[CubeCart] Sitemaps and URLs

Postby Oscar Tango » Tue Sep 21, 2010 4:10 pm

I see that MSU Sitemaps doesn't include CubeCart, so I'm wondering why this is and what the impact is. Does it mean I can't generate a sitemap for Google etc. with the Magic new URLs? Or is there some other way of achieving this?

Second question what is the real advantage of the Magic URLs over the SEO-friendly URLs that CC4 can generate itself, e.g.;

- standard CC4 URL (no SEO) = http://www.mysite.com/index.php?_a=viewCat&catId=77
- CC4 URL using built-in SEO = http://www.mysite.com/honda-motocross-parts/cat_77.html
- Magic URL = ?

Cheers,

Lol

It means that your Sitemaps will still use old URLs (which are redirected to new locations).

Only by modifying MSU Sitemaps which are available under GNU/GPL.
