Learn moreWhat is GoogleSiteMap?¶
GoogleSiteMap is a snippet that will display a Google-customized SiteMap for your site.
Requirements¶
- MODX Revolution 2.2.x or later
- PHP5.4 or later
Historyand Info¶
In 2016 GoogleSiteMap was completely re-written by YJ Tso (@sepiariver) based on blazing-fast sitemap code by Garry Nutting (@garryn), after it was found that the legacy Snippet would time-out when more than several thousand nodes needed to be generated.
The trade-off was that some of the legacy features could not be supported. An attempt was made to maintain backwards compatibility, by calling the legacy Snippet if a legacy feature is required.
The legacy GoogleSiteMap Snippet was originally written by Shaun McCormick (splittingred) as a Snippet to display a Google SiteMap, and first released on June 23rd, 2009.
Download¶
It can be downloaded from within the MODX Revolution manager via Package Management, or from the MODX Extras Repository, available here: https://modx.com/extras/package/googlesitemap
Development and Bug Reporting¶
GoogleSiteMap source code is managed in GitHub, and can be found here: http://github.com/modxcms/GoogleSiteMap
Usage¶
GoogleSiteMap can be called via the Snippet tags.
Snippets¶
GoogleSiteMap comes with two snippets:
Examples¶
Display a Google SiteMap for tens of thousands of Resources.
[[!GoogleSiteMap]]
Display a Google SiteMap for a more modest number of Resources, using a custom item template Chunk.
[[!GoogleSiteMap? &itemTpl=`myCustomTpl`]]
Note: the latter example would result in the legacy Snippet being called and will time-out if a huge number of nodes need to be generated.
