I've downloaded, I've installed it, I've configured it and add it in my menu not less then 1 minute. Very straight forward component.
You will regret it if you don't used right now.
Thanks for the great components.

This works flawlessly! Nice and simple, works out of the box without much configuration.
The only feature request I have is the ability to restrict indexing of certain menues to a max-depth. This could become quite handy for news-websites with many articles

works as advertised. i would give it excellent but i'll reserve that for something that makes me shake in my boots. also, if i didn't get advice from an amigo i wouldn't really know how to implement it. i'm one month old into joomla so i'm kinda a dummy for now.
Thanks guys!
This component works wonderfully.
Some times you have to spend a long time to be able to see a component working the way you like. But this component worked just the way I wanted with the least energy spent on setting it.
Great job!

Presto, install and it works! Nice HTML layout for an automatically generated sitemap. Great for user navigation and SEO.
Great work - easy to integrate and use. I am using it in both of my two projects. It works as expected and provides beside the user-readable sitemap also an xml-sitemap for our good friends - the search-engine bots. The periodically refreshed content will always provide the latest content available.
One thing might be nice to have in future:
In the module settings of a menu one can choose to start displaying the menu's hierarchy from a specified level on. It really would be great, when XMap would adhere to this setting.
That would improve the narrow shaped hierarchy-structure of Joomla enormously. With this a site admin could structure his site deeper and needn't to have any fears of showing a sitemap - because all menu items that should not be visible won't be shown at all.

This does what it says it does, and I'm very happy with it. It's quick and easy to install, and works great.
There is however one problem that prevents me from giving it the very best rating:
I have a few menu items with sub-items that are always expanded by default (i.e. sub-items are always shown). Xmap gets confused by this, and the result is that these sub-items are listed twice. First they are enumerated as sub-items of the parent item, and then the sub-items get counted again. This may not be an excellent explanation, but try it yourself and you'll see what I mean.
Overall, a very good extension that works great and is highly customizable.

Well, the title says it all. I installed this on my Joomla 1.5 installation (Legacy Mode NOT enabled. The component creates two pages, one with a XML sitemap and another for a HTML sitemap. I have one little quirk, in that it is duplicating some entries - maybe because I have SEF URLS enabled?
Might not be as configurable as I'd have liked, but iwas very easy to install and setup
It took me a while to figure what to use it for. It produces a menu item/publishable site map page. It also produces a sitemap .xml and .html link that you can submit to search engines. Some documentation would be helpful but I was able to install it, figure it out and get it working and the files submitted within 5 or 10 minutes. 5 Stars.
Its a very good extension. Very easy to install and configure the basic functionality.
This component does a great job of what it is supposed to do. But unfortunately the 1.5 native component does not utilize the 1.5 MVC conventions, so to ovverride the default output you have to edit the component itself instead of just adding a file in your templates folder.
Great component, though :-)
