google doesn't like when you have redirects in your sitemap...what we create as 'weblinks' in Etomite.

I modified GoogleSiteMap_XML as follows.

line 296 - to include the 'type' field (document type - either 'reference' or 'document') :

$children = $funcEtomite->getActiveChildren($listParent, "menuindex", "ASC", "id, editedon, searchable, type");

and then line 306 from if ($searchable){ to :

if (($searchable) && ($child['type'] != "reference" )){

...thereby removing any weblinks from my sitemap.


Would there be other unintended results from this change?
