There are a few vBulletin Google Site maps around, but none as comprehensive as this that I have seen. This vBulletin Google site map is based on Kalius's work on discussed on his site and at Digitalpoint

FYI, the vBulletin Google Site Map modification contains at least one potential remote file include exploit. You are hereby notified that you should uninstall this modification, including the removal of the vBulletin Google Site Map PHP files from your server. The author of the modification has been notified, and the vBulletin Google Site Map thread has been moved to the Modification Graveyard forum.

vBulletin Google site map
with ability to add extra urls
(c) by T2DMan - Michael Brandon

8Nov05+13hrsGMT - update. Added support for Yahoo Sitemap & bug fix
7Nov05+13hrsGMT - update. Thanks for your help.

I have attached 1 version with 2 different preset configs for your convenience. vBSEO and non vBSEO configs.

Configure in the vbgsitemap-config.php file.
$base=""; // "" if in root, $base="forum/"; //if in the subdirectory forum

It now works well with forum permissions, and the vBulletin's scheduled task system. I have personally installed the reviewed vBGSiteMap on a site with over 200,000 urls. Copes with the large number of urls with no problems.

The vBGSiteMap works well with vbSEO, and it lists all the old url's to allow Google to spider the old url's and so find the 301 redirects to the new, and so delete the old url's from its index.

Compared to the previous versions

  • Sitemap files now written into their own directory - means this can be safely chmod 777 - thanks Sarah King
  • config and class files separated out
  • new help file written
  • many corrections made to the code - amazing what sitting on a piece of code can do, and amazing what you can learn from personally installing on many different servers.
  • Can now work on mysql versions from 3.23.58 to 5+
Specifications
  • works with v3.03 - 3.5
  • access to this file is password protected
the same password as the database via the vBulletin includes/config.php file
  • creates an index file and multiple gzipped site maps to less than the maximum permitted by Google (I have in fact restricted it to 3k url's, rather than 50k as my browser takes a while to process the file when checking it)
  • creates a gzipped file containing the urls for Yahoo Sitemap
  • the site map files are created in the /vbgsitemap/files directory which needs to be chmod to 777
adds
  • forums - with paginations of forums (excluding redirects and password protected forums)
  • threads - with pagination of threads (excluding invisible threads=soft deleted, and threads inside password protected forums)
  • archive forum pages with paginations
  • archive versions of threads with paginations
  • members
extra
  • extra urls from other program types
  • add a new url per line onto file.txt, and a gzipped file will be created for it, and added to the site index file.
How to install
  • unzip the files
  • copy the vbgsitemap folder to your root directory
  • chmod the vbgsitemap/files directory to 777
  • copy vbgsitemap.php to your root directory
  • copy the includes/cron/vbgsitemap-cron.php file to your vbulletin includes/cron/ directory
  • look over the configuration options on the /vbgsitemap/vbgsitemap-config.php file
    • $base="" or "forum/" - if your forum is the actual root, or in the forum directory etc.
    • $addthreadarchive=false; - whether you want the archive version of the threads to be added or not.
    • the rest should not need to be changed
    • change to $xtrafile="file.txt"; if you have additional urls that you want included from another package, get a list of those url's and add them to file.txt.
  • Then access the /vbgsitemap/index.php file in your browser to get things happening.
  • The username/password is the username/password of your database.
  • Add the resulting one index file to Google sitemaps: http://www.yourdomain.com/vbgsitemap.php
  • Add the other file to Yahoo sitemaps
    http://www.yourdomain.com/vbgsitemap/files/urllist.gz
  • A cron job can be setup in the vbulletin scheduled tasks

    • ./includes/cron/vbgsitemap-cron.php
    • depending on the number of posts/new threads to your forum, set to run daily or weekly etc. The cron will automatically ping Google and return success/failure into the cron log.

You only want to raise the chmod untill the sitemap files have been created. then return the setting to 650.

Heh sorry about the previous deal, Your site scripts are in public_html/forum/ so chmod 777 the /forum dir and see what happens then.

I have to say I just checked google and I went from only 650 links to 11,300 in a matter of days.

I submitted around 19,000 links to google but I'm happy with the results so far. I just installed vbSEO and the file creation works. However to get the full benifit I think everyone is still waiting on the vbsitemap_vbseo.php file that will make this work along with vbSEO.

I think that is going to be huge because then you are submitting links with good keywords which I would hope would help your postition in the searches.

1) It is the username and password of your mysql db for the forum (see config.php)

2) the version line needs to look like this:
PHP Code:
$v=';3.5;//3.5;//vBulletin version 3.5 (or leave as zero for v3.3-3.7) 
not like this
PHP Code:
$v='';3.5;//3.5;//vBulletin version 3.5 (or leave as zero for v3.3-3.7) 
thx for the hack

I have now released a totally revised version that has been successfully installed on forums with tens of thousands of threads.

The new version is now only available for purchase via -Link removed -.

Its surprising how complicated it can get to do it all well.

The sitemap works well with the vbseo url rewrites, and is able to be modded for other rewrite hacks. I have got it setup for the vbulletin scheduled task system as well.

There are screen dumps via the above link. Have a look.
