I would like to know what is the last step after install the package and chnage the view to sitemap, in order for search engines to know with this sitemap xml.
Are you thinking about how to let Google know about the sitemap? Then you should login to google webmaster tools and assign it to your website from the administration in there.
If you can access the sitemap, and get the XML in the browser, then you just need to add the sitemap, into an robot.txt to tell google where to find your XML sitemap.
Then you just can use the url where you can access it on your local machine, but when you set your site live, then you need to change it to the right url: e.g http://www.yourdomain.com/sitemap
So if your template for the sitemap in Umbraco has the name: sitemap, then it would be:
Once installed and Changed the View Name

Hi Simon.
If you can access the sitemap, and get the XML in the browser, then you just need to add the sitemap, into an robot.txt to tell google where to find your XML sitemap.
Try to see this example:
http://www.sitemaps.org/protocol.html#submit_robots
Hope this helps,

Hi Dennis,
the site is still running locally.
How can I reference to the sitemap in the robots.txt?
Thank you
Hi Simon
Then you just can use the url where you can access it on your local machine, but when you set your site live, then you need to change it to the right url: e.g http://www.yourdomain.com/sitemap
So if your template for the sitemap in Umbraco has the name: sitemap, then it would be:
http://site.localhost/sitemap
Hope this make sense if not the please ask again.
