GoogleSiteMap Snippet

This snippet displays a Google Sitemap. Version 2 is many times faster than Version 1, but with less options. If params are specified that depend on the old version, it will be called. Check this page for the properties available in the old version.

Note: if you try to view a XML sitemap with tens of thousands of nodes in your browser, it will take a good long while to render it. However the server response should be a few seconds or less. More testing would be welcome. Please file issues here: https://github.com/modxcms/GoogleSiteMap/issues

Usage

Simply place the snippet in the Resource you want to use, and set the Resource's Template to 'blank':

[[!GoogleSiteMap]]

Don't forget to set the content type to 'xml'.

GoogleSiteMap Chunks

There is 1 chunk processed with GoogleSiteMap:

Examples

Display a sitemap for the current context:

[[!GoogleSiteMap]]

Display a sitemap that combines both the web and marketing contexts:

[[!GoogleSiteMap? &context=`web,marketing`]]

Limit the sitemap to only the Resources with Template named 'BlogTemplate', and exclude the Resources with IDs 123 or 78:

[[!GoogleSiteMap?
    &allowedtemplates=`BlogTemplate`
    &templateFilter=`templatename`
    &excludeResources=`123,78`
]]

NOTE: the last example would call the legacy Snippet, which will time out if many thousands of nodes need to be generated.
