New/different sitemap component - Page 3

martintibird · 15.08.2004, 06:43

I've found that google does indeed "see" the SEF URL (via d51SEF) and non-SEF URL (via jm_sitemap) for one page, and stores info about two pages - which have identical content.

I'm a bit concerned google might penalise me for apparently tending to have duplicates for my pages (as some sort of attempt to spam search engines?); indeed, after quick check of a very few pages, seems some have fallen in google.

I'd installed the sitemap partly as seemed a great way to likely enhance google navigating my site; but now I'm concerned it won't help google rankings, but might even do a bit of accidental harm, just unpublished it. [not deleted; it's otherwise great] I'd be interested in comments.

Hmm.. for those who didn`t know how to install here is the tip (I tryed too ..and same problem with XML file):

Edit jmsitemap.xml and remove the "-" caracter from file:

" - <files>" is should be only " <files>"

There are 3 "-" to be removed. You can do how you like.. unzip files .. and zip them back after modification.

Good luck to everyone.

Had lost track of this thread..
Anyone still interested in the modded file?

Also, I found a nice show/hide script, planning on adding this,
test here:
http://axelgap.free.fr => the first orange bar with the + sign..

Let me know

I 2 am intrested in the modifed script with the show an hide.
It seems to mee that if this had a complete admin interface better control we could have better control, allowing for on and off buttons of sect/cat's etc.

Please, let me make things clear:
I am not adding much code to this, my PHP-knwoledge is far from sufficient.
All I'm doing is modifying the display generated by jmayer's component.

The show/hide feature I'm planning at the moment will only be frontend,
the component will still spit out everything,
only change -if I get this to work- is that user will be able to collapse/expand individual sections and/or categories.

Sounds ok?
I would be interested in a (better) backend also though...

I have made some adjustments to this script as well.. mainly adding parameters that allow you to control what displays on the map, (sections, categories, items, unplublished items, and registered only items)

Still very beta, but I'll up the php here..

Things I would like to do:

Exchange Tables for CSS..
Make positioning more flexable.. (Right now controled by the sql statments)
Add options to not include categories by name..
Build a front end to edit these parameters in a more friendly way..

Just replace the jmsitemap.html.php in the jm sitemap component directory with the attached..

These lines at the top control content:

$show_components = 1; //List Components
$show_section = 1; //Show Section
$show_category = 1; //Show Category
$show_registered = 1; //Show Registered User Sections.
$show_items = 1; //Show Items
$show_unpublished = 0; //Show Unpublished Items

Great to see of some modifications made to sitemap.

Any chance of changes to URLs it outputs? As mentioned, I don't want to apparently produce duplicate pages (same page, different URLs), lest search engines like Google judge me a spammer.
Ideally, for me, should somehow work with d51SEF, tho might be too much to ask!
- solution I've adopted so far isn't elegant, but seems to work: mymenu, with URLs to Items pasted in. (That's gonna be painful, as and when have a lot more pages!)

So this is the same component as this one: http://forum.mamboserver.com/showthread.php?t=10199

People have been modifying the same component the, maybe someone can have a look there as wel, to find some nice code to add?

Cheers :P

Oh, still wish it could be done with SEF though..
