Newbie question on Site Map Creation

Apr 23, 2012 3:53 PM

Does Dreamweaver has a feature that can automatically create a sitemap?  I heard that it is better to use XML to create a site map to help SEO ranking?  Any reference you can refer is a big help.

Thank you in advance.

    If you don't fancy writing one yourself, you could try http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/ to generate one for you.

     

    As far as I am aware, Dreamweaver has no functionality to create sitemaps.

    Dreamweaver had a visual site map function for many years. May not be what you're looking for though.

     

    It was disabled in CS4 (not sure why).

     

    You can re-enable the Site Map following instructions from this thread:

    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/317212

     

    Mac:

     

    1. Go to your user folder > Library > Preferences 2. Open “Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 Prefs” in a Texteditor 3. Search for sitemap 4. Replace FALSE with TRUE 5. Save the file, restart DW

     

     

    Windows:

     

    1. Click on start
    2. Select Run
    3. Type regedit and click ok

       -> the registry opens now

    1. Select HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Adobe > Dreamweaver CS4 > Feature Management 5. In the right part of the window double click on Site map 6. Set Site map to True

        -> When you restart DW the site map is enabled again

     

     

     

    The feature is no longer supported by Dreamweaver. Use with care at your own risk.

    Rik, I saw that previously but i didn't pay attention.  But since you

    recommended it, I'll use it. Thank you much, so goes to John as well.
