DESCRIPTION
|
| 7 |
-----------
|
| 8 |
The XML Sitemap module creates an XML site map at
|
| 9 |
http://www.example.com/?q=sitemap.xml that conforms to the sitemaps.org
|
| 10 |
specification. It provides many options for customizing the data reported in the
|
| 11 |
site map.

SPECIALIZED SITE MAPS
|
| 18 |
---------------------
|
| 19 |
You can create specialized site maps using Views. To do so, enable both Views
|
| 20 |
and XML Sitemap: Node and create a new view. In the Page settings, choose XML
|
| 21 |
Sitemap: Sitemap as the view type for a regular site map or XML Sitemap: News
|
| 22 |
for a Google News site map.

KNOWN ISSUES
|
| 25 |
------------
|
| 26 |
Users who have not enabled clean URLs have reported receiving an
|
| 27 |
"Unsupported file format" error from Google. The solution is to replace
|
| 28 |
"?q=sitemap.xml" at the end of the submission URL with
|
| 29 |
"index.php?q=sitemap.xml". Submission URLs for each search engine can be
|
| 30 |
configured at http://www.example.com/?q=admin/settings/xmlsitemap/engines.
