Site Map for vB3.7
Version 1.0.4
(By Boofo)

What does this product do?
This product will add a Site Map to your site, similar to the one on vbulletin.org, but with no queries.

Version Information:
Version 1.0.1 --Initial release for vB3.7
Version 1.0.2 --Added additional site links to the bottom of the site map.
Version 1.0.3 --Added checks for external files (PhotoPost, The Arcade, Paul M's Flashchat Integration hack for vB3.7 and The Radio and TV hack). If the corresponding files are found on your site in their default locations, the links will show for those hacks. If the files are not found, the links will not show. Also added RSS Feeds buttons for Google, Windows Live and Yahoo.
Version 1.0.4 --Code has been totally re-written. Added RSS Feeds buttons for MSN, AOL, Bloglines, Newsgator and Technorati. Added new mouseover affect. Redid the file checks and made some of them product checks. Added vB News link.

Branding: A Copyright has been added to the footer and is not allowed to be removed. If you want the copyright removed, you must contact me via PM for terms.

I have looked into that and decided it would be more of a headache than it is worth to add external pages support. If I add VBAdvanced support, then I have to worry if they change things later on and trying to keep up with that between versions, as well as support for whatever else comes along as external pages.

If vb adds support for those in the future, then this should pick it up fine as it uses the forumcache.

My apolagies.....................clicked install.

Better late than never.

If you have clicked install before, you would have gotten the update when it was released. It is a good habit to get into as it shows the hack authors they are appreciated as well as keeps you informed of bug fixes and updates. Just some food for thought.

Ill try and remember all of these things in the future.......................once again my apolagies to any authors that i may have forgotten to click install on.

Can I get the link to work somehow from , vBadvanced, PhotoPost, PhotoClassifieds, etc.?

[Boofo]

You will have to set it up how you set up other links in those programs.

Hi Boofo,

In reference to the vbulletin.org sitemap, how do i create the New To Site and Need Help section under the sitemap?

Thanks.

[Boofo]

That is another hack by Princeton called GTFooter Info Panel. Check his profile.

Thank you installed..

Thanks to Brian at vBa, I was able to get the link working to the site map by adding 'info.php' to the footer replacement section in vBa.

I am unsure of how to get the sitemap linked form PP and PC. Can anyone help? No help from Photopost.
