Sitemap

A simple ruby on rails sitemap generator.

Instalation

Install the gem:

gem install sitemap

Or as a plugin:

rails plugin install git://github.com/viseztrance/rails-sitemap.git

Then create the initial config file:

rails g sitemap:install

Usage

In your sitemap config file, paths can be indexed as follows:

Sitemap::Generator.instance.load :host => "mywebsite.com" do
  path :root, :priority => 1
  path :faq, :priority => 0.5, :change_frequency => "weekly"
  resources :activities, :params => { :format => "html" }
  resources :articles, :objects => proc { Article.published }
end

Please read the docs for a more comprehensive list of options.

Building the sitemap:

rake sitemap:generate

Ping search engines:

rake sitemap:ping

Setting defaults

You may change the defaults for either params or search options as follows:

Sitemap.defaults[:params] = { :format => "html" }

Limitations

Sitemaps can only have up to 50000 urls and an uncompressed size of 10MB. This issue will be resolved in a future release.
