SitemapXML v.2

[SilverHD]

I would still like to know how to get this add-on up and running. I know that it is very important to google to have a mapping system so I know I need it. Can anyone help with this?

OK, I got that part, but I am not familiar with this. what do you do after that? Go to Install SQL Patches?

This was already answered:

Make sure it is copied into the YOUR_ADMIN/
Run it from the browser using the relevant address:
www.yoursite/YOUR_ADMIN/-install-sitemapxml.php

Load that url in your browser to run it.

Sorry if I don't understand. I load it into my browser. Then what do I do? I really don't understand this. The Admin login comes up. I'm at a loss.

Log into your admin.
Replace the placeholder data with your store url in www.yoursite/YOUR_ADMIN/-install-sitemapxml.php
View that page in your browser.

That page *is* the install script.

Once I "view" that page in my browser, then how do I get it installed properly into the plug-in? That's the part I don't understand.

Your question does not make sense. view the page, thenn check to see if you see it in the Tools menu.

Jim:

The reason the question doesn't make sense is because the page is blank. I think that there is something wrong with the code.

The page really was blank, so I just jogged in again and magically, there it was under tools! I have no idea how it got there. Can you explain to me how in the world in layman's terms how that worked so, I or someone else on this Forum needs it can use it again? I really don't understand it and I used it. I would really appreciate it.

Thank you but I am still confused.

Yup. There's nothing to view on the page. All it does is add the item to the menu.

Jim:

Then tell me what should be added to the instructions or possibly even the code that others will not have to deal with this. It's obvious the author didn't know what to do. He even said so. Can you help with this?
