Unable to create sitemaps and backup site

[Connie]

@connie : Your guide to generating a Site Index is very useful – thanks! I may be missing a detail of the German, but perhaps you could mention that the guide is only for generating a site page, not for generating sitemap.xml (which can be generated from the admin control panel, of course)?

Hi Nick,

that is exactly what I wrote in the first paragraph:

There are 2 kinds of Sitemaps:

* one which is offered to the searching machines, in XML format which is not indicated, however, in the browser
* and a Sitemap which one would like to offer to have an overview of the page contents on the web page itself.

How that works I explain here: ...

so for me it was logic. But I described it more detailled now, so the misunderstanding will be avoided.

Thanks for the hint!

@yojoe,

I once had a sitemap with the information like you described it in another, now forgotten CMS. My users / my client were disturbed and I was told that they want clear navigation...

the sitemap which you describe would be a mixture of index and navigation and that can be overwhelming sometimes

but for sure there can be reasons to use that, but I never saw it in practice

Let us see in Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Site_map

Site maps can improve search engine optimization of a site by making sure that all the pages can be found. .....

They also act as a navigation aid ... by providing an overview of a site's content at a single glance.
