    Approaches to generating Google Sitemap automatically

    Hello everyone,

    I did a quick search on the forum about Google Sitemap generation and found a few older posts and was wondering if anyone has any newer ways to generate a Google Sitemap on Umbraco?

    Thank you! Genc

    Have you tried editing a template in the backoffice, and selecting the option to include one of the Umbraco pre-built macros. I'm sure they have a sitemap in there....

    Something like this should do the trick nicely... (I think this even comes built-in):

    @inherits Umbraco.Web.Mvc.UmbracoTemplatePage
@{
    Layout = null;

    //Set to XML
    Response.ContentType = "text/xml";
 }
 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
 <urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
 @{
     var homePage = CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf(1);

     if (homePage != null && (homePage.Children.Any()))
     {
         <url>
             <loc>@homePage.UrlWithDomain()</loc>
         </url>
         @Traverse(homePage, false)
     }
   }
  </urlset>
  @helper Traverse(IPublishedContent parent, bool newList)
  {
      var subPages = parent.Children.Where(x => x.IsVisible() && !x.HasProperty(DataNodePropertyAlias)).OrderBy(x => x.SortOrder);
      foreach (var page in subPages)
      {
          <url>
              <loc>@page.UrlWithDomain()</loc>
          </url>
          @Traverse(page, true);
      }
   }
   @functions{
      private const string DataNodePropertyAlias = "isDataNode";
   }

    hi Kris,

    I tried this and it worked. The only thing I modified was to use "Model.Content.Site()" instead of "CurrentPage.AncestorOrSelf(1)". As suggested here:

    Thank you! Genc

    Here's a screenshot (in version 7.5.13) of the "Edit Template" screen in the backoffice. If you select the dropdown next to "Insert Inline Razor Macro", you'll see "Sitemap" as one of the options and this will insert the code you need.

    Thank you MuirisOG. It is very strange, but in 7.4.14 I do not have the pre-built macros you have. This isn't normal right?

    This is what I see: enter image description here

    That is strange.

    I've looked back at earlier versions of Umbraco that I have been working on, and found that I have the option under these versions:

    6.2.4, 7.3.0, 7.4.3 and 7.5.2

    I'm using Webforms, so I don't know if that would cause such a difference.

    Here's a screenshot from 6.2.4 enter image description here

    This is how I was able to implement a dynamic sitemap on my Umbraco 7.7.9 installation:

    1. Create a Sitemap document type
    2. Create a Sitemap macro
    3. Create a rule for IIS URL rewriting of the sitemap.xml
    4. Author the Sitemap content page

    Hi Bit late to this post, but if anyone is looking for an example of how to do this using a controller, I have a blog post at https://www.georgephillipson.com/blog/umbraco/umbraco-xml-sitemap/ and it also contains code that can be downloaded from GitHub.

    Hope it helps someone
