# Grav Sitemap Plugin
`Sitemap` is a [Grav](http://github.com/getgrav/grav) Plugin that generates a [map of your pages](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Site_map) in `XML` format that is easily understandable and indexable by Search engines.
# Installation
Installing the Sitemap plugin can be done in one of two ways. Our GPM (Grav Package Manager) installation method enables you to quickly and easily install the plugin with a simple terminal command, while the manual method enables you to do so via a zip file.
## GPM Installation (Preferred)
The simplest way to install this plugin is via the [Grav Package Manager (GPM)](http://learn.getgrav.org/advanced/grav-gpm) through your system's Terminal (also called the command line). From the root of your Grav install type:
bin/gpm install sitemap
This will install the Sitemap plugin into your `/user/plugins` directory within Grav. Its files can be found under `/your/site/grav/user/plugins/sitemap`.
## Manual Installation
To install this plugin, just download the zip version of this repository and unzip it under `/your/site/grav/user/plugins`. Then, rename the folder to `sitemap`. You can find these files either on [GitHub](https://github.com/getgrav/grav-plugin-sitemap) or via [GetGrav.org](http://getgrav.org/downloads/plugins#extras).
You should now have all the plugin files under
/your/site/grav/user/plugins/sitemap
>> NOTE: This plugin is a modular component for Grav which requires [Grav](http://github.com/getgrav/grav), the [Error](https://github.com/getgrav/grav-plugin-error) and [Problems](https://github.com/getgrav/grav-plugin-problems) plugins, and a theme to be installed in order to operate.
# Usage
The `sitemap` plugin works out of the box. You can just go directly to `http://yoursite.com/sitemap` and you will see the generated `XML`.
## Config Defaults
```
enabled: true
changefreq: daily
priority: !!float 1
route: '/sitemap'
ignore_external: true
ignores:
- /blog/blog-post-to-ignore
- /ignore-this-route
- /ignore-children-of-this-route/.*
additions:
-
location: /something-special
lastmod: '2020-04-16'
changefreq: hourly
priority: 0.3
-
location: /something-else
lastmod: '2020-04-17'
changefreq: weekly
priority: 0.2
```
You can ignore your own pages by providing a list of routes to ignore. You can also use a page's Frontmatter to signal that the sitemap should ignore it:
```
sitemap:
ignore: true
```
## Only allow access to the .xml file
If you want your sitemap to only be accessible via `sitemap.xml` for example, set the route to `/sitemap` and add this to your `.htaccess` file:
`Redirect 301 /sitemap /sitemap.xml`
## Manually add pages to the sitemap
You can manually add URLs to the sitemap using the Admin settings, or by adding entries to your `sitemap.yaml` with this format:
```
additions:
-
location: /something-special
lastmod: '2020-04-16'
changefreq: hourly
priority: 0.3
```
## Dynamically adding pages to the sitemap
If you have some dynamic content being added to your site via another plugin, or perhaps a 3rd party API, you can now add them dynamically to the sitemap with a simple event:
Make sure you are subscribed to the `` event then add simply add your entry to the sitemap like this:
```php
public function onSitemapProcessed(\RocketTheme\Toolbox\Event\Event $e)
{
$sitemap = $e['sitemap'];
$location = \Grav\Common\Utils::url('/foo-location', true);
$sitemap['/foo'] = new \Grav\Plugin\Sitemap\SitemapEntry($location, '2020-07-02', 'weekly', '2.0');
$e['sitemap'] = $sitemap;
}
```
The use `Utils::url()` method allow us to easily create the correct full URL by passing it a route plus the optional `true` parameter.
