Django Sitemaps and “normal” views

Question

Maybe I didn\'t understand the purpose of Sitemaps or maybe I didn\'t understand how to use sitemaps. Right now my sitemap is including all \"dynamically\" created pages, like t

Answer 1

I deal with it in this way:

An abstract class for defining static page's attributes.

class AbstractSitemapClass():
    changefreq = 'daily'
    url = None
    def get_absolute_url(self):
        return self.url

The sitemap class for static pages:

class StaticSitemap(Sitemap):
    pages = {
             'home':'/', #Add more static pages here like this 'example':'url_of_example',
             'contact':'/contact/',
             }
    main_sitemaps = []
    for page in pages.keys():
        sitemap_class = AbstractSitemapClass()
        sitemap_class.url = pages[page]        
        main_sitemaps.append(sitemap_class)

    def items(self):
        return self.main_sitemaps    
    lastmod = datetime.datetime(2010, 8, 31)   #Enter the year,month, date you want in yout static page sitemap.
    priority = 1
    changefreq = "yearly"   

Use this in the sitemaps dictionary to be used in urls.py:

sitemaps = {
        'main':StaticSitemap,
        'flatpages':MyFlatPageSitemap,
        'model':PostSitemap,
        }
