Do I have to buy a third party add-on? If so which one?

Is google sitemap creator legit for x-cart? Anybody have experience with this?

Does x-cart provide a module that would be easy to follow for site map generating?

I would love to hear what anybody has to say. Please leave your suggestions/thoughts/personal experience.

THANK YOU!!!!!

Try this one

I have version 4.5 and there is a module to generate a sitemap built in - there are settings to configure it which i've done (in the modules section).

But, how do I generate the site map? and where do I do it?

There is nothing in the manual about how to do it...

Thanks

Justin

Are you talking about the site sitemap or the xml sitemap? The xml one can be generated from its settings page - GO button; the site sitemap does not need to be generated - it is just a link in the speed bar

Hi Steve,

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I'm looking for a feed that is acceptable for webmasters.

I believe it needs to be xml

I tried to submit the link /sitemap.php?type=xml which seemed to look ok, but webmasters wouldn't accept it - says it seems like html?

I've generated a xml sitemap with http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ - which I submitted successfully.

I'd prefer to have xcart generate it's own xml sitemap - but I can't find where to do it...

Do you mean the "GO" button here:

If so, how do I use that? What about the Extra URL's, Add New & Cache generation...Do I need to do something with that?

Thanks again Steve.
