Hi, I have a forum with more than a thousand pages that needs a server side script. Does anyone know of a good FREE php script that would generate a XML sitemap for google?
I dont know about "good" but I see a couple free php in here > http://www.dogpile.com/info.dogpl/search/web/inurl%253Asitemap.php
If you really really do not want a desktop solution... (I assume you by that mean a non-crawler solution) Perhaps you should write which forum you are using... Thousands of pages should be no problem for a crawler to do in a reasonble amount of time... Like less than an hour depending on how many thousand and the server/database/forum speed.
Can you try my free online sitemap generator? Which can make a standard sitemap for almost all major search engines, including google.
If you know a little bit server side scripting it wont be hard, just read the Google site map protocol information and run a loop for all the pages (database?), It shouldn't be that hard - i made it in something like 5 minutes, and it works.
Thanks Morishani, I do know ASP , but dont know PHP. The forum is on PHP - so ive got no luck. Can you please pin point me to the google page that contains this information?
Wow, That was quick. I had a look at the page .... but i dont know php so i guess it wont be handy for me. I have found a sitemaps script on http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ which can be installed to the website and be run as a cron. But im not willing to pay for it. Does anyone else know of a FREE script, something like the paid http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ ?
how about http://sitemap.xmlecho.org/sitemap/ they say the script of this site can be installed on your own server but I do not know how to do ...
