Sitemap is a new module for phpwebsite 1.5 or better. Sitemap is used to generate a sitmap.xml file, following the standards at sitemaps.org. These sitemap files are used by google and other popular search engines to help them index your website.

Sitemap does this by gathering all the links from one or more of your menus, as well as some other keyed items, filtering and preparing according to your sitemap settings, and then writing the xml for you. It can also provide a live sitemap xml feed.

This release of Sitemap (0.5.0) although beta, seems to be stable. It is safe for production sites.

Grab it here at the sourceforge phpws-comm site.

If you have any comments or bugs to report, please discuss the module here at phpwsforums.com
