sitemap/router.php question

hey
so until the jrsitemap modules improved i think ill be using my own sitemap crawler but was wondering where it should get uploaded to since the router i think redirects requests for the sitemap to somewhere other then the server root
in fact if i remember corectly the sitemap index might even be in a diferent place then the individual sitemaps
and if that is the case (my crawler can do url replacement on uploads changing the domain or path in the index) would the individual files still be referenced by domain/sitemap#.xml or by a specific path like domain/folder/sitemap#.xml

just wondering cause never see the sitemaps in the servers root and i know the router redirects requests for them to somewhere just not sure where

wich brings up a somewhat related question if they are looked for in /modules/jrsitemap/.. and i deactivate(but dont delete) the sitemap module would it still be looking for the files there.. and if i delete it would it look for them in the server root (install directory)

just need to know best way to use my crawler till yours is improved (no hurry i know its a lower priority job..but sure am ecstatic to know it can be done someday)

Try putting it in the root.

I'm pretty sure that the router will only redirect if the file system doesn't have anything there for that location.

Sure you can disable it. We haven't had much requests on the module - in fact I think you're the only one who has asked for more features, so it's not been moved "up" in the to do list.

All the major search engines don't actually need a sitemap - it's just something that is usually used to "kickstart" your site if your domain is new. Once your site has been around for a while they will get your site all figured out on their own.

It's still on my todo though.

Thanks!

well i find on large sites its very helpful and even on medium sizzed sites when i added a proper sitemap to a few sites they hada 50% increase in trafic within 2 weeks and while watching how they crawled 1 site that had a events calander the bots would get totaly lost searching through decades of empty events dates and hardly touching the main site at all without giving them a lil direction


and yea i knew it wouldnt be a high priority and thats fine...
but when u do impliment it imbetting you see a big improvement in your sites trafic
