A slight enhancement, a lot of the internal Joomla urls assume that /index.php should give the homepage, so I altered the elseif to read as follows :
elseif (empty($pagename)||$pagename == ‘/’||$pagename == ‘/index.php’)

Otherwise fantastic, lets hope someone from the Joomla team picks this up and puts it into core

In one of my sites I needed to have

header(“HTTP/1.1 200 OK”);

in the pagename section of the if statement

Sweet! Just what I was looking for. I saw alot of other fixs, like disabling the htaccess file and then re-enabling it after verification…didn’t really trust that method though as it seems like a short cut.

I’ve just used JooMap to create a sitemap for the site too. It looks like a good product and worked first time

It creates the necessary XML files and a nice html version too.
