Hi, Are there any tips on creating a sitemap for PHPNUKE. I cannot find a sitemap creator that will make an xml sitemap with all my urls as they all have an amphersand & in them. Are there any ideas? Thank you kindly.
There is a mod here http://guggemahier.de/text-23.phtml but it is in German, you might need to translate it if you do not understand german
Do you mean like this: http://example.com/page.html?param1=value1¶m2=value2 That won't cause problems for most sitemap generators including my sitemap creator program.
No, I mean like this http://www.metalthrone.net/modules.php?name=Forums&file=index&sid=cac3fc55271e0f94071b8db3851354c1 It is the & that causes the problem.
Normally there is nothing complicated in handling urls with GET paramaters in them ? and &. However, you may be referring to the session ID in the url you gave? The "sid=cac3fc55271e0f94071b8db3851354c1" part? Or perhaps you are referring to some sitemap generators not handling urls with "&" in them correctly when generating XML sitemaps? If I understood you correctly, both problems are fairly basic. I suggest you try some alternatives, e.g. my A1 Sitemap Generator program.
Thats the one. I tried the program(Very Very good program which worked well), however i still get the following error at the url http://www.metalthrone.net/sitemap.xml The XML page cannot be displayed Cannot view XML input using style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Invalid at the top level of the document.

There is something odd with the http://www.metalthrone.net/sitemap.xml your refer: It starts with " <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><urlset xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84"> " But the sitemaps A1 Sitemap Generator makes currently, and for some time now, starts with: " <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"> " This indicates to me you are using an old program / version. Try download the latest version and install it. For an overview of updates (not all improvements/changes/fixes listed though), check: http://www.micro-sys.dk/products/sitemap-generator/history.php You could also have contacted me at support(at)micro-sys.dk Here's a screenshot of how your sitemap.xml should look like when viewed in a text editor: http://www.micro-sys.dk/people/thomas-schulz/examples/sitemaps-example-metal.png
