I would use multiple site 'maps' and break them out into logical units that perhaps reuse some XML configs and all(?) XSL.

I have a pretty comprehensive system that includes a slim site.xml that looks like:

<site xmlns="http://livestoryboard.com/schemas/lsb" generate="1" label="Home" id="demo_root" css="default.css" xsl="default" name="DEMO" index_page="site_ind"> <page generate="1" label="Welcome" id="site_ind" name="Welcome.html"/> <folder generate="1" label="Destinations" id="f1034364271" onnav="1" name="Destinations" index_page="p1958461133"> <page label="Destinations" id="p1958461133" name="destinations.html" generate="1"/> </folder> <topic label="content_root" id="t339321861" xsl="topics" name="t339321861"> <content label="homepromo" id="c682201793" name="tester.html"/> <content label="placeholder" id="c780459541" name="placeholder.html"/> <content label="right" id="c807589041" name="c807589041.html"/> </topic> </site>

I also create a metadata file for each element. For example, here is the the metadata for the page with id site_ind:

<md-page xmlns="http://livestoryboard.com/schemas/lsb" status="editorial" created="2004-02-17T12:25:42" modified="2004-03-28T09:52:20" last_mod_by="Iva Koberg"> <title>Welcome </title> <description>This is a demo site that shows off sample setup and commonly used features of liveSTORYBOARD CMS. For more info, visit www.livestoryboard.com.</description> <regions> <region name="wideCol"> <content ref="c682201793"/> </region> <region name="narrowCol"> <content ref="c807589041"/> </region> </regions> </md-page>

So you get a site.xml with as little as possible and then put extra (any, I qualify it with a project schema) info in the metdata.

best,

I think this is what you're looking for. I personally maintain my own
"sitemap" file that turns into a "sitemap.html", and I use it for some
other
things like navigation menus, page grouping/sequencing, but that is more
suited to my needs and shouldn't be very hard for you to implement.

I ask this in xsl because I need a xml file that will list an entire
(enterprise size) site in one file and be easily sorted via xsl.
Do anyone have any ideas on a good framework for this?
