sitemapper/ to your server into the plugins/ directory of CMSimple_XH.config/ und languages/.Plugins → Sitemapper),
and check if all requirements are fulfilled.The configuration of the plugin is done as with many other CMSimple_XH plugins in
the back-end of the Website. Select Plugins → Sitemapper.
You can change the default settings of Sitemapper_XH under Config. Hints for
the options will be displayed when hovering over the help icons with the mouse.
Localization is done under Language. You can translate the character
strings to your own language (if there is no appropriate language file
available), or customize them according to your needs.
Sitemapper_XH makes Sitemaps of your Website available. There is a Sitemap index document, and additional Sitemap documents for each installed language. These documents are created on the fly, and are not stored in the filesystem.
All published pages that are not hidden will be included in the
Sitemaps. Additionally hidden pages will be included when ignore hidden pages
is disabled. You can view the generated Sitemaps in the plugin administration
under Available Sitemaps.
The simplest way to make the Sitemaps available to search engines is to put
the following line to your robots.txt:
Sitemap: http://www.example.com/?sitemapper_indexOf course you have to adjust the URL to your domain name (it is best to just copy and paste the URL to the Sitemap index document from the plugin administration). Another possibility is to submit your Sitemaps to search engines directly (e.g. via the Google Webmaster Tools).
It is possible to override the default settings of changefreq and
priority, which are defined in the plugin config, for each page in the
pagedata tab Sitemap above the editor. For details on this settings, see
XML tag definitions.
Sitemapper_XH generates the URLs in the Sitemaps depending on how the Sitemap has been requested. If the CMSimple_XH installation is accessible via http://example.com/, https://www.example.com/, http://www.example.com/index.php, etc., the URLs may be different each time. To avoid that, you should set up appropriate redirects, what can easily be done with the Seo_XH plugin, for instance.
Sitemapper_XH will only list the actual pages of the content of CMSimple_XH. Additional content that is managed by plugins, e.g. forums or blogs, will not be included in the Sitemap documents.
