Since recent Google acts have resulted in my site dropping from 1200 indexed pages to 300, and a lot of important content pages were missing (pretty much only tag pages were in the index now), I gave in and tried this mod again.

Previously I was disappointed that there were no hooks or anything for me to modify URLs. I have some custom mods that use forum and thread tables, but have non-showthread URLs. Because of this, last time we just made our own sitemap manually, so it included only the most important pages.

This time around I spent about 3 hours doing file edits and making this work with Project Tools, which also accounts for a large portion of our site.

I guess I'll see if it works for us. The first generated sitemap has about 5000 URLs.

I suspect we lost a bunch of indexed pages recently because it's possible Google sandboxed us -- we released a product with a copyright link, so suddenly 980,000 links to the product page appeared on the web within 1 or 2 days -- which was way more linkbacks than we had to all other pages combined.
