VBSEO and static non VB pages.

My site is running vbseo3.0 and the sitemap 2.0

Im not sure as i havent had much chance to read these forums, can VBSEO be used to add non-vbulletin pages (static pages) to a sitemap?

My forums are located here mysite/forums/
and my static pages are located here mysite/index.html

Here are my current HTACCESS settings

root .htaccess:

Code:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ /forums/vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]

forums .htaccess:

Code:

# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)
# to disable mod_rewrite functions.
# Please note: you still need to disable the hack in
# the vBSEO control panel to stop url rewrites.
RewriteEngine On
# Some servers require the Rewritebase directive to be
# enabled (remove '#' at the beginning to activate)
# Please note: when enabled, you must include the path
# to your root vB folder (i.e. RewriteBase /forums)
#RewriteBase /
#RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yourdomain\.com
#RewriteRule (.*) http://www.yourdomain.com/forums/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteRule ^((urllist|sitemap_).*\.(xml|txt)(\.gz)?)$ vbseo_sitemap/vbseo_getsitemap.php?sitemap=$1 [L]
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|chat|cron)
RewriteRule ^(.*\.php)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !\.(jpg|gif)$
RewriteRule ^(archive/.*)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule ^(.+)$ vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1 [L,QSA]

If this is not possible with VBSEO, what software do people recommend for adding static pages to a sitemap.

Thanks for any help

Yes, you can use the extra-urls.txt to define additional URLs to be included in your sitemap. It's located in the vbseo_sitemap directory.

Thanks Keith,
what format would i enter the URL?

Like this?
http://www.mysite/index.php, http://www.mysite/service.php

I added some of the URL's to the extra-urls.txt file.

Code:

http://www.mysite.com/index.php
http://www.mysite.com/services.php
http://www.mysite.com/portfolio.php
http://www.mysite.com/portfolio-vbulletin-phpbb.php
http://www.mysite.com/portfolio-graphic.php

Is this correct?

Also does it matter if i use the extension PHP? or should i change them to *.HTML?

Thanks for your help

You should enter one URL per line.

You should specify URLs exactly as they are accessed.

Im getting this error with my sitemap since adding theses changes.

Any ideas?

If you include URLs *above* forums folder, you should submit sitemap in domain root, as described in Sitemap in www root
