    How do I create a new addon from a custom database?

    Hello,
    I have a couple of custom review database which are integrated into our forums and I want to include the list of reviews in our sitemap.
    I can write a php script to create a feed as required no problem.
    Is there a tutorial or FAQ on how to reate an addon to include my reviews in the daily sitemap?
    Thanks.

    Hello,

    Using the add ons is very simple. Consult the add ons folder, as there are several examples there already. You just need to perofrm the query, and then loop through the results to print with a simple function.

    Add the script name to the sitemaop options panel at the button for additional scripts,
    then, Generate the sitemap,
    when done, you should see a new link on the index for the addon which will contain the urls.
