Usage

To add sitemap page follows these steps:

2. Create page under your home page and use “Sitemap” template to this page

3. Sitemap was created in both .html and .xml formats for you.

To preview sitemap navigate to url of the page you just created.

Example of sitemap urls for both formats

• https://www.my-site.com/sitemap.html - .html format

• https://www.my-site.com/sitemap.xml - .xml format

localhost:

• localhost:8080/home/sitemap.html - .html format

• localhost:8080/home/sitemap.xml - .xml format

Configuration

Exclude templates from indexing

When excluding templates from indexing, each page on your site with this template will not be included in the sitemap.

To exclude templates from indexing to sitemap open your-project/light-modules/sitemap/includes/sitemap_macro.ftl in your favourite IDE and locate this line of code:

[#assign excludedTemplates = ['sitemap:pages/sitemap']] // Add names of templates you want to exclude to this array

Change url priorities in .xml format

In .xml format of sitemap each url has a priority. Highest possible priority is 1, which is the root page. Every other "/" in the url descreases the priority by 0.1.

Example

• https://www.my-site.com - priority 1

• https://www.my-site.com/foo - priority 0.9

• https://www.my-site.com/foo/bar - priority 0.8

localhost:

• localhost:8080 - priority 1

• localhost:8080/foo - priority 0.9

• localhost:8080/foo/bar - priority 0.8

To configure priority values open your-project/light-modules/sitemap/templates/pages/sitemap-xml.ftl in your favourite IDE and locate this line of code:

[#assign priority = (9 - (slashCount?size - initialSlashCount))/10] // Adjust this algorithm to change priority values
