xml file?Posted: Tue Feb 20, 2007 3:56 am    Post subject: xml file?

I must be an idiot but I can not see where the .xml files for the sitemap are? I have mod rewrite enabled but do not know where the xml files are?

or do they not exist and that is what the rewrite does is rewrites sitemap.php to sitemap.xml.gz?

or do I just submit the sitemap.php file to google and yahoo?

it has been a long day so if the answer is easy, please forgive me Very Happy

Thanks

Correct, .htaccess is remapping them (excerpted from the mod):

Code:
# SitemapIndex
RewriteRule ^sitemaps\.([xml|xml\.gz]+)$ /sitemap.php [L]
# Yahoo! urllist.txt
RewriteRule ^urllist\.([txt|txt\.gz]+)$ /urllist.php [L]


You submit -www.yourdomain.com/forums/sitemaps.xml to google and -www.yourdomain.com/forums/urllist.txt to Yahoo. FWIW, I've submitted both formats to Yahoo and it accepts both (probably as part of the sitemaps.org work).

ok, I understand that now but why is it that the sitemaps.xml file only has my forums in it and not a list of all the topics/posts?

Shouldn't it map out all the posts? I had a mod installed previously and this is how it worked which seemed pretty good.

well, www.phpbb-seo.com/sitemaps.xml.gz is the module sitemapindex, if you follow links in it, you'll find the topic links.

That's how the standard works, a sitemapindex listing sitemaps.
Each sitemap can list up to 50 000 urls. Only the sitemapIdex needs to be submitted for all sitemaps to be used by bots.
