django-sitemapper 1.0.0-beta.2

A small Django app to manage sitemap.xml overrides on a per-object basis

A small Django app to manage sitemap.xml overrides on a per-object basis.

Brief installation notes are given below, but see our online documentation for more details.

Requirements

Django 1.4.2 or greater, Python 2.7 or greater.

Installation

Use your favorite Python installer to install it from PyPI:

$ pip install django-sitemapper

If you are using pip version 1.4 or later you’ll need to explicitly allow pre-release installation:

$ pip install --pre django-sitemapper

Or get the source from the application site:

$ hg clone https://bitbucket.org/mhurt/django-sitemapper
$ cd django-sitemapper
$ python setup.py install

Configuration

Add "sitemapper" to your INSTALLED_APPS setting like this:

INSTALLED_APPS = {
  ...
  'sitemapper'
}

For Django 1.7 users, run python manage.py migrate to create the models. Otherwise simply run python manage.py syncdb.

Setting up a sitemap

Create a sitemaps.py file within your app directory and add the following (replacing MyModel with whatever you called yours):

# sitemaps.py
from sitemapper.mixins import Sitemap
from .models import MyModel


class MyModelSitemap(Sitemap):

    # Set some defaults for your model's sitemap...
    default_changefreq = 'weekly'
    default_priority = 0.5

    # ... and the queryset you want to use...
    queryset = MyModel.objects.all()

    # ... and some means to access the last-modified timestamp.
    def lastmod(self, obj):
        return obj.lastmodified

From this point onwards you can use MyModelSitemap as you would any other sitemaps instance. See Django’s sitemaps documentation for how to wire this up with your urlconf.

• Changed: Refactored Sitemap.priority() and Sitemap.changefreq() methods.

• New: Added support for South migrations.

There will be at least one more beta release before v1.0 final. I’ll be adding more tests and adding to the documentation but the API should remain stable from this point.
