Free extensions for Joomla!

I've created a patched version of the plugin so that Virtuemart product images get added to your XML sitemaps.

How can I go about getting this included in the next release?

Hi leewillis77, Thanks for the patch, I'll add the changes to the next release.

Again, thanks for your contribution

Hello, and congratulations for this addition.

I got some things to mention though, cause it looks like it is not working that great so far for me. the image urls look like this in the xml:

http://sitename.net/components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/http://sitename.net/images/full/filename.jpg - Filename
http://sitename.net//components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/filename_add2.jpg - Filename
http://sitename.net//components/com_virtuemart/shop_image/product/filename_add1.jpg - Filename

The 1st one goes weird because on that site we use the URL Optional feature for the images, and actually only 1 of the 2 images used is appearing, not the thumb. the other 2 are the additional images, that both have an additional "/" after the domain as you see.

Question: should they be links too ? cause they appear as non-linkable text (better so far cause they would result in error). Something else I would like to know, is why I cannot see the images in the HTML version at all, absolutely no change to the sitemap tree there.

Note: As I remember reading on Google about this,, Google doesn't recommend linking to images in the sitemap. Do you think this might drop the ranking ?


On another site without Virtuemart, we use normal articles and images from within the /images/ directory but in the XML it appears weird again like this:

http://www.sitename.com/../../../../images/another_directory/filename.jpg - Page Title

I also tried to set the show images to NO and they only disappeared when I set the max images to 0.


Any help on my issue appreciated really. and again congrats, xmap rocks badly.
cheers
