Now, all you have to do is upload sitemap.php to your forum's root directory,
and add the contents of htaccess.txt to your .htaccess file

You may have to modify the entries in the .htaccess file depending on what may
exist in that file already, and the forum's root directory location in relation
to the .htaccess file's permanent residence.

Installation is extremely easy and takes about 3 minutes.

First you have a few configuration options in the sitemap.php file, so load
it up into your favourite text editor.

define('FORUM_DOMAIN_ROOT', 'http://www.yourdomain.com/'); // Full URL with trailing slash!

This is the default URL of your forum. If your forum exists at...

http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/

then use the line

define('FORUM_DOMAIN_ROOT', 'http://www.yourdomain.com/forum/'); // Full URL with trailing slash!

Yes, the trailing slash IS IMPORTANT!!!

Now, the next 4 are all related, so I'll describe the first two, and you should
be able to get the idea for the other two.

define('FORUM_URL_PREFIX', 'viewforum.php?f='); // What comes up before the forum ID?
define('FORUM_URL_SUFFIX', ''); // What comes up after the forum ID?

Why define something like this? All forums are the same aren't they? Well, no.

You may have implemented some form of mod_rewrite work to offer .html URLs to
facilitate spidering & SEO in the past. It makes sense, then, that your
sitemap would also be best using these URLs.

The phpBB default is simply viewforum.php?f=#, where # is the ID of the forum.
However, your site might load this page up as forum-#.html (again, where # is
the ID of the forum). In this example, you would modify the two lines above as
follows...

define('FORUM_URL_PREFIX', 'forum-'); // What comes up before the forum ID?
define('FORUM_URL_SUFFIX', '.html'); // What comes up after the forum ID?

The other two lines are exactly the same, but they relate to the URL that is
accessed in order to view a particular thread.

Now, all you have to do is upload sitemap.php to your forum's root directory,
and add the contents of htaccess.txt to your .htaccess file

You may have to modify the entries in the .htaccess file depending on what may
exist in that file already, and the forum's root directory location in relation
to the .htaccess file's permanent residence.

//  ==========================================================================
//  All done, well almost.  Now what?
//  ==========================================================================

Now you have to head on over to Google's website and create an account. If
you already have a GMail account, then simply use that username & password. If
you don't have a GMail account, then get with the times! There's plenty of
people out there with invites to spare! :)

If you have a valid Google username & password, simply go to this URL..

https://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/

and submit the URL to sitemap.xml

Yes, I know the filename is sitemap.php, but those lines you added to your
.htaccess file make sitemap.xml load the sitemap.php file.

So, if the path to your sitemap.php file is..

http://www.yourdomain.com/sitemap.php

You submit...

http://www.yourdomain.com/sitemap.xml

You can load the .xml URL in your browser to check your .htaccess directives
are working.

//  ==========================================================================
//  What's to come in the future?
//  ==========================================================================

Well, a few more configuration options possibly, for category pages, and ways
to add other custom pages to the sitemap files.  Remember though, Google will
still crawl your site, even if it has a sitemap (apparently), so don't worry
if not all of your custom URLs are included in the XML files.

One thing about the current script is that on the listings showing all the
threads in a particular forum, it only links to the first page of that
thread.  In future versions, I may add the ability to produce all URLs relating
to threads that span multiple pages.

Other than that, there isn't really much that can be added.
