The SiteMap plugin creates a Google compatible sitemap.xml file of your site's content. It also provides an interactive Site Map for your site's users.
SiteMap honors content permissions, only showing those items which the user has permissions to view.
The SiteMap Plugin uses the glFusion automated plugin installer. Simply upload the distribution using the glFusion plugin installer located in the Plugin Administration page.
The upgrade process is identical to the installation process, simply upload the distribution from the Plugin Administration page.
SiteMap create 2 types of sitemaps, a user viewable sitemap to assist users with navigating the site and a Google compatible sitemap to assist Google with crawling your site.
To configure the SiteMap plugin, navigate to the SiteMap Administration Screen (Command & Control → SiteMap).
