Adds sitemap to your website in .html and .xml formats with ease. Sitemaps are used by search engines to better understand the structure of your website.
The page property hideInSitemap
is taken into account to exclude pages from the sitemap.
Magnolia CLI
Run in Magnolia's folder:
mgnl install raysono-magnolia-sitemap
Git
Clone magnolia sitemap repository into Magnolia's light modules folder.
To add sitemap page follows these steps:
-
Log in to your Magnolia website
-
Create a page under your home page and use “Sitemap” template for this page
-
The Sitemap will be rendered 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
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
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
