An extension for TYPO3 CMS that provides a service to locate XML sitemaps of a configured site. It supports various sitemap providers, e.g. by configured page type or robots.txt, and provides an interface to implement custom sitemap providers.

Introduction 

Installation

Usage 

This section describes how to properly use the extension in various ways. The main functionality is provided by a PHP API which allows to locate XML sitemaps of a given site. In addition, the extension provides a console command to allow XML sitemap location from console.

$siteFinder = Core\Utility\GeneralUtility::makeInstance(Core\Site\SiteFinder::class);
$sitemaps = [];

// Fetch all available sites

Developer corner 

This section provides some insights into which development options are available and how these can be used to modify the lookup process of XML sitemaps.

Sitemap providers 

To locate the sitemap of a site, so-called "sitemap providers" are available. These are executed one after the other (depending on priority) to localize XML sitemaps according to certain criteria.

interface Provider

Fully qualified name

\EliasHaeussler\Typo3SitemapLocator\Sitemap\Provider\Provider

Interface for sitemap providers used to locate the path to an XML sitemap of a given site.

get ( $site, $siteLanguage = null)

Locate XML sitemaps of the given site.

param TYPO3\CMS\Core\Site\Entity\Site $site

The site whose XML sitemap path should be located.

param TYPO3\CMS\Core\Site\Entity\SiteLanguage $siteLanguage

An optional site language to include while locating the XML sitemap path.

Returns

An array of instances of \EliasHaeussler\Typo3SitemapLocator\Domain\Model\Sitemap.

static getPriority ( )

Get the provider's priority. The higher the returned value, the earlier the provider will be executed in the sitemap location process.

returntype

int

Caching 

Once a sitemap is located by a sitemap provider, the path to the XML sitemap is cached. Caching happens with a custom sitemap_locator cache which defaults to a filesystem cache located at var/cache/code/sitemap_locator.

class SitemapsCache

Fully qualified name

\EliasHaeussler\Typo3SitemapLocator\Cache\SitemapsCache

Read and write sitemap cache entries from custom sitemap_locator cache.

get ( $site, $siteLanguage = null)

Get the located sitemaps of a given site.

param TYPO3\CMS\Core\Site\Entity\Site $site

The sitemap's site object.

param TYPO3\CMS\Core\Site\Entity\SiteLanguage $siteLanguage

An optional site language.

Returns

Located sitemaps of a given site.

set ( $sitemaps)

Add the located sitemaps to the sitemap_locator cache.

param array $sitemaps

The located sitemaps to be cached.

Events 

The extension dispatches some PSR-14 events to provide end users the ability to step in to the sitemap location and validation process.

The following events are currently dispatched:
