Using a custom class and Magento specific (collections) code, this simple script is designed to be used via the command line / cron job to generate a Google compatible XML sitemap.
Upload the sitemap.php file to your Magento shell folder (within the root).
The sitemap generator can then be run via the command line with php shell/sitemap.php or set up as a regular task via crontab.
When run, the script will ouput a sitemap.xml file in the parent directory to the sitemap.php file (see below for changing path).
The XML file will contain:
- All CMS pages which are have status Active
- All Catalog Categories which have status Enabled
- All Catalog Products which are Enabled and have visibility "Catalog" or "Catalog, Search"
You can change the priority field of the different url types and the path of the required Magento Mage.php and outputted sitemap.xml file by updating the lines below:
require_once (dirname(__FILE__).'/../app/Mage.php');
Mage::app();
$sitemap_file = dirname(__FILE__).'/../sitemap.xml';
$page_priority = '1';
$category_priority = '0.5';
$product_priority = '0.5';
The script is designed to work with single store Magento setups.
