Bridgetown Sitemap Generator Plugin

Bridgetown plugin to silently generate a sitemaps.org compliant sitemap for your Bridgetown site

Usage

• Install the plugin with the following command:

bundle add bridgetown-sitemap

• Add the following to your site's config/initializers.rb:

Bridgetown.configure do |config|
  config.url = "https://example.com" # the base hostname & protocol for your site

  init :"bridgetown-sitemap"
end

<lastmod> tag

The <lastmod> tag in the sitemap.xml will reflect by priority:

• A personalised date if you add the variable last_modified_at: with a date in the Front Matter. (Dates need to be formatted as %Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S %z)
• The modified date of the file as reported by git log.

<priority> and <changefreq> tag

You can optionally specify a priority and change frequency for each page in your site by adding the following to the Front Matter of each page:

sitemap_priority: 0.7
sitemap_change_frequency: weekly

This will add the following to the <url> tag in the sitemap.xml:

<priority>0.7</priority>
<changefreq>weekly</changefreq>

Exclusions

If you would like to exclude specific pages from the sitemap set the sitemap flag to false in the front matter for the page.

sitemap: false

To exclude multiple files, add a glob config to your config/initializers.rb file.

Bridgetown.configure do |config|
  # ...

  config.defaults << {
    "scope" => { "path" => "assets/**/*.pdf" },
    "values" => { "sitemap" => false }
  }
end
