Hello,

The Extended Sitmap extensions was released today
http://www.magentocommerce.com/extension/1977/extended-sitemap
It replaces the default Magento Google Sitemap functionality for auto generation of XML Site Map files with a more optimized and advanced functionality.
Also it allows you to display all of your existing Catalog Categories, Products, CMS Pages and additional configurable links with a hierarchical structure SEO optimized for web spiders.

Btw, thanks for the post. It really helps

Use this
$_def_cat = $_product->getData(‘default_category’);

Hi,

I want to separate my category and product web sitemap (not google sitemap).

http://www.mysite.com/catalog/seo_sitemap/category/
http://www.mysite.com/catalog/seo_sitemap/product/

The above both sitemap are created from the “/app/design/frontend/default/default/template/catalog/seo/sitemap.phtml” but I want to modify both the sitemap, so can we make two seprate files “category_sitemap.phtml and product_sitemap.phtml” so that both the sitemaps gets created from the different files. How can I do this?

And one more thing, on product sitemap I want a product attribute as
$_def_cat = $_item->getAttributeText(‘default_category’);

“default_category” I have created from admin panel.

But “default_category” attribute is not coming on this page. Can u please guide me how can i get the value of a product attribute on sitemap.

Thanks

Hi Tela,
Yes, you can set up a cron job in the Magento administration. If you have trouble with it, you can occasionally recreate the sitemap using the steps above.

Thanks so much for the tip! Exactly what I was missing.

Now I have a question for the update of the sitemap. Do we need to manually set up a cron job like you refered to on step 3? Or is it enough to set up the cron in the admin?

Thank you, the manual url was exactly what I was looking for. Now if there was a way to hide certain pages from the sitemap that would be awesome as well.
