Has anyone played with the idea of creating a sitemap of the business directory? (in an automated way) ?

Hi ricardorangel,

There have been some recent module add ons for XMod that you may be interested in exploring.

FatGeorge is a Developer member of DNNprofessor and also works with Business Directory.

His Tag Cloud Control 2.0 may be a choice for link generation.

You can also privately chat with FatGeorge by going to Private Messages and sending a message - user name fatgeorge.

Another new module for XMod Site Mapping, that I noticed on SnowCovered.com last week, was ASH_XModSearch.

I did a search to find you the link and noticed it was not found. Maybe the developer is revising his sales page and will bring it back up.

It created treeview navigation on XMod applications.

Here's the link for that XMOD Search:

http://www.snowcovered.com/Snowcovered2/Default.aspx?tabid=242&PackageID=10545

Still, not what I was looking for, I'm not looking for a sitemap for my visitors, I'm looking to create a sitemap that google can use (or ask or msn) to index my website using the content of the directory.

Example: If you have 2 pages (home and directory) the DNN default sitemap will create only 2 entries on it. If the directory has 10 companies, none of those individual directory entries get listed on the sitemap.

If you have a few directory entries I guess you can manually add them, but with a lot it gets complicated.

I decided to have a quick look into this; Googles help pages on sitemaps has the following:

Google accepts RSS (Real Simple Syndication) 2.0 and Atom 1.0 feeds. If you have a blog with an RSS or Atom feed, you submit the feed's URL as a Sitemap. Most blog software creates your feed for you. If your site doesn't have a feed, you can use Feedburner to create and publish one. Note that the feed may only provide information on recent URLs.

You could use Syndication for XMod to produce an RSS 2.0 feed from your Business Directory and submit that to Google.

we don't make XMod, we make it better!

Has anyone tried this ASH_XMod Search module?  I am trying to get subsets of Business Directory data for a Find a Doctor tool I am building.  Rather than just re-sort the list, I want to just pull up X records by "City" or Category/Specialty?  I need to give our Website users ways to narrow down their results to small precise groups of data.

Thanks,
