sitemap.php and google and mod rewrite

[pSouper]

Hi all,

I have been looking into Sitemap.php phpwcms and mod rewrite - it seems that they do not work well together as mod_rewrite is processed independently of phpwcms
I think... Search engines are easily confused when it comes to comparing the pre-rewritten index.php?articleAlias with the resolved articleAlias.phtml urls.

If may assumptions are correct then you may need to modify your sitemap.php to reflect the re-written naming convention like so...

Change...

Code: Select all

$_link = PHPWCMS_URL.'index.php?'.setGetArticleAid( $data );

to...

Code: Select all

$_link = PHPWCMS_URL.setGetArticleAid( $data ).'.phtml';

or whatever your urls resolve too.

Maybe this one helps?

Hi OG,
You are welcome any time - just call when you know the flight times and I'll pop up town.

I don't think there is an issue now that C has pointed me in the right direction - I think the problem is with me not reading the forums properly I guess - short of you writing a .htaccess interpreter it would be very hard for you to compensate for mod rewrite

Also - you may want to turn 'bad behavior' off too.

I have disabled Bad Behavior by default now.
