Where Should the MSU Sitemaps be installed?
The instructions in the sitemap documentation just says:
" Upload sitemaps.php file and sitemaps directory from the archive to your web server."
In what directory should the sitemaps.php file be installed
Where should the sitemaps folder installed?
Is there a specific location like within /catalog/ for oscommerce?
How do you view the sitemap?
Any tips on how to submit the sitemap to google?

http://www.manotechsolutions.com/gadgetstore/catalog/ directory...this is also where I put the sitemap folder file and file.
When I view http://www.manotechsolutions.com/gadget ... temaps.php ...I get this:
Is this what I should be seeing?? I was expecting to see a list of links for all the site pages.
In this setup viewing the file at manotechsolutions.com/sitemaps.php wont work obviously.

Re: Where Should the MSU Sitemaps be installed?
Is there anyway you can actually see the list of links that your sitemap contains? Is there somewhere that an xml file is created or something?
Re: Where Should the MSU Sitemaps be installed?
Here is your XML file: http://www.traditionalirishgifts.com/sitemaps.php
It is not important what extension is used (.php in this case), but what HTTP header is send on request - MSU Sitemaps is using Content-Type: "application/xml; charset=utf-8" HTTP header which equal to traditional XML file.

You can change it only directly in sitemaps/<plugin_name>.php file.

Re: Where Should the MSU Sitemaps be installed?
Yeah I had a look through those files but I've no idea where I would make a change. Is it something that is easy to do? Or does it require adding more code?
Thanks
Thanks

It is third argument of addUrlToSiteMap() method.
