Friendly Sitemap makes adding a dynamic sitemap.xml file to your Umbraco 8 website easy!
This package is supported on Umbraco 8.1+.
Friendly Sitemap is available from Our Umbraco, NuGet, or as a manual download directly from GitHub.
You can find a downloadable package on the Our Umbraco site.
To install from NuGet, run the following command in your instance of Visual Studio.
PM> Install-Package Our.Umbraco.FriendlySitemap
Once installed, the sitemap will be visible on the URL /sitemap.xml, such as https://www.yoursite.com/sitemap.xml. The items displayed in the sitemap will be specific to the current domain.
If a physical sitemap.xml file exists in your website, the dynamically generated sitemap will be disabled.
It is possible to disable the sitemap via an app setting in web.config file:
<add key="Umbraco.Sitemap.EnableSitemap" value="false" />
By default the sitemap will include all content items within the current site with a template assigned.
Adding a true / false (boolean) property to any doctype with the alias sitemapExclude makes it possible to hide specific items from the sitemap.
All of the XML Sitemap v0.9 tag definitions can be modified by adding properties with specific aliases to any doctype:
| Attribute | Property alias |
|---|---|
| url | url |
| lastmod | updateDate |
| changefreq | sitemapChangeFreq |
| priority | sitemapPriority |
It is possible to override the default configuration of the package using dependency injection, by registering a new instance of SitemapConfiguration within an IUserComposer class.
This is helpful for advanced configuration needs, such as defining unique settings per site in a multi-site Umbraco installation.
Here's an example:
using Our.Umbraco.FriendlySitemap.Startup;
[ComposeAfter(typeof(SitemapComposer))]
public class CustomSitemapComposer : IUserComposer
{
public void Compose(Composition composition)
{
composition.Register(factory => GetConfiguration(), Lifetime.Request);
}
private SitemapConfiguration GetConfiguration()
{
var configuration = new SitemapConfiguration
{
EnableSitemap = true
};
return configuration;
}
}
