Drupal XML sitemap problems

On checking and rechecking my website for the right sitemap, working on more content for the drupal section I discovered that in the latest updates for the xml sitemap, the original node names are used! So my xml sitemap contained entries to http://www.jasperkooij.com/node/32 instead of http://www.jasperkooij.com/drupal/content-rewriting-drupal-and-web-page-...

Half an hour later I have found the answer on the forum and xml sitemap project page. The pathauto module is executed later when submitting a page. Not very good!

There is a new module that will help with that:

Module Weight

"This module adds a weight column to the modules table at
admin/build/modules, allowing weights to be viewed and edited. Once
activated, a weight column appears on the modules table. To change a module
weight, edit its value and press "Save configuration". Any user who can
submit the admin/build/modules form will be able to change module weights."

I've installed this module and gave the xml sitemap module a weight of 1 where everything else was 0 and everything works great now!

To download, visit the [weblink:34|Module Weight] project page.

The updated xml sitemap now submits to these search engines:

  • google
  • yahoo
  • ask 

 
And it has been updated to fine tune more options.
