Full Fledged Sitemap
philostik - May 20, 2008 - 21:37
Hi All,
We are using two sitemaps (XML sitemap and site_map) modules but both of these are currently unable to meet our needs. While site_map provides only one level of drill down in the menu (not comprehensive because we have 4 level in the menu), XML sitemap poses the restriction of readability for the normal site visitors. Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.

site_map says it will
site_map says it will display the menu fully expanded?
Alternatively I think the newer versions of menutree do same.

menutree serves half the purpose
Hi gpk,
Thank you very much for such a quick reply. Yes, menutree indeed lists all the item and sub-items in the menu but we need all the pages that exist on our website to be a part of that list. While xmlsitemap does serve that need, it doesn't tag any meaning name (or title) to each link becoming it a little difficult for a new visitor...Any suggestion on this will really be helpful.
Thanks.
Sincerely,
Manish Wadhwa
I've not used site_map but
I've not used site_map but the info page does say quite clearly "Any menus that will be displayed fully expanded." ?? Does it handle the pages that are not part of the menu structure?
If there aren't too many pages that aren't part of the menu structure you could just add them to a new menu (which you wouldn't display) and get menutree to do the business on that as well as on the main menu...?
Failing that, you could maybe use a simple custom PHP page with a call to menutree at the top
print module_invoke('menutree', 'display', <menuid>);and then the rest of the pages underneath, got via a cusom SQL query that gets nodes directly from the {node} table iff they have no corresponding entry in the {menu} table (and are published - i.e. status = 1). You might need to run the query through db_rewrite_sql() if some of the nodes have restricted access and you want the site map to adapt accordingly.gpk

I'm having the same issue.
I'm having the same issue. Using Drupal 6.2 with the site_map module, and I have a few books with multiple levels (i.e. main book page > child page > child's child page, etc.). The site map module only displays the top level of the book and the first child element, but not any children of the children. I have checked the site map configuration and I have checked the box for "Show books expanded - When enabled, this option will show all children pages for each book."
Any clues as to why it's not working? Possible bug with the 6.x development version?
Yes I'd have a look in the
Yes I'd have a look in the project's issue queue, and maybe post a new issue there.

any news on the issue?
Having the same problem. Would like to show full tree of my books as a sitemap. Sadly the books+sitemap combination only shows top level. Not so much of a sitemap eh? :)
Tho yes, an extra custom menu for sitemap page only might do the trick.
Have you tried
Have you tried menutree?
