Introduction

OrdinarySiteMap (OSM) is an Adobe Dreamweaver Extension designed to create a simple site map page by reading the root directory of the current site and creating a link for every web type file in the site.

OSM is a Command type extension available from the Commands menu. If the site map file does not exist, the OrdinarySiteMap.html file will be written to the root directory. You may edit the header and footer of the site map file including the CSS. Be aware, the code between the <!-- OrdinarySiteMap --> code markers is overwritten everytime the extension is run. In other words, you can make changes to the presentation of the OrdinarySiteMap.html file and later, update the file list.

OrdinarySiteMap was written by Jon Wojkowski at meshgraphics.com.

Installation

  1. Download the OrdinarySiteMap.mxp file to a place where you can find it, later.
  2. In Dreamweaver, select Help/Manage Extensions. This will launch the Adobe Extension Manager.
  3. In Extension Manager, select File/Install Extension... Select the file you just downloaded.

Done.

In the Dreamweaver menu Commands, you will now see the OrdinarySiteMap command.

Using OSM

  1. In Dreamweaver, select the Commands menu, select OrdinarySiteMap.
  2. The pop-up menu has two input fields: Website URL and File List.
    3. Website URL:
    this is simple text which is printed at the top of the site map page.
    File Filter:
    this is a semi-colon (;) separated list of file extensions. Files with these extensions will be included in the site map. Otherwise, leave this field blank to include all files.
  3. Press OK, to generate the OrdinarySiteMap.html file in the root directory. The file is opened for editing.
