I believe this component should be one of the core components in joomla, this is a very useful tool and is easy to use
Thanks to the developer for a very nice component that does exactly what it is supposed to do.
10 Stars!! I can't say enough good things about this component. If you want to market your site with the search engines, then look no further than Xmap.
Product worked as advertised. I was amazed at how granular I could get with the settings. It's powerful yet easy to use.
I went to the forum for help with something I wasn't doing right, and got KIND COURTEOUS help from Guillermo Vargas within minutes. It just doesn't get any better than this. It's guys like this that give open source a good name! I donated! I hope you do too so we can keep these hard working guys in the game. Thanks again!

An excellent component, simple to install and configure. Now happy to announce it supports the brilliant JoomSuite Resources (formerly Content).

I used jcrawler for awhile on several Joomla sites and it worked well enough... But when I decided to try Xmap I was blown away! This is an awesome component!
I found this to be extremely quick and easy to use. However I would like to recommend one addition to the code. You need to make the wrapping div and id and not a class so that what ever CSS you want to apply to it can over write the template's wrapping divs.
The problem I had was that the template we were using had a star for each li tag and the client felt that there were too many stars. I could not overwrite the template's CSS without hacking the code and adding a wrapping div with an id on it.
Other than this one minor issue, I think this is a great component and will be using it for several up coming client websites.

The good: Xmap produces a complete map of the content on the websites I have tried it on.
The bad: All items are tagged as updated daily. This is probably too frequent for individual items, and not frequent enough for the front page.
The home page was identified by its alias not as /
There does not seem to be a way of adjusting the relative importance of pages.

Best thing since apple pie. Thanks a million.

A truly excellent plugin. Thanks!
One little thing. When you use this to generate an XML Sitemap (for Google etc) it's a good idea to save the xmap-generated text, edit it, then upload it statically to your site.
xmap puts a lot of stuff in the map and is indiscriminate about changefreq and priority tag settings.

Couldn't be easier, easily configurable including CSS templating. Install it, create a menu item to it and it's done.
Installed the extensions in a matter of moments. No problems with the installation. Lots of options available for my SiteMap. I was particularly happy with the Virtuemart plugin which displays categories and products also. Before this I had tried JooMap and could not get either to come up. I highly recommend this for Joomla 1.5 sites (especially those with VM)

I tried 3 other sitemap extensions and this is the only one that worked for me in Joomla 1.5 in legacy mode.
Have used these multiple times on my Joomla 1.0 and 1.5 websites. Everytime installs and works like a breeze.
Has good configuration options as well plus a link to your Google Sitemap to help with your SEO.
A Big Thank you to the developers of this component.
Great Component without the bugs!

This extension worked right out "of the box" (so to speak). I have some material on my site which is 'hidden' and only available to people who have an account. Xmap handled generating sitemaps for people who have an account and people who don't have an account. Each sitemap is unique for each type of user. Thank you for a useful piece of software.
