it would be useful to have a sitemap generator directly in dreamweaver

    Correct answer Paul-M

    Do a Google search for site map generator, there are tools about these that can create a sitemap by crawling your site...

     

    There is also this: https://www.dmxzone.com/go/10538/google-sitemap-generator-2/ but I would check with the developers if it works with the latest Dreamweaver versions

    Thank you very much.

    The point lies in the fact that every time you change or update a page in DW, in theory it should regenerate a sitemap and put it online. And this requires: creating the sitemap, and doing FTP. It would be convenient if the system provided for an automatic update of the sitemap of the site, so as to only have to do the FTP without resorting to other tools, which sometimes do not generate a complete xml and which must then be revised and fixed. Adobe Muse, for example, put a new sitemap online at each FTP: it was a convenient function, which would also fit in DW.

    To be honest, it's nothing I would use.  My site maps are auto-generated on the server with PHP script.

     

    And Dreamweaver isn't receiving any new features.

    Why is dreamweaver not geting any new features? It's the best program for what it does. So now it will be like fireworks? Man! Macromedia should have not sold to adobe. adobe makes horrible decisions.

    No need for one.  Use this online site map generator.  It's free.

    Site maps are helpful for new sites so search engines crawlers can index your site.   Google Docs tells you how to do it. 

    https://developers.google.com/search/docs/advanced/sitemaps/build-sitemap

     

    Make your sitemap available to Google by adding it to your robots.txt file or directly submitting it to Search Console.

    It's a feature that was present, a long time ago, in Dreamweaver, that worked only on the real first pages, then that was not maintained anymore as soon as the web became really dynamic, moreover it remained in a proprietary format and didn't allow export (if I remember correctly).... finally, it has been removed.

     

    It is true that there are many automatic generators online today, and this is the way to go, because DW has gone into minimum maintenance mode... no more new features will be added.
