Hi, I wrote this script to generate a Cheverote sitemap.xml file.
Its executed via a cron job and seems to be working perfectly.
Step-1: This script will generate a sitemap.xml file with existing category names fron Your Chevereto.
Step-2: Create a new file and save it as sitemap.php
Step-3: Upload a sitemap.php file in your Cheverote home web - (FTP)
Step-4: For the Cron Job..
ROOT: crontab -e
USER: crontab -u USER -e
add this script:
Remember to change the domain www.yourdomain.com with your Cheverote Domain.
If you want to test the script without the Cron Job, disable this line in the php:
and enter this URL in your Browser: http://www.yourdomain.com/sitemap.php
Step-5: Check the FTP and see a file created with the name sitemap.xml
*You can add more options for sitemap.php, for example Users Public Albums
DEMO: https://zupics.com/sitemap.xml

PLEASE READ THIS:
Sitemap.xml, on the other hand, is a file where you list all of the pages of your website.
It tells the search engines – Google, Bing, Yahoo and others about the pages, images, videos and grouping of your site content.
Search engine web crawlers such as Googlebot read the sitemap.xml and indexed your site to their search directories.
Create an XML sitemap that can be submitted to Google, Bing, Yahoo and other search engines to help them crawl your website better.
How do you submit sitemap.xml to the search engines?
Due to time limitation, I will limit my response to submitting sitemap.xml to only Google.
Submitting your sitemap.xml to Google Webmaster Tools
This in return creates a significant impact on a business sales and bottom line.
If your business’ website doesn’t have a sitemap.xml, you’re most likely leaving money on the table.
