If the products, categories, reviews have not changed since the last generation (time creation corresponding xml-sitemap file), a new xml-sitemap file not created (using existing xml-sitemap).

Priority is calculated on the basis of the positions in the selection from the database, ie the operator ORDER BY in the sql query. First item have priority=1.00, last=0.10. So can no longer be situations where all items in the file have the same priority.

• Products - ORDER BY p.products_sort_order ASC, last_date DESC
• Categories - ORDER BY c.sort_order ASC, last_date DESC
• Reviews - ORDER BY r.reviews_rating ASC, last_date DESC
• EZ-pages - ORDER BY p.sidebox_sort_order ASC, last_date DESC
• Testimonials - ORDER BY last_date DESC
• Box News - ORDER BY last_date DESC

$_GET parameters:

ping=yes - Pinging Search Engine Systems.

inline=yes - output file sitemapindex.xml. In Google Webmaster Tools you can define your "Sitemap URL": http://your_domain/index.php?main_page=sitemapxml&inline=yes And every time Google will get index.php?main_page=sitemapxml he will receive a fresh sitemapindex.xml.

genxml=no - don't generate xml-files.

rebuild=yes - force rebuild all sitemap*.xml files.

Comments and suggestions are welcome. If you need any more sitemaps (faq, news, etc) you may ask me, but I will do only if it matches with my interests.

3. Upload the files from "sitemapXML" to the root of your store. (DO NOT upload the "sitemapXML" folder, just the CONTENTS of this folder (copy ALL of the add-on files to your store!! Most issues are caused by store owners who decide to NOT load ALL of the module files)
4. Set permissions on the directory /sitemap/ to 777.
5. Go to Admin -> Configuration -> Sitemap XML and setup all parameters.
