sitemap issues

[hermit36]

hi dody

I have been try to change the sitemap.php to solve certain submission issues but something is just not right. So maybe you can see to it and change the sitemap.php.

You see being a marketer myself there is absolutely no point of submitting top rated, new, pr and hot links into google. The important of sitemap it to get search engine to index our whole directory if possible. the aim here is to let search engine to be able to index all links within our directory so it will be more efficient to just go to the point by generating only links within the directory without the need of top rated, new, pr and hot links. it will be able to save up numbers of sitemap pages generated and it will benefit those with big data. Hope you can see the point I am trying to drive at. Please PM me if there is a way to alter the sitemap thanks

How many categories and links do you have? I agree that generating sitemap could consume cpu a lot if you have large database.

You can edit /admin/sitemap.php file to remove unwanted pages. If you open this file, it already divided into sub sections. You can remove the following sections:
// browsepr.php
// browsetag.php

FYI, hot.php, top_rated.php, pick.php and new.php doesn't consume a lot of cpu. There is no calculation when writing sitemap of them as they only a single page.

Hi dody we are having 957 categories with more than 400 000 links and growing. So FYI, hot.php, top_rated.php, pick.php and new.php does matter when building sitemaps
