I would like to have a nice footer sitemap like you have here.
This image is hidden for guests.
Please log in or register to see it.
I have looked all over and downloaded Xmap, but their forum says they
don't support this. I'm sure I am missing something.
I just want my footer sitemap to look nice like yours.
BTW I used Crystalline Rocket Installer for my site.
Any lessons would be appreciated.

It seems like you are looking for a dynamic module that autogenerates a site map and displays it as per your example. I personally dont know of one extension that does this.
You can build this in a custom html module by hand in the meantime, yes? I prefer this method as its just a bunch of list items. It's rare this info changes much if at all so it would be easy enuff to "set it and forget it."
Hope that helps. - Great Links:

Ahh Thanks. How is this turned into the proper format to give to Google?
I looked on here and you all suggested Xmap. Wouldn't having the same info on the site twice
cause me to lose some ranking?

The footer as shown is labeled as "quick navigation". Obviously every link and splitmenu item is not there but just the really useful ones. Top level, etc.
This shouldnt cause an issue with your sitemap submission to google. - Great Links:

I think you are confusing Site Map with navigation links in the footer.
The example you show is just basic links to areas of interest. That is not a sitemap.
A sitemap, like xmap, creates a whole page of all (most) of the links on your site. One page with links to everything.
Then, you have options in xmap to get a format that Google likes, where you can then submit the xml to Google's webmaster tools. -

The footer sitemap layout is hand coded and placed in modules.
Quick Navigation is placed in one module, RT Feeds is placed in another.
(You can see this for yourself if you inspect the RT site with FireBug.)
Here are two examples of similar coding, one from Mynxx, and one from Solar Sentinel.
Mynxx FP Bottom
<div style="float: left; width: 22%;"> <h3>Popular Accessories</h3> <ul> <li><a href="#">iPhone bluetooth headset</a></li> <li><a href="#">iPod Touch Battery Pack</a></li> <li><a href="#">In Car charger</a></li> <li><a href="#">All terrain laptop case</a></li> <li><a href="#">Blastout Speakers</a></li> </ul> </div> <div style="float: left; width: 22%;"> <h3>Latest Products</h3> <ul> <li><a href="#">Macbook Air Rev. 3</a></li> <li><a href="#">16hr Lithium Battery</a></li> <li><a href="#">8GB RAM Upgrade kit</a></li> <li><a href="#">External 190GB SSD</a></li> <li><a href="#">Chillz Cooler</a></li> </ul> </div> <div style="float: left; width: 22%;"> <h3>Editors Choice</h3> <ul> <li><a href="#">iPod Touch 16GB</a></li> <li><a href="#">Macbook Air</a></li> <li><a href="#">iBlazt Portable Speaker</a></li> <li><a href="#">TwiceLife Travel Kit</a></li> <li><a href="#">32GB Upgrade Kit</a></li> </ul> </div> <div style="float: left; width: 33%;"> <h3>Disclaimer</h3> <strong>Important:</strong> This demo is purely for demonstration purposes and all the content relating to products, services and events are fictional and are designed to showcase a live shopping site. All images are copyrighted to their respective owners. This is not an actual store, only representative of one. </div> <div class="clr"></div>
Solar Sentinal - Footer FP
<div style="float: left; width: 24%"> <h3>Latest News</h3> <ul> <li><a href="#">G20 Protests erupt with violence</a></li> <li><a href="#">French fishing blockage ceases</a></li> <li><a href="#">House prices increase by 1pc</a></li> <li><a href="#">Pirate Bay founders jailed</a></li> <li><a href="#">More Home Office leaks</a></li> </ul> </div> <div style="float: left; width: 24%"> <h3>Have your say!</h3> <ul> <li><a href="#">50mph on country roads</a></li> <li><a href="#">Stimulus or Regulation</a></li> <li><a href="#">UK join the Eurozone</a></li> <li><a href="#">Scottish Independence</a></li> <li><a href="#">Immigration & Tensions</a></li> </ul> </div> <div style="float: left; width: 24%"> <h3>Editors Choice</h3> <ul> <li><a href="#">Unprecedented Royal contact</a></li> <li><a href="#">Obama canine counterpart</a></li> <li><a href="#">North Korea's failed launch</a></li> <li><a href="#">More Government dissolution</a></li> <li><a href="#">Texas.

Content displayed is showcased as sample data. All images are copyrighted to their respective owners. All content cited is derived from their respective sources. </div>
Note that these are hand coded, not automatically generated.
Several other templates use the same hand coded 'site map' or 'quick link' at the bottom of the page.
If you want samples from a particular template, you can install the RL for that template and get the code from the backend, or post here and I will post the code for you. - Thanks,
jim
