Sitemap integration with redDot

[Amit Kumar]

Hi,

I want to integrate Sitemap.xml with redDot content. When any page
would be removed from CMS same url must be removed from Sitemap.xml.
Is there any way to do this?

Thanks in Advance

Amit

Off the top of my head I would create a user defined job to publish the sitemap and add it to your workflows on create and delete nodes.

Hi,

Assuming sitemap.xml is just for google site map bot to crawl.  Unless the site is CNN or any other high traffic website, google bot would probably crawl it a couple times a week.

Creating a user defined job would require the user to create a designated user to run this user defined job, or use an existing user account, but the the user account setting should support at least 2 sessions just in case the user is already logged in.  Also, should user account password change or deleted, this user defined job would fail.  Moreover, this user-defined job would not carry over if project was exported and imported.  In essence, too many things to consider going user-defined job path.

Alternatively, I would suggest using scheduled publishing job to publish sitemap.xml, publish it twice a day, or more frequently if the site structure changes a lot.

Oh, I hope sitemap.xml is constructed using the sitemap placeholder instead of generated from navigation manager because the navigation manager path would cause server to use a lot of memory and would probably require a server restart every week.

Best,

-Jian

Jian, can you clarify? We have been using navigation manager to do this and haven't experience and problems thus far (v10.1). As we have discussed in the past, one of the major reasons we do this is because we need to be able to effect the URL of a page depending upon it's type, we don't use the headline as the text we want to show up, and we need to be able to hide some pages from all navigation, or just parts of it.

Hi Joel,

With sitemap placeholder, one can also define which pages are to be excluded.

I am against navigation manager generated site map is because it forces all pages on the site to be master page, even pages that do not need to be in navigation manager, like article pages.  Smaller navigation manager structure equals a more faster CMS.
