AutoNav, Sitemap and external links
Permalink
I am using another CMS for my blog located at /blog from my site root but I am using Concrete5 for my root sites content.
How do I get this in my sitemap.xml as well as my AutoNav block. I don't want search engines to see this as an external link.
I tried going to sitemap add external link and putting in /blog, /blog/, http:mysite.com/blog and none of this works. When I click add, it just takes me to my sites root outside of the C5 admin and the page never shows up in my sitemap.

Try to add your /blog as a single page at dashboard->page&themes->single pages scroll to the bottom and enter blog. If this doesn't work, try to first add a symlink at <web-root>/single_pages/. Make sure allow follow symlinks is enabled.
Thanks for the help. This doesn't work, I think it wants a blog.php/html in the single _pages folder and to create a symlink via cpanel would require running a cron job. Another thought would be to create blog.php but do some kind of .htaccess rule. Seems pretty complicated for something that should be so simple.
i don't think you can have combined sitemaps, but google won't care as long as its linked on your site
I only want to use the C5 provided xml sitemap but if I edit it manually it will get overwritten when the C5 does it's default update which I believe is monthly.
Additionally, I can't add the link to my navigation without removing the autonav and just making my own nav menu manually, which is what I'm about to do because creating a link shouldn't be this much of a chore. (isn't that why we use a CMS in the first place?)

but whats wrong with adding an external link?
Every time I attempt to add an external link, clicking "add" takes me to my home page and never submits the request. This has been broken since the last upgrade. (5.4.0.5)
interesting works fine for me, have you tried it on the c5 demo?
why does it need a cron job?
via ssh on your server, then in your webroot try
ln -s blog/ single_pages/blog.php
and add it as single page at the dashboard.

I haven't tried it on the demo but it used to work prior to the upgrade. I just tried it on a clients site with the same results. Maybe something do do with a script that wasn't a conflict prior to 5.4.0.5. I'll try disabling any other scripts and give it a shot.
As for the SHH, my webhost doesn't allow SSH with my type of subscription. I'm sure I could ask them to create the symlink but like I said, there should be an easier way and maybe there is and it's due to one of my scripts, like I mentioned earlier. I'll give it a shot and post the results.
