Will it work on my Vanilla Forum?
These addons are for people who downloaded and set up their own Vanilla forum. Compare your downloaded version with the version requirements on the right.
If your Vanilla forum is hosted at VanillaForums.com, this addon may already be installed there.

This addon is a plugin. You need to extract it to your
/plugins folder to install it.Generates a http://www.sitemaps.org/ compliant sitemap for Google and other search engines to use.
You must edit the default.php file to enter any custom URLs (anything you want indexed that isn't a Discussion or User). If you have User account pages disabled for guests, then change renderUsers to FALSE to prevent sending Google to pages it cannot reach.
It should be obvious that if your forum is not visible to guests, then this extension is pointless, do not install it.
Edit your robots.txt file to include this line to have your Sitemap auto-discovered:
NOTE: THIS EXTENSION IS IN BETA.
For now this extension is in beta to test the concept. Updates will improve the structure and performance. I do not recommend using this extension on a large forum at the moment as the output can be dramatic and you will have created a denial of service method.
It is intended that a later version will periodically generate static gzip'd Sitemaps that paginate to other files at 20,000 URLs, when those are added and stable I'll update the version to 1.0 and it will be fine for large forum installs.
PRE-REQUISITES:
PHP 5 for the W3C/ISO8601 data format.
