It would be great if there are configurable options for site_map to do the following:

- List all node titles for every category
Need an option to enable/disable this.
Need an option to limit how many nodes to list (e.g. default of 50)

Nodes listed should be ordered by sticky, then by timestampe, descending

- List the teaser for every node under the node title (enable/disable)

- List author for every node (if author display is enabled in the theme)

- List the number of comments for every node (enable/disable)

These options will make an excellent module much more useful and customizable.

This is essentially what node.module provides for the home page. It is nice indeed!

Hi Nick

There are differences indeed.

The "site map" would display all terms as a hierarchy (indented levels) and the title of each node under it. The teaser can be displayed after the title, or on mouseover (configurable setting)
Term1
- Term2
Node1
Node2
-Term3
Node7
Node3
-Term4
Node6
-Term5
Node5

...etc.

On the other hand node.module will just list nodes chronologically, not under a hierarchy, so visitors will see nodes from all terms. The teaser is displayed after the title.

Node7 (term3)
teaser
Node6 (term 4)
teaser
Node5 (term 5)
teaser
Node3 (term3)
teaser

The idea here is to allow the site visitor to get, at a glance, all the structure of the site and the titles of nodes in it, without too many clicks.

I hope the difference is clearer now.
you get the idea

Yes, that sounds nice. But I am not sufficiently motivated to create this feature. If someone submits a patch, I'll review it.
