Simple Sitemap

[bjhuang]

What is it

a really simple sitemap for spiders.

Why

vbseo sitemap is good. but i need another sitemap for spiders to crawl my site more NATURALLY and a sitemap to feed spiders other than google and yahoo.

this sitemap script list all of your threads, newest first. the page updates so fast that spiders will check it more often. hopefully it helps your new threads get indexed quickly.

Install

Step 1: upload sitemap.php to your forum root.
Step 2: modify template "footer"

Find

<a href="#top" onclick="self.scrollTo(0, 0); return false;">$vbphrase[top]</a>


Add Above

<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/sitemap.php">Sitemap</a> -


Demo

http://www.bbkz.com/forum/sitemap.php

The most famous travel forum in chinese world - www.bbkz.com (http://www.bbkz.com/forum/)

Works good. Though I would not call it a sitemap, as it does not display a map of your site. Just the a chronological overview of threads

The first page works but none of the subsequent linked pages do.

I am seeing private admin forum topics on the list ---- are forum permissions used in this mod?

Thanks in advance.

[Brandon Sheley]

screenshots or demo link please?
I assume it's this
http://www.backpackers.com.tw/forum/sitemap.php
looks like the archive to me, so that might not be it

[Alfa1]

Permissions work fine. This only shows threads that are visible to guests.

[nrms?]

:confused: It's not open any valid page with .../sitemap.php.

And i have a hyperlink like this ''http://www.XXX-XXX.net/www.XXX-XXX.net/sitemap.php''

Can explain more about this Add-on...?

[Alfa1]

Just hardcode the link, by replacing
<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/sitemap.php">Sitemap</a> -
with
<a href="http://www.example.com/forum/sitemap.php">Sitemap</a> -
Put your forum location instead of example.com/forum

Thanks in advance.

yes, forum permissions are checked. i guess you read the sitemap when you logged in with an admin account.

I dont have this code in my footer.
I am using a custom template, where can I put this?

<a href="#top" onclick="self.scrollTo(0, 0); return false;">$vbphrase[top]</a>

Hi,

The sitemap.php page works correctly.
When i try to navigate to the second page, it gives 404 error.
http://www.yoursite.com/forum/sitemap?offset=100

Also, please tell me how i can point the "View Full Version" link at the top to http://www.yoursite.com/forum/index.php instead of http://www.yoursite.com/forum

did you modified sitemap.php? i guess you've changed the value of $script variable at line2 to "sitemap". it should be "sitemap.php".

for the "View Full Version" link:

Find:

$output .= "\r\n<br/><h1>".$vbphrase['view_full_version'].": <a href='".$vbulletin->options['bburl']."'>".$vbulletin->options['bbtitle']."</a></h1>";


Replace

$output .= "\r\n<br/><h1>".$vbphrase['view_full_version'].": <a href='http://www.yoursite.com/forum/index.php'>".$vbulletin->options['bbtitle']."</a></h1>";

Does it work on 3.6.x and 3.7.x ?

Unsupported file format
Your Sitemap does not appear to be in a supported format. Please ensure it meets our Sitemap guidelines and resubmit.

[bjhuang]

yes, it works on 3.6 and 3.7

and you don't have to submit it to anywhere. it's not in any standard format. it's just a simple page to help spiders crawl your threads.

[Wheemer]

This mod would be a lot better if you could submit it to google

[C138 Kaysone]

my offset is not working... like it wont update the pages or something like that

[munnakv]

Thanks for the reply bjhuang.

did you modified sitemap.php? i guess you've changed the value of $script variable at line2 to "sitemap". it should be "sitemap.php".


I did not modify the second line. It stays as $script = 'sitemap.php';
I changed only the third line to : $count = 2000;

The problem still remains unsolved. :eek:
I even replaced the sitemap.php with the downloaded one, but does not have any effect.
You can have a look at here: http://www.mysite.com/forum/sitemap.php

(Just to remind, the offset link http://www.mysite.com/forum/sitemap.php?offset=2000 leads to a pagenot found error.)

The "View Full Version" link works now. Thanks. :cool:

Does your page loads or it still gives you a 404 error? im trying to figure out what i can do to fix mine as well

http://mytalkcarolina.com/community/sitemap.php

I dont know what is causing the problem for it not to allow going through the pages, only gives me a 404 error

[C138 Kaysone]

Ok now i found the problem & the correction to it, the author only needs to update the php attachment.

when clicking on the page number, it leads you to a 404 error page but as it goes

Before - http://mytalkcarolina.com/community/sitemap?offset=1800 (404 error)

After - http://mytalkcarolina.com/community/sitemap.php?offset=1800 (Will allow to go to next page)

On line 14, just add .php to the variable.

Before
define('SKIP_SESSIONCREATE', 1);
define('DIE_QUIETLY', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'sitemap');After
define('SKIP_SESSIONCREATE', 1);
define('DIE_QUIETLY', 1);
define('THIS_SCRIPT', 'sitemap.php');That way you will no longer see the 404 error page :) hope that helps anyone that uses my correction "which is only small, and author :) you may want to update your sitemap.php attachment with my correction so everyone will have it when they install it into their forum root.

C138 Kaysone, Thanks. It did the trick. It helps to learn the coding at times. :)

Another suggestion / request to bjhuang the thread owner:
Can we eliminate the page "/forum/sitemap.php?offset=0" appearing in the top navigation list, as it is a duplicate of "/forum/sitemap.php?"

open sitemap.php and find

$output .= "<a href='".$sitemap_script."?offset=".(($i-1)*$count)."'>".$i."</a> ";


replace with

if($i==1) $output .= "<a href='".$sitemap_script."'>".$i."</a> ";
else $output .= "<a href='".$sitemap_script."?offset=".(($i-1)*$count)."'>".$i."</a> ";

Just hardcode the link, by replacing

<a href="http://www.example.com/forum/sitemap.php">Sitemap</a> -Put your forum location instead of example.com/forum
@Alfa1, thanks in advance, but after this... continue not open a valid page, simple open a blank page...

Have you other solution...?

[John1uk]

Thanx "installed" :)

Works fine 1st time

[munnakv]

open sitemap.php and find

$output .= "<a href='".$sitemap_script."?offset=".(($i-1)*$count)."'>".$i."</a> ";


replace with

if($i==1) $output .= "<a href='".$sitemap_script."'>".$i."</a> ";
else $output .= "<a href='".$sitemap_script."?offset=".(($i-1)*$count)."'>".$i."</a> ";


Perfect. Appreciate your time and help.
Thanks for that bjhuang :)
