XML sitemap

Darren Oh - November 9, 2007 - 18:40

The XML sitemap module creates a sitemap that conforms to the sitemaps.org specification. This helps search engines to more intelligently crawl a website and keep their results up to date. The sitemap created by the module can be automatically submitted to Ask, Google, Bing (formerly Windows Live Search), and Yahoo! search engines. The module also comes with several submodules that can add sitemap links for content, menu items, taxonomy terms, and user profiles.

Please read the included README.txt, the handbook documentation, and the current list of known issues for more information before using the module.

Development roadmap

The 6.x-2.x branch is a complete refactoring with considerations for performance, scalability, and reliability. This version is currently for testing and benchmarking purposes only. Upgrading is not currently supported. Once the 6.x-2.x branch is tested and upgradeable, the the 6.x-1.x branch will no longer be supported. Those wishing to help with the re-write should read any issues tagged with 'Needs architectural review' or http://blog.davereid.net/content/state-of-drupal-xml-sitemap-2009. The 6.x-1.x and 5.x-2.x branches are closed to feature requests.

#D7CX: I (Dave Reid) pledge that XML sitemap 2.x will have a full Drupal 7 release on the day that Drupal 7 is released.
