Sitemap generator

|
=================
|
|
|
|
This document describes how to create XML sitemaps for your Wagtail website
|
|
using the ``wagtail.contrib.wagtailsitemaps`` module.
|
|
|
|
|
|
.. note::
|
|
|
|
As of Wagtail 1.10 the Django contrib sitemap app is used to generate
|
|
sitemaps. However since Wagtail requires the Site instance to be available
|
|
during the sitemap generation you will have to use the views from the
|
|
``wagtail.contrib.wagtailsitemaps.views`` module instead of the views
|
|
provided by Django (``django.contrib.sitemaps.views``).
|
|
|
|
The usage of these views is otherwise identical, which means that
|
|
customisation and caching of the sitemaps are done using the default Django
|
|
patterns. See the Django documentation for in-depth information.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Basic configuration
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
|
|
You firstly need to add ``"django.contrib.sitemaps"`` to INSTALLED_APPS in your
|
|
Django settings file:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
INSTALLED_APPS = [
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
"django.contrib.sitemaps",
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
|
|
Then, in ``urls.py``, you need to add a link to the
|
|
``wagtail.contrib.wagtailsitemaps.views.sitemap`` view which generates the
|
|
sitemap:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: python
|
|
|
|
from wagtail.contrib.wagtailsitemaps.views import sitemap
|
|
|
|
urlpatterns = [
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
url('^sitemap\.xml$', sitemap),
|
|
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
# Ensure that the 'sitemap' line appears above the default Wagtail page serving route
|
|
url(r'', include(wagtail_urls)),
|
|
]
|
|
|
|
|
|
You should now be able to browse to ``/sitemap.xml`` and see the sitemap
|
|
working. By default, all published pages in your website will be added to the
|
|
site map.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Setting the hostname
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
By default, the sitemap uses the hostname defined in the Wagtail Admin's
|
|
``Sites`` area. If your default site is called ``localhost``, then URLs in the
|
|
sitemap will look like:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: xml
|
|
|
|
<url>
|
|
<loc>http://localhost/about/</loc>
|
|
<lastmod>2015-09-26</lastmod>
|
|
</url>
|
|
|
|
|
|
For tools like Google Search Tools to properly index your site, you need to set
|
|
a valid, crawlable hostname. If you change the site's hostname from
|
|
``localhost`` to ``mysite.com``, ``sitemap.xml`` will contain the correct URLs:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: xml
|
|
|
|
<url>
|
|
<loc>http://mysite.com/about/</loc>
|
|
<lastmod>2015-09-26</lastmod>
|
|
</url>
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
Customising
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
URLs
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
The ``Page`` class defines a ``get_sitemap_urls`` method which you can override
|
|
to customise sitemaps per ``Page`` instance. This method must return a list of
|
|
dictionaries, one dictionary per URL entry in the sitemap. You can exclude
|
|
pages from the sitemap by returning an empty list.
|
|
|
|
Each dictionary can contain the following:
|
|
|
|
- **location** (required) - This is the full URL path to add into the sitemap.
|
|
- **lastmod** - A python date or datetime set to when the page was last modified.
|
|
- **changefreq**
|
|
- **priority**
|
|
|
|
You can add more but you will need to override the
|
|
``sitemap.xml`` template in order for them to be displayed in the sitemap.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Serving multiple sitemaps
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
If you want to support the sitemap indexes from Django then you will need to
|
|
use the index view from ``wagtail.contrib.sitemaps.views`` instead of the index
|
|
view from ``django.contrib.sitemaps.views``. Please see the Django
|
|
documentation for further details.
