SitemapXML v.2

[DivaVocals]

I thought about it. But did not do for two reasons:
1. This function is practically no demand. For me the whole time about it is asked only two times.
2. I am afraid that increase the functionality will lead to a significant increase in the number of problems and issues. You look - what now occurs issues. And this despite the fact that the installation and use is simply nowhere.

Just want to be clear.. NOT ONCE did I suggest you modify this module to include any additional functionality (in case this is what you walked away from my previous posts with it was NOT what I was suggesting)

But it really has nothing to do with XML. What's the point in adding in SitemapXML such links? To the search engine found this page?

Again.. So you can submit only ONE XML sitemap which captured both the blog and store URLs.

Think without this, the search engine does not find the correct page?
The task of SitemapXML - provide a list of the leaf pages with additional information, including the very important information about the date of the last modification of the page. This information allows the search engine to plan bypassing the site, indexing in the first turn new page of.

Yeah.. I get this.. Do I think this will work.. well.. it's supposed to according to Sitemap.org

Web crawlers usually discover pages from links within the site and from other sites. Sitemaps supplement this data to allow crawlers that support Sitemaps to pick up all URLs in the Sitemap and learn about those URLs using the associated metadata. Using the Sitemap protocol does not guarantee that web pages are included in search engines, but provides hints for web crawlers to do a better job of crawling your site.

and AGAIN, I know that at least ONE WordPress XML Sitemap plugin (XML Sitemap Generator for WordPress) allows you to add additional URLs to your XML sitemap with all of the very important information the search engines require.. From the XML Sitemap Generator for WordPress settings page.

Here you can specify files or URLs which should be included in the sitemap, but do not belong to your Blog/WordPress.
For example, if your domain is www.foo.com and your blog is located on www.foo.com/blog you might want to include your homepage at www.foo.com

• Note: If your blog is in a subdirectory and you want to add pages which are NOT in the blog directory or beneath, you MUST place your sitemap file in the root directory (Look at the "Location of your sitemap file" section on this page)!
• URL to the page: Enter the URL to the page. Examples: http://www.foo.com/index.html or www.foo.com/home
• Priority: Choose the priority of the page relative to the other pages. For example, your homepage might have a higher priority than your imprint.
• Last Changed: Enter the date of the last change as YYYY-MM-DD (2005-12-31 for example) (optional).

So I can use this to simplify my sitemap by only submitting ONE which includes all the links in my blog and my store.. and again let me be clear, I am NOT suggesting that you change this add-on AT ALL.. (never said that once)

But what is the point of getting ONE Sitemap for all integrated systems?

Goodness.. Let me summarize here and move on because now we are going in circles.. I have said a few times here the reason for my suggestion is very simple.. The ORIGINAL question posed by mattee77 was

Can anyone please help...I have added a blog to my url htp://stickerstocker.co.uk/blog how do I get the sitemap to include this url?

It sounded to me like he did not want to have to submit TWO XML sitemaps to the search engines (one for the blog and another for the store). At the VERY least it sounded like he wanted to make sure his Zen Cart XML sitemap included the URL to the blog.. I offered two suggestions in that regard.

1. Add an EZ Page link to the blog, and this module would pick up that URL and include it in the XML sitemap.
2. Use a WordPress plugin to manage the whole site's XML sitemaps thereby avoid having to generate on XML sitemap for the store and another for the blog.
   
   To do this he could create his XML sitemap in WordPress using a WordPress plugin. I knew that at least ONE plugin allowed you to include other site URLs as part of your XML sitemap. Using one of these plugins, mattee77 could add additional URLs to the XML sitemap for the store (I suggested using the URL for the Zen Cart HTML sitemap page since it contains all of the product and category links to simplify things).

So you have asked why would anyone do this??? Let me state AGAIN.. You'd do this so that one could submit only ONE XML sitemap which captured both the blog and store URLs. Personally using the options in the XML Sitemap Generator for WordPress plugin is my preferred method if I have both a blog and a store on the same site since it's easy enough to do and it simplifies the management of the XML sitemap for the site... Clearly you disagree with this approach.. and that's fine.. We'll just have to agree to disagree that's all..
