    Disabling sitemap provider throws exception

    This seems like a bit of a bug to me, just verifying it before I put it in the CodePlex:

    If I disable the sitemap provider in the web.config:

    <siteMap defaultProvider="UmbracoSiteMapProvider" enabled="false">

    Then I get an exception while publishing ("This feature is currently disabled, please enable section system.web/siteMap in the configuration file.").

    So I checked the Umbraco source code and found that it's doing a type check, so by completely commenting out/deleting the sitemap provider section I can avoid this exception (and that worked).

    As far as I can tell, the sitemap provider is never actually used out of the box, so I'm unsure why it's even enabled by default?

    Anyway, seems to me that there needs to be a check if enabled="true" and only then a check to see if the UmbracoSiteMapProvider is present.

    Furthermore, I have a multisite structure like this:

    - site1
     - somenode1
     - categories
      - category 1
      - category 2

    - site2
     - somenode2
     - categories
      - category 1
      - category 2

    As you can see, the category tree is the same for each site. 

    When the sitemap provider is enabled I, it does not take the hostname into account and it throws exceptions like this:

    Error adding to SiteMapProvider: System.InvalidOperationException: 
    Multiple nodes with the same URL '/categorie/category-1.aspx' were found. 
    XmlSiteMapProvider requires that sitemap nodes have unique URLs.     
     at System.Web.StaticSiteMapProvider.AddNode(SiteMapNode node, SiteMapNode parentNode)     
     at umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory.UmbracoSiteMapProvider.loadNodes(String parentId, SiteMapNode parentNode)

    But this is not a correct assessment of what "the same URL" is as the hostname prefix is missing.

    As I have about 8000 nodes currently, it seems like all these exceptions are also slowing down the publish action. If I comment out the sitemap provider section, a publish feels snappier (though, I haven't actually timed it).

    Hi Sebastiaan,

    Old thread I know, but since I'm still getting the same error when disabling sitemap in web.config (with 4.7.2) I wondered if the issue was reported on Codeplex?  I've done a search there but can't spot it.

    Otherwise do you know of a work-around?

    Thanks!

    Hi,

    I have the same experience, I also have a multisite structure with possibly duplicate node names. I've tried to set different hostnames for each root node, but the error "Multiple nodes with the same URL" still shows up. Disabling the sitemapProvider in web.config makes editing stop working, but commenting it out works. 

    Brgds

    The error is still current.. got the same. It's a easy fix in think, can it be added to Umbraco 6?
