I have installed the xmlsitemap module and everything looks fine.
But I can not find the sitemap under my domain. I also run update.php and cron.php.

so after installation, what I should do to generate sitemap?

Thanks.

IIRC it's at /sitemap and has provided a disabled by default menu item you can find in admin -> menus.

I DO agree it was quite hard to find the first time (I searched in many places, and eventually had to read the code), and would advise that the module should Tell the user what it does when it's installed, as per the Drupal Module Documentation Recommendations, simply with a one-sentence, run-once drupal_set_message() welcome in the install hook.

Hi,
Thanks, dman.
Now, I can find the sitmap in the folder of files/xmlsitemap/sitemap.xml.gz.
But I am not sure if it means I need to manually unzip it and put into the domain folder every time.

thanks again.

Your site map is at example.com/sitemap.xml

By the way, the link is shown at the top of the settings page.

my sitemap is not at example.com/sitemap.xml but at files/xmlsitemap/xmlsitemap.gz and gss.xsl. I do not know what is gss.xsl.

So could author of this module take one minute to write a tutorial?

thanks.

Those are cached files that are used to generate the sitemap. You should always visit the link given on the settings page. If you can provide clearer instructions, I will be happy to include them.

Maybe I'm in the clouds.. I've downloaded the sitemap. The XML file works great. I'm assuming that is generally there for Google and the like to find cause it's just XML. Silly question, but how do I go from this to a nice HTML/CSS drupal powered list in my site?

Thanks for any info.

Cheers,

Adam

This module is not designed to produce anything other than an XML site map. We adopted some XSL code to display it in a readable format, but did not modify the XSL to make it match other Drupal pages.

http://drupal.org/project/site_map

is what I was looking for.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
But just one thing I am not sure. "you should always visit the link given on the setting page", which link and this link will convert the sitemap from the cache to example.com/sitemap.xml?

thanks.

Hi Darren,
I have checked many times but I can not find a link on my XML sitemap setting page, the only link is "content setting type".
Three tabs on the top of setting page are site map, search engines and additional links.

I also checked menu to look for if there is a disabled menu related to xml sitemap but no such kind of link.

I should make clear about my system to avoid the system incompatible:

Drupal 5.3
php 4.4.7
mysql 5.0.45
Web server Apache/1.3.39 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.8.30 OpenSSL/0.9.8b PHP/4.4.7 mod_perl/1.29 FrontPage/5.0.2.2510

any suggestion?

Thanks
Rima

Hi,
I am facng a problem using the module. I have installed the module and it seems to be installed correctly. I checked the sitemap.xml from the settings page link but it shows me the sitemap.xml that i had built about 2 months ago using sitemap builders. All the links in the sitemap shown have been changed and none of the current links are being shown.
Basically the module hasnt created a new sitemap by itself once till now.
To try n correct the things I also deleted the old sitemap from my server (/public_html) but still the sitemap show through /sitemap.xml is the same old one.

Kindly Help
