Google Webmaster Priority Warning
I've installed xMap on a Joomla 1 site successfully and submitted to Google via Webmaster.
One week on and I've had a Warning from Google that "All the URLs in your Sitemap are set to the same priority (not the default priority). Priority indicates the importance of a particular URL relative to other URLs on your site, and doesn't impact your site's performance in search results. If all URLs have the same priority, Google can't tell which are more important."
I can't see a way using the plug to set different priorities for items WITHIN a menu - is there something I'm missing and how do others get round this problem?
I've just noticed that the installed extension 'Content Plugin 1.0.1' allows some priority tweaking. Is this the solution?

Re: Google Webmaster Priority Warning
All you can do with Xmap is specify different priorities for content, sections and categories, but not for each content or each section. To avoid that warning, just leave the default priority (5) for every menu item and change only the menu item you think is more important for you.

Re: Google Webmaster Priority Warning
I take it I do this using the content plugin extension? Any time I try to make an alteration to the standard settings, I get a javascript alert with my site url and the word 'undefined'. So I can't amke any changes. Any ideas to solve this?? I'm getting this error on both Firefox 3.05 and Safari 3.2.1 on Mac OSX

Let's see if Google like's the map now I've implemented your suggestions.
