Description

Settings of the JL Sitemap XML plugin for Phoca Download Joomla

Adding links to file categories

When adding links to categories, it is taken into account whether they are published or not. Unpublished categories are not included in the site map.

Adding links to files

In the configuration of the Phoca Download component, there is a Display File View parameter with 3 possible values:

Yes

A detailed file information page will be enabled for files. The user and search robots will be able to navigate to this page.

No

The file details page is not displayed. Information about the file is shown in a tooltip.

Yes (Only Modalbox - Category View)

The file details page is not displayed. Information about the file is displayed in a pop-up (modal) window in the form of a category.

Including files in the sitemap makes sense only if users have the opportunity to go to the detailed information page about the file. If this feature is not available or the information is shown only in a pop-up (modal) window, the files are not included in the sitemap. 

The plugin monitors the status of this parameter and forcibly excludes links to files in cases where the Phoca Download Display File View component parameter is not set to Yes. If viewing detailed information about a file on a separate page is allowed, the plugin settings are taken into account and you can manually set whether to include links to files in the Joomla XML sitemap or not.

Also, those files that have expired or have not yet been published, or the uploaded file has not been authorized - are not added to the XML site map.
