Worked pretty well for me. Waiting on Google to validate mine now.
I would like to see the members.asp and members pages added, along with the other pages you mentioned. Perhaps that's just because I want to see that my site gets indexed as much as possible, but if it won't hurt to index more of your site, why not go ahead, right?< |

It was commented out. No point in having it there anyway, it just adds substantial processing time and the links won't be indexed.
Has anyone tried this on a large forum? I submitted one to Google and got a 404 error. It wasn't a script timeout issue. I presume it was because it took a while to generate and Google couldn't download it i.e. they must be using a timeout value. Changing buffering to false may send a 200 response before the full page is generated.< |

Do you still have the code for the file that will show the members pages? There's some code left behind in the current version you've got that is from the members version. My forum is fairly small, so I don't anticipate Google having any problems indexing anything.< |

Excellent work Podge - thanks!!
I've just tried it on a test forum and as well as coming up with all the topics it also came up with the topic's print friendly page's: ...com/forum/pop_printer_friendly.asp?TOPIC_ID=19
Is this by design?< |

I'll tell you what we need (and I apologise for putting a spec here but I don't have time to code this myself) is as follows:
An intermediary page which has a bunch of check boxes to select to include which pages are included in the XML file (a la members pages etc.)
And then a couple of buttons: The "VIEW XML" button shows the xml page which your code current produces. The "WRITE FILE" button writes the file to your forum's root directory and then pings the google site letting them know that a new XML file has been uploaded.
Bells and whistles would also zip the XML file.
Problems: need to give the ASP code write access to the root of the web and not just the data base directory. (Can you give ASP code write access to just 1 file? i.e. the XML output file...) < |

Thanks Podge! I was under the impression that search engines penalized you for duplicate content on your site so I thought that the printer friendly pages might be considered duplicate content?< |
