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

Another simpler alternative:

from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
from django.contrib.sitemaps import Sitemap


class ViewSitemap(Sitemap):
    """Reverse 'static' views for XML sitemap."""

    def items(self):
        # Return list of url names for views to include in sitemap
        return ['homepage', 'news_article_list', 'contact_page']

    def location(self, item):
        return reverse(item)


sitemaps = {'views': ViewSitemap}

I've deliberately omitted lastmod and changefreq, as specifying incorrect/assumed data is worse than not including it.
