Someone contacted me through the contact form<\/a> to ask me where is the xml sitemap generated by the xml sitemap module for pligg<\/a> .<\/p>\n

If he would have read my first post<\/a> about this module I think he would have eventually figured out where it is but since that first post was written a long time ago let me answer that question in this post. <\/p>\n

I will do this in a post instead of answering privately because maybe there are others that might run into the same problem and I hate answering the same question over and over. <\/p>\n

The module doesn't generate a sitemap but a sitemap index ( that's basically just a list of sitemaps in xml ) and unless you're using cache the module will generate it every time someone goes to the sitemap's URL. <\/p>\n

If you're not using friendly urls for sitemaps then the url to the sitemap will be :
\n http:\/\/yourpliggsite.com\/module.php?module=xml_sitemaps_show_sitemap
\nIf you want to use friendly urls for the sitemap you will have to configure it as described here<\/a><\/p>\n

Last time I checked ( when I first created the module ) ask.com could not be pinged unless your sitemap url looked like a static url or\/and was ending in .xml and this is why I created the module with this choice in mind. If you don't care about pinging ask.com or if ask.com changed it's policy ( can anyone check this ? ) then you don't need friendly urls for sitemaps. <\/p>\n

For the future I would appreciate if such questions would be asked in the comments instead of private contact. I prefer the comments for answering questions about my posts or the code in my posts because this way others can benefit from my answers or others can contribute. <\/p>\n

The contact form would be for private matters like asking for consultancy , business proposals or others that don't fit into the comments. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
