Generate a sitemap

Written by The Jahia Team

My website does not have a sitemap and I need to generate it: how can it be done?

Answer

To generate a sitemapn the module Jahia sitemap is the one to use. Unfortunately as it was not added when the website was created, you have to follow these following steps:

Install the module sitemap and associate it to your website

Go the JCR Console (DX_URL/modules/tools/jcrConsole.jsp) and execute the following script

def siteName = "SITE_NAME";
def ni = session.getWorkspace().getQueryManager().createQuery("select * from [jnt:page] where ['jcr:mixinTypes'] <> 'jmix:sitemap' and ISDESCENDANTNODE('/sites/" + siteName + "')", Query.JCR_SQL2).execute().getNodes(); 
while (ni.hasNext()) {
 def n = ni.nextNode();
 n.addMixin("jmix:sitemap");
 log.info("Added mixin for : " + n.getPath()); 
} 
session.save();

This script will add the mixin jmix:sitemap which is being used to generate the sitemap

From the edit mode, publish all of your website in order to apply the previous modifications to the live workspace
Open the URL WEBSITE_URL/sitemap.xml
