$Id: README.txt,v 1.1.2.2 2008-05-14 02:38:28 darrenoh Exp $ XML Sitemap Module Author: Matthew Loar This module was originally written as part of Google Summer of Code 2005. DESCRIPTION ----------- The XML Sitemap module creates an XML site map at http://www.example.com/?q=sitemap.xml that conforms to the sitemaps.org specification. It provides many options for customizing the data reported in the site map. INSTALLATION ------------ See INSTALL.txt in this directory. SPECIALIZED SITE MAPS --------------------- You can create specialized site maps using Views. To do so, enable both Views and XML Sitemap: Node and create a new view. In the Page settings, choose XML Sitemap: Sitemap as the view type for a regular site map or XML Sitemap: News for a Google News site map. KNOWN ISSUES ------------ Users who have not enabled clean URLs have reported receiving an "Unsupported file format" error from Google. The solution is to replace "?q=sitemap.xml" at the end of the submission URL with "index.php?q=sitemap.xml". Submission URLs for each search engine can be configured at http://www.example.com/?q=admin/settings/xmlsitemap/engines. MORE INFORMATION ---------------- The Sitemap protocol: http://sitemaps.org.
