Notes


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, TNG 9, TNG 10, and TNG 11, and made 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, TNG 10.1. and TNG 11
  • A backup of the TNG modules involved - see below.

Automated Installation

  1. Download the config file from the Mod Summary in the upper right hand corner of this page
  2. Extract the downloaded config file into your mods folder.
  3. 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 & TNG 11

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 :-)
