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.

Credits:
A big thank you goes out to Kirk Y for supplying the core code, co-authoring and allowing me to release this for vB3.7. Also thanks goes out to Andreas and SirAdrian for their invaluable help and guidance.

It will add RSS Feeds to your Google Home Page and Google Reader. I have no idea what you are talking about with Google Webmaster Tools.

[NolF]

I think he is confusing your hack with this other one :O

[Boofo]

Ah, OK, yeah that almost has to be it because I have no idea what he is talking about. Thanks for clearing that up.

Does this also work for vBadvanced products? For example I have multiple instances of vBa Dynamics running on my site, as well as their Links Gallery.

Will this work?

Thanks.
