  • Enter short code in the form document myfile.pdf not found.
    • Substitute the name of your file for myfile.pdf. Remember to include the extension, i.e. .pdf, .doc, .xls. 
    • Enter the clickable text after the equals sign in text=.

The code syntax and document name must be exact or it will not work.

Uploading Custom Sitemaps

The LVSYS platform automatically generates a sitemap.xml at the root of your website (http://example.com/sitemap.xml) with an entry for all pages (Website->Web Pages), articles, members, forms and products with a short URL.

While you cannot overwrite the generated sitemap, you can upload your own custom XML sitemap by uploading it to the documents folder. Follow the directions above to upload, and then submit your sitemap to search engines.
