sitemap of products from categories

Submitted by clare on Sat, 2007-07-28 08:33 in

Hi,
I wondered whether it would be a simple thing to change the sitemap.php to map the products via the categories instead of the merchants.

I just thought it may be beneficial with regard to keywords in the urls.

Hi Clare,

In order to map the products by category they would require a link to the product with the category in the URL, which is not supported (all products are linked via /product/product-name.html with search engine friendly URLs enable). If you created a large site with per-category isntallations in sub-directories then by default the category would be in the URL, but not a database driven category as such...

Cheers,
David.

My site does have per category installations in sub directories, so I guess if I submit the sitemaps from the category subdirectory installations instead of the root sitemap these will have the category names as well as the merchants.

Thanks
