Well That sounds pretty great. Can you provide more information how to integrate that code into IF?

Thanks

Hello,

I think I can contribute to this. A few weeks ago I finished creating a HTTP Handler in Asp.Net 2.0 which creates a Google site map from an Asp.Net 2.0 site map file:

' SiteMap
Public Class SiteMap : Implements IHttpHandler

' -- [Methods] -------------------------------------------

' Define handler process request
Public Sub ProcessRequest(ByVal context As HttpContext) Implements IHttpHandler.ProcessRequest

' Get the assembly
Dim aBy27 As System.Reflection.Assembly = System.Reflection.Assembly.GetExecutingAssembly

' Get the resource stream from the assembly
Dim sBy27 As Stream = aBy27.GetManifestResourceStream("By27.SiteMap.xsl")

' Read the stream content using a XML reader
Dim xmlrSiteMap As Xml.XmlReader = Xml.XmlReader.Create(sBy27)

' Create and load XSL document
Dim xslGoogle As XslCompiledTransform = New XslCompiledTransform
xslGoogle.Load(xmlrSiteMap)

' Create xpath document with XML document
Dim xpathGoogle As System.Xml.XPath.XPathDocument = New System.Xml.XPath.XPathDocument(HttpContext.Current.Server.MapPath(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("By27.Google.SiteMap.Url")))

' Create memory stream
Dim msGoogle As System.IO.Stream = New System.IO.MemoryStream

' Create XSL arguments list
Dim googleXslArguments As XsltArgumentList = New XsltArgumentList
googleXslArguments.AddParam("By27.WebSite.Url", "", "http://" & ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("By27.WebSite.Url") & "/")

' Transform XML document
xslGoogle.Transform(xpathGoogle, googleXslArguments, msGoogle)

' Flush the stream and set the position to 0
msGoogle.Flush()
msGoogle.Position = 0

' Create stream reader
Dim srGoogle As System.IO.StreamReader = New System.IO.StreamReader(msGoogle)

' Display XML in browser
context.Response.Clear()
context.Response.ContentType = "text/xml; charset=utf-8"
context.Response.Write(srGoogle.ReadToEnd)
context.Response.End()

End Sub

' Define is handler is reusable
Public ReadOnly Property IsReusable() As Boolean Implements IHttpHandler.IsReusable
Get
Return False
End Get
End Property

End Class

And I use a XSL file embed in my DLL:

version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
xmlns="http://www.google.com/schemas/sitemap/0.84"
xmlns:dk="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0">

Well, this is as I use it. You can adapt it as you wish.

Cheers,
Miguel

Hi Jon,

Just to confirm we have looked at this. I'm hoping it will be available in a future release.

With did work with the paging links in v4.1.4 to improve SEO.

This is an important area for us as a forum is only as good as it's traffic and we will be further improving SEO.

I like this idea... that could be great for search indexing.

Hey Ryan,

It would be great to have support for Google Sitemaps built into the forum. This should be straightforward enough that I'm going to try writing the code for this today. It would be a matter of writing SQL to pull all of the topics, their titles, and dates posted. If there's no objection, I'll post the VB code here or e-mail it to you. Can you contact me via e-mail to let me know?

Thanks and InstantForum rocks! My customers love it (http://www.geoframeworks.com/forum)
