Simple Sitemap
 

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"

Demo

The most famous travel forum in chinese world - www.bbkz.com

good ID :D

Installed

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

Installed

screenshots?

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.

Until that's answered Tagged for Later.

thanks

installed
thx

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

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

Just hardcode the link, by replacing
with
Put your forum location instead of example.com/forum

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>

you could put it anywhere you like.

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:
Replace

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

<a href="https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools" target="_blank">https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools</a>

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

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.

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

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

Thanks for the reply bjhuang.

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

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/...hp?offset=1800 (Will allow to go to next page)

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

Before
After
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
replace with

Thanx "installed" :)

Works fine 1st time

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