I tested a few things and found it will be less painful if you add an Iframe to your custom page that points to your already made sitemap.html that the site mapper generated.
To get started paste this code into your custom page.

The Iframe code assumes that your custom page and sitemap are in the same folder.
I placed mine right after this chunk of code and it looked good.

Yours maybe different because of the original source code. Don't be afraid to experiment with the location. You'll have to adjust the height and the width of the Iframe to fit your code from your map so it all appears on your custom page.

Thanks Rolly. I better download the full version of sitemapper now, and get the sitemap published so I can work on that. Do I publish to a sitemap folder as Viv has done, or to public_html as the PDF (now from memory as it's expired ) said to do?

Then I'll try the iframe. The other page I built when I last posted is on my other PC, so I'll need to try this out later. Appreciate all your time.

Good time to drop in, Bren, not sure I understand the requirement to make the sitemap look GOOD

does anyone actually look at it, i thought i was just using it for SEO and spiders etc are virtually blind

Mine is in public_html/websitename/sitemap1, and 2 if i upload a new one

Put all your sitemap files in a folder called sitemap along with the custom page.

You'll also have to add this bit of code to your links in your actual sitemap using the html editor. This code will force the parent window to go to the link that's clicked on instead of the Iframe window opening the link.

Viv, I had a sitemap that I made myself on my last site, and customers used it all the time as it was a great way of seeing all of my stock without going through pages of images, so while sitemaps are great for SEO, they are also great for site navigation.

Update Rolly:

I installed sitemapper & uploaded the files after I ran a scan. I was there, and had my ADD moment, so just did it, and put it to public_html as I hadn't read these posts then. It's all working fine, and took a few seconds to upload. It actually doesn't look too bad as is.

I just tried the iframe, but when I clicked on a link I got the double website look. I think that idea might be above my level of expertise.

So now I just tried dropping all the source code from the sitemap in, and it looks great as it has the site background instead of the sitemap background. I think I may stick with this option as I've already tried messing around with organizing it in a more logical site structure & I think the end result will be better for me as sitemapper does map the SCC sites a little differently - and I'd like it to sort so it's easier for customers.

You should write an article for SCC users on how to add a custom page - whether it be for a sitemap, or just additional pages. You made this really easy for me. Thanks!

So now I will upload this to my public_html folder, I don't think I need to make the links absolute as the custom page will reside in with the site? Thanks again!

Ok if you happy with the end result that's all that matters. There's few different approaches at getting your sitemap code in the page. I suggested the Iframe because my sitemapper css was overriding some of my shop css so I was getting a few undesirable affects by laying the code in the page. My previous post is the fix for your dbl webpage look.

Oh, undesirable effects - I don't want any of those.

What were the effects Rolly? I'll stop playing around with this until I hear back.

I do like the look better as it doesn't have the plain white background of the sitemap, so blends with the site really well. The search fix moved the search box slightly, which also moved the cart summary, but it doesn't bother me if it is just on the custom page, but if I publish it, will it over-ride & move the search/cart summary on the whole site?

Go ahead and publish your page. Everything your doing won't affect the rest of your site. The css issue was only on my custom page and it was a small issue.

Thanks Rolly, I'm back to work now.

I still have to organize it the way I want, so I may be a day or two before I get it all done. Thanks so much for your help again.

btw, I do really like the CC html editor.
