Hi David

Cheers

Hello Guillaume,
This should do the trick:
sitemap-categories.php:
<?php
require("includes/common.php");
header("Content-Type: text/xml");
print "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>";
print "<urlset xmlns='http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84' xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xsi:schemaLocation='http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84 http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84/sitemap.xsd'>";
$sql = "SELECT DISTINCT(category) AS category FROM `".$config_databaseTablePrefix."products` ORDER BY category";
$link = @mysql_connect($config_databaseServer,$config_databaseUsername,$config_databasePassword);
@mysql_select_db($config_databaseName,$link);
$result = mysql_unbuffered_query($sql,$link);
$sitemapBaseHREF = "http://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"].$config_baseHREF;
while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result,MYSQL_ASSOC))
{
print "<url>";
if ($config_useRewrite)
{
$sitemapHREF = "category/".urlencode(str_replace(" ","-",$row["category"]))."/";
}
else
{
$sitemapHREF = "products.php?q=category:".urlencode($row["category"]);
}
print "<loc>".$sitemapBaseHREF.$sitemapHREF."</loc>";
print "</url>";
}
print "</urlset>";
?>Cheers,
David.
Hello Guillaume,
The /categories/ home page (or categories.php if you are not using rewrite) is effectively the Categories sitemap as it stands - or do you mean an XML sitemap for search engines to add to sitemap.php?
Cheers,
David.
