This is a Google Sitemaps generator for Elefant CMS powered websites.

To use, install it into your apps folder as sitemap.xml, then point Google Webmaster Tools to the URL /sitemap.xml on your site. On the first request it will generate a sitemap file for your site.

Additional info:

The generated site map will be cached for 24 hours by default. To change this, edit apps/sitemap.xml/conf/config.php.
To reset the cache early, log into Elefant and go to Tools > Google Sitemaps and click the reset link.
The site map will include all public pages, published blog posts, and events (if the events app is installed).

Troubleshooting

If your sitemap link (e.g., /sitemap.xml) generates a blank response, make sure you have PHP's short_open_tag setting disabled and restart your web server. This causes <?xml tags to create PHP parse errors. Note that this is different than the <?= shortened tags that are always enabled in PHP 5.4+.

Adding URLs from your custom apps

Just create a static method call on your models that returns an array of URLs you want to include in the site map, and add a line in your app's conf/config.php in the [Admin] section like this:

sitemap = "myapp\MyModel::sitemap"

Here's a sample model for the above:

<?php

namespace myapp;

class MyModel extends \Model {
	public $table = 'myapp_mymodel';

	public static function sitemap () {
		$res = self::query ()
			->where ('published', 'yes')
			->fetch_orig ();
	
		$urls = array ();
		foreach ($res as $item) {
			$urls[] = '/myapp/item/' . $item->id . '/' . \URLify::filter ($item->title);
		}
		return $urls;
	}
}

?>
