sitemap
Permalink Browser Info Environment
i want to use the domain mapper to use one c5 install to manage multiple marketing sites, most of them only having one or two pages and a form. sitemap is crucial and to solve that problem i thought of the following solution:
create custom sitemap.xml in the sites theme folder manually, and use google's webmaster tool to add the sitemap.xml to that domain. this should be done for each mapped domain seperately.
do you think this is the way to go for now?

found this on the webmaster tools pageshttp://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&an... .
it seems possible to tell google where to look for the sitemap and ignore the sitemap generated by C5 in the root of the site. if i'm not mistaken it is also possible to use a sitemap located on a different server ( but has to be one with verified ownership )
allthough it is manual labor for each site i think it solves the sitemap problem. when i have some spare time i will purchase the domain mapper add-on and do some tests and post the results here

It is possible to force apache to parse a particular file (sitemap.xml) as a php file. Once you had that working you could then run a switch statement off of the request variables and output the correct sitemap xml for that domain. It'd require php & apache config skills + a fairly high level of access to your server.
