This project is for customization of an existing oscommerce contribution, the Google XML sitemap version 1.2.
The project is ideal for a seasoned oscommerce programmer, and will lead to more complex jobs in the very near future upon successful completion of this one. Think of this as a job interview.
If accepted you will be given login access to a development server to ensure compatibility with our shared hosting account for this client. An example of the customized version of oscommerce which you will be using to do this work to, can be found here:
[login to view URL]
Since this is a heavily customized version of oscommerce, please note you will NOT be able to easily copy and paste existing contributions to complete some of this work...as it will interfer with existing custom work we have done.
Please also review the attached contractor terms of service, which shall apply to this project and future projects we may opt to have you do.
Please be sure to post URL's for at least 3 oscommerce projects you have worked on over the past few years in the PMB, and describe exactly what was done for them. Anyone not posting this information on the PMB, shall be completely ignored and your bid rejected regardless of price.

PROJECT DETAILS:
We currently have installed the google XML sitemap contribution found here:
[login to view URL],3233/
Version 1.2 to be precise. The problem with it is that the URL's created in the XML site map are not using the tep_link function, which includes the search engine friendly URL's feature if selected in admin.
Your job will be the adjustment of Google XML Site map contribution above to work with the tep_link function and default SEF URL system found in oscommerce.
In theory since the tep_link function found in the /includes/functions/[login to view URL] also creates the SEF URL's, by tapping into this and the [login to view URL] page, you should be able to properly create the URL's.
