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.

I'm not reserving the first post.


Wait... Damn!

Been waiting on this one :D

*Installed* :up:

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

Such as front page,gallery etc ?

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

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...

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.

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.

this is good. thanks alot :)

* installed

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

What is this then?

http://www.hibeesbounce.com/forum/fa...orum_newsfeeds

It is at the top of the site map.

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:

[high]* projectego clicks install :)[/high]

Looks pretty nice.
*Installed*

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

simply a great hack!

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.

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

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. ;)

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 ...

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. ;)

:D

OK Bobby :D

INSTALLED!!!!

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.

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 ...

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.

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

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

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.

check HERE

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 many times nominated for the MOTM ... :)

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.

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 ...

Still, 96. ;)

Like this?

forums/radioandtv.php

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

yeah i know :P

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

Radio and TV added! ;)

superb ;)

Any others?
