Board Optimization - 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"

Find

PHP Code:

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


Add Above

PHP Code:

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


Demo

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.

[nrms?]

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...?

Just hardcode the link, by replacing

PHP Code:

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


with

PHP Code:

<a href="http://www.example.com/forum/sitemap.php">Sitemap</a> - 


Put your forum location instead of example.com/forum

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

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:

PHP Code:

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


Replace

PHP Code:

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