Purpose of the mod
This mod is provided to make creating a Google sitemap a very simple process by clicking a button in the Secondary Processes tab of TNG Admin ------> Import/Export
Developer
This was originally developed by Steve Hoover as a stand alone file to be installed and run manually. Rush updated it for TNG 7 and Google's new standards for sitemap.xml files. Roger Moffat has tweaked it for TNG 8 and 9 and make it a Mod Manager install.
Requirements
- A working TNG installation. Automated installation has been tested on TNG Version 8.1.3, TNG 9.0.0, TNG 10.0 and TNG 10.1.
- A backup of the TNG modules involved - see below.
Automated Installation
- Download the config file from the Mod Summary in the upper right hand corner of this page
- Extract the downloaded config file into your mods folder.
- Follow the normal automated installation for Mod Manager, as shown in the example Mod Manager - Installing Config Files to install the config file.
After Installation
The Secondary Processes tab in TNG Admin ------> Import/Export shows a new button
TNG 8 & TNG 9
TNG 10
After you click this button, the script will run and then the following page shows what the output is
TNG 10.1 Parameters
Copy the link for the tngsitemapindex.xml file (the large bold link) and then put that into your Google Webmaster Tools sitemap settings if you have this set up, or place it in your robots.txt file like this
Sitemap: http://lisaandroger.com/tngsitemapindex.xml
and Google will find it there.
In the event of a problem
- Try using the Mod Manager Remove capability
- Or copy the backup versions of the TNG modules involved.
Side effects
- Happiness that creating a sitemap that Google will use to draw new cousins to your site is so much easier :-)
