Feature: #87433 - Add changefreq and priority for XML sitemap¶
See forge#87433
Description¶
Sitemap.xml files may contain a change frequency and a priority for entries.
Change frequencies define how often each page is approximately updated and hence how often it should be revisited (for example: News in an archive are "never" updated, while your home page might get "weekly" updates).
Priority allows you to define how important the page is compared to other pages on your site. The priority is stated in a value from 0 to 1. Your most important pages can get an higher priority as other pages. This value does not affect how important your pages are compared to pages of other websites.
This feature allows to define the properties changefreq
and priority
for sitemap entries in TYPO3.
The properties changefreq
and priority
of pages can be controlled via page properties.
For records, the settings can be defined in TypoScript by mapping the properties to fields of the record by
using the options changeFreqField
and priorityField
. changeFreqField
needs to point to a field containing
string values (see pages
definition of field sitemap_changefreq
), priorityField
needs to point to a field with
a decimal value between 0 and 1.
plugin.tx_seo {
config {
xmlSitemap {
sitemaps {
<unique key> {
provider = TYPO3\CMS\Seo\XmlSitemap\RecordsXmlSitemapDataProvider
config {
table = news_table
sortField = sorting
lastModifiedField = tstamp
changeFreqField = news_changefreq
priorityField = news_priority
additionalWhere = AND (no_index = 0 OR no_follow = 0)
pid = <page id('s) containing news records>
url {
pageId = <your detail page id>
fieldToParameterMap {
uid = tx_extension_pi1[news]
}
additionalGetParameters {
tx_extension_pi1.controller = News
tx_extension_pi1.action = detail
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
}
Impact¶
Two new fields are available in the page properties: sitemap_priority
(decimal) and sitemap_changefreq
(list of values, for example "weekly", "daily", "never").
Two new TypoScript options for the RecordsXmlSitemapDataProvider
have been introduced:
changeFreqField
and priorityField
.
All pages and records get a priority of 0.5 by default.
Attention
Both priority and change frequency does have no impact on your rankings. These options only gives hints to search engines in which order and how often you would like a crawler to visit your pages.
