3rd party Joomla extensions support
In this version, we introduce PWT Sitemap plugins to support 3rd party extensions like Kunena, Virtuemart, Zoo, K2, Hikashop, JoomGallery, DJ-Classifieds and EasyDiscuss. These small plugins will take care of adding the content of those extensions to your sitemap. Looking for other extension support? Visit the roadmap & let us know!
New PWT Sitemap dashboard view
We improved the dashboard view of PWT Sitemap. It will list the different types of sitemaps and allows you to quickly add a new sitemap in the menu of your choice. Once your sitemap is active you can quickly access the items of your sitemap to control the visibility.
Another new feature visible on the dashboard is the toolbar button to add the XML sitemap to your robots.txt file so search engines will find your XML sitemap.
Set robots setting for menu-items via batch
In the batch functionality of PWT Sitemap we added a new feature to set the robots setting for all selected menu-items. In that way, you can quickly change these settings in bulk instead of opening and changing the setting per menu-item.

Besides these main new features, we have added several other improvements and fixed a few bugs. See the changelog below for all changes. Translations of PWT Sitemap are also updated with the ones provided by our translators.
