Well, there is actually no .xml physical file. that's why we are using mid rewrite a bit hence the .htaccess.
Then the location depends on where is you sitemap.php file (same for rss.php and rss feeds) :
In this forum, sitemap.php is in the boards/ folder :

# Google Sitemaps :

* SitemapIndex :
www.phpbb-seo.com/boards/sitemaps.xml
* Per forum sitemap :
www.phpbb-seo.com/boards/gym-sitemaps-gf44.xml
* forums sitemap :
www.phpbb-seo.com/boards/forum-sitemap.xml

Your .htaccess looks ok, if your rewritten forum URLs works, the GYM on should as well.

Try to load yourdomain.com/sitemap.php, should be your sitemapindex.
You'll need to activate mod rewrite in the GYM acp as well as styling if you want them to look like ours.

What if you try one thing at a time : first install the GYM sitemaps module without the .htaccess and then, when it runs, start to play with url rewriting.

It the forum working all right ? with rewritten urls ?

still not working, but when i delete this code :

# SITEMAP SITE TXT
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)-gx\.(xml(\.gz)?)$
/sitemap.php?xml=$1 [L]

and my .httacces :

And i uninstall gym sitemap.xml this is work.

May be i have a problem with this GYM sitemap.xml installation, i do this task:

Installation :

* Upload the mx_ggsitemaps/ folder content from the archive to your online mx_ggsitemaps/ folder.
* Add the following rewriterule after the GYM sitemaps one in your .htaccess :
Code:
# SITEMAP SITE TXT
RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)-gx\.(xml(\.gz)?)$ /sitemap.php?xml=$1 [L]

Or :
Code:
# SITEMAP SITE TXT
RewriteRule ^phpbb/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)-gx\.(xml(\.gz)?)$ /phpbb/sitemap.php?xml=$1 [L]

If, for example, your forum is installed in the phpbb/ folder.

but i'm not sure with this:

XML lists :

* XML list must be valid Google sitemaps and be uploaded in the mg_ggsitemaps/txt_lists/ folder.

* You must name each in the following manner :
url_site_map-name.xml
The above example will auto-generate a new entry in the sitemaIndex :
/site_map-name-gx.xml (or /sitemap.php?xml=site_map-name without URL rewriting), obviously linked to the corresponding sitemap listing.

* You can add as many as you want, each xml file, following this simple standard, will add an entry in the sitemapIndex and create a new sitemap.

* You can use several method to to build your txt lists, such as the many online sitemaps services.

Warning:

URLs listed in url_list.txt must be part of the same domain (or sub-domain) as the SitemapsIndex (sitemap.php) and shall not be located above in the folder structure.

If sitemap.php is located in :www.example.com/dossier/sitemap.php

You can add :
-http://www.example.com/dossier/*.*

But you can't add :
-http://www.example.com/*.*

Or :
-http://sous-domaine.example.com/*.*

May be i like an idiot, i never study about php, and i'm newbie in this forum phpbb, and my english is not too good either, can you explain what i have to do with this ?, i must manually build the second task or i just copy paste all of directory of gym sitemap.xml folder only ?.

sory one more question, my sitemap like this :

−
<sitemapindex xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9 http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap ... eindex.xsd">
−

−
<sitemap>
−
<loc>
http://lowongankerja.freehostia.com/sitemap.php?forum
</loc>
<lastmod>2007-08-22T18:30:50+00:00</lastmod>
</sitemap>
−
<sitemap>
−
<loc>
http://lowongankerja.freehostia.com/sitemap.php?forum=1
</loc>
<lastmod>2007-08-21T17:29:44+00:00</lastmod>
</sitemap>
</sitemapindex>

The sytle is different like your site, i'm sure i cxhange the style in acp, but seem it is not working, but this is working in my rss:

http://lowongankerja.freehostia/rss.php

and what about this url in my sitemap:

http://lowongankerja.freehostia.com/sitemap.php?forum=1

can we change this with advance url, or, just like this in sitemap ?

my second question is already solved, may be take some times to create sitemap style, thanks guys. but i'm still have problem with my first question.

dcz · by **dcz** » Sun Aug 26, 2007 1:14 pm

It's most likely because you did not clear the cache after updating your sitemap settings, and once it was updated they eventually showed up.

About your first question, are you asking if you should regenerate sitemaps and feeds ?

Actually no, sitemaps are dynamically generated, new content will show up by itself as soon as the cache gets updated (configurable in ACP).

All you need to do with Google is to submit your sitemapindex and voilà

Thanks for the answer

I installed Google Yahoo MSN Sitemaps and RSS V1.2.0RC4 mod, should i use this plugin only or i must install GYM Sitemaps XML and Txt to make my forum much seo friendly ?, because i have trouble with two mods installation.

And thanks for the answer, i use PHPBB for the first time and i love phpbb script because this forum and you are great this forum helping me much to understand phpbb script.

dcz · by **dcz** » Sun Sep 02, 2007 12:08 pm

Thanks

Well, you do not have to bother this much about the plug-ins for your forum, they are meant to add listing from over parts of the web site.

The mod does list 100% of phpBB public content.
