Problem with sitemap's own URL on sitemap page (builtin SEF)

[metamod_guy]

Hi folks,

using Joomla 1.5 with built-in SEF URLs, with .htaccess file as standard.

I have put a link to the XMap on a main menu, with alias of "sitemap".

The sitemap comes up properly. However, on the on the sitemap page, the URL for "sitemap" comes up as /sitemap?sitemap=1

This is because there's no router.php file for XMap. In router.php it should detect that there's a "sitemap=..." query component on the internal URL, and should then remove it if it's not necessary.

A minimal router.php which did this for me was this:

Code: Select all

<?php
function XMapBuildRoute(&$query) {
   unset($query['sitemap']);
}

function XMapParseRoute($segments)
{
}

Admittedly this probably wouldn't work when you have more than 1 sitemap - you need to encode the sitemap # into the URL, then retrieve it from the incoming URL and put it back into $sitemap again. But for most people the above code should work just fine.

Cheers,
Stephen
