Generate a sitemap

Question

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
