At the time of this writing, there are no third-party extensions that create a site map for Joomla 1.5 (without legacy mode), and I've tried them all. I had one working a month ago (Joomap, I believe), but it now throws an error.

That said, this script does not work, as indicated, for Joomla 1.5. After I downloaded it and configured the internal settings (it does not work out of the box), the result was very poor.

First, an error message indicates that the varialbe mosConfig_offset_user is undefined. Second, none of the URLs listed on the site index page are valid pages. In fact, they look like listings for Joomla 1.0.x.

Tried this once again, but it fails to submit multi language mapping. In this case the site in question uses both English and French(Jfish) on J ver 1.0.8

It also failed to pull up the right id's thus upon verification of the mapping links, all fail to access giving "you must be log in to see this content" which was the same problem faced on the previous version.

Thus, I'm sure this could be a wonderful addon if it works as intended

That one just never worked with google : got several errors Invalid URL in the google manager, although my url is correct --> delete and choose another mod

its good, its easy, but it also adds extra blank entries which google reports as invalid urls

This is an excellent addition to your SEO efforts with your Joomla! installation.

Easy to setup by uploading it directly to your root directory and very easy to update it to include other components.

We just added support for Virtuemart categories and products, Mosets Tree categories and listings along with adding the 'changefreq' / 'priority' tags and finally adding in the 'lastmod' tags where applicable.

You can download our updated version here: Dynamic gSitemap.

I've installed it and now Google wants me to manually click a link every time Google checks out my site... I have too much work to do to be worrying about this.

Great Simple Extension,
However, I uploaded the file to root,
then loaded the sitemap.php and it gave me warning errors!!
Turned out that I had to changed the extra POST vars from
& to &
So, the line; $mosConfig_live_site.'/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&id='.$row2['id'];
becomes
$mosConfig_live_site.'/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&id='.$row2['id'];

So change all thats needed and it works, Also
Google now accepts it to be valid

Flashy :O)

... Google sitemap: more controllable and Artio JoomSEF support.

Great idea but I have error because " sitemap.php " is not known or supported by google sitemap.

This is exactly what I was looking for. Nothing to install or configure, nothing to unpack, it's just too simple to be true. Other Google Sitemap Generators don't like that Joomla is database driven, they seem to prefer simple page:file websites. My website has grown to over 2000 content items in just over three months so I needed a sitemap tool that didn't need a lot of manual updating. This is the perfect tool for all Joomla! users looking to add a sitemap to google's Webmaster Tools.

It's "near" perfect because the "lastmod" tags are only going to pull up dates if the content was modified. If it was never modified it wil just show "0000-00-00 00:00:00". A small modification changes this to use the "created" date if the modified date is equal to "0000-00-00 00:00:00".

I'm not sure where to post my modification since I can't here so you're welcome to send me an email: webmaster[at]amas-veritas[dot]com and I can send it to you until I find out who to notify. If you want another example, my sitemap is here: http://www2.amas-veritas.com/sitemap.php

Note: this modification is also handy if you want to verify that all of your pages have a created date. I found 5 of my pages were missing a date.
