Best Way to Display Site Map?

drollins · Post by **drollins** » Tue Nov 20, 2007 3:55 am

I want to simply display the site map when the user clicks a link from the footer.

I am not sure how to go about this. I see web.sitemap and have read up on using this file as a datasource etc.

Can someone point me in the right direction here. What is the best way to accomplish this?

I could hack something in but am really looking for best practices as I get my feet wet with this product.

Thanks

OK - so no one actually knows how to do this?

Isn't it a standard XML sitemap file that can be used as a datasource to the .Net sitemap control?

Copy and paste this code into a new file in your store folder. Make sure to name it with a .aspx extension. Hit the file directly with the URL. Make sure you have a web.sitemap file in your store folder before running the new page.

I think this is what you are looking for...

Code: Select all

<%@ Page Language="VB" %>

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<script runat="server">

</script>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" >
<head runat="server">
    <title>Untitled Page</title>
</head>
<body>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        <ASP:SITEMAPDATASOURCE ID="SiteMapDataSource1" RUNAT="server" />
    
    </div>
        <ASP:TREEVIEW ID="TreeView1" RUNAT="server" DATASOURCEID="SiteMapDataSource1">
        </ASP:TREEVIEW>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

You're welcome. I'm thinking about making it a user control and selling it for millions.

Guess I shouldn't have posted my source code now that I think about it
