Hi,
I don't get it to run on an IIS, it's a hosted one.
I tried my best with the Web.Config, but I got errors.
Maybe someone has a Web.Config running that works, would be nice to get the code

Hi mate,

I can't believe I've only just noticed this but...Is it possible to generate the actual canonical links in the sitemap?

nstallation:

Download and unzip it
Extension files from "ext" folder should be extracted to phpBB's /ext/ folder. Then the extension should be enabled in "ACP --> Customise --> Extensions Management" Tab

What "ext" folder? Zipped contect looks like all files need to upload into root folder.

the file path is ext/shredder/sitemap/

the file I downloaded starting from "schreder" folder and structure of sitemap folder similar to a root so I thought maybe is need 2 download in the root. But it need to download into ext folder. Ok.

Sorry, this has been changed in the new version to follow the extensions making rules. Now it will be this:
Extension files from "shredder" folder should be extracted to phpBB's /ext/shredder/ folder.

It's SEO mistake that Canonical url does not match with page url as in the default phpBB 3.1. There are two ways to solve this problem:

1) SEO Topic & Canonical URL extension.
2) Wait when it will be fixed by phpBB developers (this is unreal IMHO).

[Shredder]

SEO Topic & Canonical URL extension.

You can configure it in "Board Features":

[Volksdevil]

Cool, that looks intersting. But I already made a change to your extension seo sitemap, by just removing the f= parameter. Would it be worth me putting that back and then using your other extension?

[vsabah]

It doesnt work for me. How can i create a sitemap.xml?

And are new links add the site map automatically? It doesnt work for me. New links dont add in sitemap.

actually, a sitemap is not very useful in a dynamic site like a bulletin board. every time a post is made , the sitemap is no longer up to date.

Hmm that's right. But is phpBB a dynamic board system? What must we do about this?

[Lumpy Burgertushie]

yes phpbb is a dynamic website. it is updated/changed every time someone posts and every time you make a new forum etc. etc. therefore, the sitemap is no longer up to date. from what I remember, google etc. require a sitemap to be kept up to date to get the benefits that they may bring for SEO. after all, SEO is really the only reason to mess with having one. ( and I am not sure if it still carries that much weight with google anyway. )

what to do? I don't know. I would suggest either not worrying about having one at all, or be prepared to update it on a regular basis depending on how often your board gets new posts etc.
