I got this error "ValueError: attempted relative import beyond top-level package "

[hans alexander]

my structure is like this:

my_project

       blog

              ....

              sitemaps.py

              ....

       my_project

              ....

              urls.py

              ....

Inside sitemaps.py :

from django.contrib.sitemaps import Sitemap
from .models import *

class BlogPostsSitemap(Sitemap):
    changefreq = 'daily'
    priority = 0.9
    def items(self):
        return PostModel.published.all()

    def lastmod(self,obj):
        return obj.updated

my case:
1. In settings.py I want to import BlogPostsSitemap.

2. I tried like this

but then I got an error "ValueError: attempted relative import beyond top-level package" when I ran the server.

Is anyone here got the solution? Or maybe some references how to create sitemap on django? 

Thanks.

Sorry, point no 1 needs to be revised..
1. In urls.py, I want to import BlogPostsSitemap

Not sure why you are importing this into your main project urls.py but its very straight forward

from blog.sitemaps import BlogPostsSitemap

question... are you trying to map the application url here? then you should use path('xxxx/' , Include("blog.urls"))

I followed a tutorial for creating django sitemap, but still got problems along the way. 

I've seen some videos, but didn't work.  
Do you have any references for easy way creating django sitemap for blog posts?

Sure it would help.

Thanks

I did this long time ago and here is what i did...

in settings.py

SITE_ID = 1

# Application definition

INSTALLED_APPS = [

           # ...

           'django.contrib.sites',

           'django.contrib.sitemaps',

]

run migration i.e. 

>>> py manage.py migrate    OR     python manage.py migrate

after this step, sites application will be in sync with the database.

create a file sitemaps.py in your blog application. Your sitemap.py seems okay to me.

update your main project urls.py file

....

from django.contrib.sitemaps.views import sitemap

from blog.sitemaps import BlogPostsSitemap

sitemaps = {

        'posts' : BlogPostsSitemap,

}

urlpatterns = [

          ....

          path('sitemap.xml', sitemap, {'sitemaps': sitemaps},  name='django.contrib.sitemaps.views.sitemap'),

]

Now run the development server and open (assuming you are using default configuration) http://127.0.0.1:8000/sitemap

lets try...

Thanks guys.. Already solved it. 
I guess the main reason of the problem is that I'm using Pycharm Community Edition.

So the alert error not accurate.

Anyway I tried to py manage.py with some alerts, and worked.

for example:

I left it like that. And sitemap still works.

But now the new problem is when I submitted my sitemap.xml to google search console, I got this error.

I don't know why.

Even when I access the domain/sitemap.xml, the sitemap is showing.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Another problem now..

I don't know why,
in local
localhost:8000/sitemap.xml will generate sitemap.xml.

But on heroku, 
domain/sitemap.xml will error h13.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.
