.. _sitemap_generation:
Sitemap generator
=================
This document describes how to create XML sitemaps for your Wagtail website using the ``wagtail.contrib.wagtailsitemaps`` module.
Basic configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You firstly need to add ``"wagtail.contrib.wagtailsitemaps"`` to INSTALLED_APPS in your Django settings file:
.. code-block:: python
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...
"wagtail.contrib.wagtailsitemaps",
]
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),
]
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 ``wagtailsitemaps/sitemap.xml`` template in order for them to be displayed in the sitemap.
Cache
-----
By default, sitemaps are cached for 100 minutes. You can change this by setting ``WAGTAILSITEMAPS_CACHE_TIMEOUT`` in your Django settings to the number of seconds you would like the cache to last for.
