Excellent addition, installed perfectly fine. Should i be using the generated sitemap file for inclusion in other search engines such as MSN too?

I cannot get the sitemap to generate. I keep trying to generate one, but i keep getting this note:
Cannot run sitemap generator directly: you should set "Run from vB Scheduled Tasks Manager ONLY" to "No" in admincp to allow this. I changed the line here PHP Code:
also maybe I am just stupid but it seems like you did not close out you ending php tag two files vbseo_sm_config30x.php & vbseo_getsitemap.php your missing the end tag Help me out here? |

1 is 'yes', 0 is 'no'
Or just change the configuration with the AdminCP |

You have to point google to the sitemap_index.xml.gz file, because more sitemap files may be made depending on the amount of allowerd URL's you set in adminCP

You don't need to view them. Just log into Google's Sitemaps site:
http://www.google.com/webmasters/sit...d=us-et-about2 And point it to your gzipped sitemap file. |
