Topic: Site Map
I am posting this here rather than in my other extension thread since this is more of a alpha/beta release.
I have never used a site map before so am iffy on what exactly it should contain. This has also only undergone minimal testing, and is still missing a few features, still has a couple loose ends that should be finished and a few bugs.
Edit: Removed link to avoid people downloading an old beta version. Check here for the current release.
I am mainly posting this to see if anyone with a slightly better knowledge of site maps can let me know what they think.

Re: Site Map
robots.txt isn't required, although you can use it: personally, I submit my sitemaps to the search engines directly.

Re: Site Map
One possible problem I have ran into:
When using the folder based rewrite scheme the sitemap is located at domain.com/sitemap/ but would that not mean that only urls within domain.com/sitemap/ are allowed? In other words none?
Is there a better way to handle that, or will I need to just ignore the rewrite scheme and link to the "real" url (/misc.php?action=sitemap)?

Re: Site Map
Yup, you need to link to something forum-root level and while at it, meaningful 
/sitemap-xml for example

Re: Site Map
I decided just to not rewrite requests to it, since it's pretty much only bots that will be reading it anyway, and just left it as misc.php?action=sitemap. Thanks

Re: Site Map
You could always rewrite it as sitemap.xml.

Hypocrite. 
What happened to consistency?

Could do, dunno if that would be better or if having none at all is, since we can't have the "right" rules.

Not much option if being consistent means it doesn't work.

Re: Site Map
You could also make a robots.txt file through rewriting
Shouldn't be too hard to do, and have an admin area where you can directly edit it. Extensions would then be able to add stuff to it if necessary.

I have released version 1.1.0 here. If you have url-rewriting enabled it will create sitemap.xml and robots.txt (ty for the idea elbekko), otherwise the sitemap will be located at misc.php?action=sitemap.
Let me know if you run into any problems, or anything needs fixing.
