[Boofo]

Not with this hack, no. Sorry. ;)

[vcruiser]

- Your mod worked perfectly in VB.
- From vBa the link to my site map, didn't open the site map, it opened a 404 page. It never worked with vba.
- I added 'info.php' to the Footer Replacements settings, and the link from vba to the site map worked.
- I have photopost and photoclassifieds integrated with vb. When I go to either program the link to the site map goes to a 404 page.

I am trying to get the link, to open the sitemap, instead of the 404 page when using photopost and photoclassifieds.

[Boofo]

Since I don't use any of those programs, I can't tell you how to fix it, sorry. Maybe someone else who uses those programs will be able to help you in here.

[Super Jinni]

Not with this hack, no. Sorry. ;)

I was pointing to another one.

new one ;)

^^

[Boofo]

I won't be doing a new one, sorry.

[Baldilocks]

I am trying to add this to Google's Webmaster tools for SiteMap inclusion. It tells me that I am using the wrong format and that it's not supported.

Any ideas??

[Boofo]

This won't work for that. You need another mod for that. Read the thread as it was discussed in here somewhere, I think.

[NFLfbJunkie]

I have the Site Map MOD installed and I get the main site map page by going to the myforums/info.php?do=sitemap link. However, when I click on any of the RSS images I get a blank page. I have followed all of the intructions.

[NFLfbJunkie]

I figured it out. I had my forums turned "off". Turned on and everything is displaying. INSTALLED.

[Super Jinni]

Ooops

anyway, many thanks for this

I hope some one come up with that

^^

[TheInsaneManiac]

I had to uninstall as in the Site Map it showed forums I did not want my members to know existed. Like Staff forums and stuff.

[Boofo]

You were able to see those forums because of the permissions. Regular users who could not see those forums could not see them in the site map either. The permissions work. Did you try logging out and looking at the site map?

[Baldilocks]

Why do people never think of that? ;)

[Boofo]

Because it's easier and more fun to complain, of course. ;)

[Baldilocks]

This is true. :)

[Boofo]

That kind of thing makes me want to run out and code 11 more hacks. ;)

[ade5675]

Your mod worked perfectly well (even in 3.6.8)
Thanks Boofo :up:

***INSTALLED***

[Boofo]

You had doubts? LOL

[K4GAP]

Great product! I have but one slight problem, the rss button at the top of the site map leads me to a bare page with not even any source to view. What did I do wrong?

[Boofo]

Great product! I have but one slight problem, the rss button at the top of the site map leads me to a bare page with not even any source to view. What did I do wrong?

Do you have the RSS feeds setting turned on in the Admin CP?

[K4GAP]

Feed is enabled but nothing else in that section of my admin cp has ever been configured. Are there certain settings I should change in order to make this work?

[Boofo]

Is the feed button the only thing that isn't working? How about the feed button in each forum?

[K4GAP]

That might be the indicator.... I'm not seeing a feed button in the forums. But, to answer your question, all the other buttons are working.

[Boofo]

PM me a link to your site map.

[TheInsaneManiac]

You were able to see those forums because of the permissions. Regular users who could not see those forums could not see them in the site map either. The permissions work. Did you try logging out and looking at the site map?
But when I try to view it I get a blank page lol. Meaning everything I enabled for some guest to not be able to view, none of my members can...

Can anyone suggest how I can get PhotoPost Pro and the VbBlog to show on my site map???

Thanks

My last post seems to have been overlooked.

I read over the thread and could not find a solution to my problem. I would like to get

- PhotoPost; &
- vB Blog to be listed.

Is there a way to force the links to appear?

Also, I assume that one can make their own personal entries on the Site Map? Can you provide general info on this.

Thanks for the great mod.

joeycano

[Boofo]

PhotoPost has already been added to the links. vB Blog would be easy enough to add. Just look in the template for the mod as the links are in there.

[TheInsaneManiac]

Bug:
If guests can not view a forum, the rss will appear blank even if members have permission to view.

[Boofo]

That is not a bug. That is exactly how vb works. You only see what guests can see, no matter who you are.

Now, please click install.
