Hi all,

If you want to test new Google Sitemap Creator, you can download scrip
file from
http://mapy.stron.pl/gsmaster_index.php

just:
- upload file on server
- edit some params in gsmaster.php

mysql_connect("host", "user", "pass");
mysql_select_db("database");

$sciezka = "/your/server/path/";
$login = "test";
$pass = "test";

next:
- run script and login
- create xml file
- create ini file with your query
- generate xml

you can create a lot of xml files and create sitemap index

thanks for your comments

Hi Piotrek

Do I understand your code correctly in that you are reading the URLs
from a mysql-database table? (ie no crawling of the site, no reading of
the directory structure, just straight from a CMS or similar)? Which
CMS do you have it set up for by default?

Thanks! Just checking :-)

Nice, though this is likely to be overkill for a fairly static site and
maybe a trifle difficult to maintain.

If you, or anyone else, has interest in a piece of much simpler
code, you can try the one I wrote earlier today:

http://www.c2se.com/software/sitetools/generate_sitemap_php

It is designed to be run from a cron job on a Linux / Unix system
-- though it could be easily adapted to run in real-time on a small
site (ie. less than a couple of thousand pages, depending on the
directory structure.)

no, no, GSMaster is not reading the URLs from a mysql-database table,
GSMaster with mysql queries (in ini files) only building list of URLs
for sitemaps, and do it quickly

if you have a board or news system, every post or text there have own
ID... so what is the sense crawl all website for build sitemap when you
have everything you need in your mysql-tables? :-)

for websites with mod_rewrite (ie when you use text title in URL) you
can use additional function (of course in ini files).

I am pretty much familiar with Piotrek's code. We have been working on
an easy installation procedure for this which will probably be
completed soon, when we have some time to tweak it.

GsMaster is intended for somebody with at least a basic knowledge of
mysql and their CMS.
You have to supply a mysql query to build the urls and they are nicely
output into an xml file.
You can also specify several sitemaps and make a sitemap index file.

So as you see some knowledge of your CMS is required, it is not
intended for a total noob, bu I'am sure that it can simplify somebody's
work who is already building his own queries for sitemaps. Sort of a
sitemap manager.

It also doesn't consume bandwidth as opposed to crawler based
applications for sitemaps.
