How to use the sitemap feature

New in Tiki18: A built-in site map XML generator: https://sourceforge.net/p/tikiwiki/code/63719
Revamped in Tiki23 by replacing deprecated sitemap-php by melbahja/seo

The sitemap protocol is located in the control panels / general preferences page / navigation tab. After activation, you can select 'sitemap' in the tools menu or visit tiki-admin_sitemap.php

Clicking on 'rebuild sitemap' will generate two xml files (sitemap.xml, sitemap-index.xml).

The sitemap-index.xml file will look like this:

<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
    <sitemap>
        <loc>
            http://example.org/storage/public/sitemap.xml
        </loc>
        <lastmod>2017-09-26</lastmod>
    </sitemap>
</sitemapindex>

You can then submit the sitemap-index.xml file to Google Sitemaps.

This uses https://packagist.org/packages/evert/sitemap-php

Launch from the command line

# php console.php sitemap:generate http://wikisuite.org
New sitemap created.

The result is here: http://wikisuite.org/storage/public/sitemap.xml

How to use the sitemap feature in tiki 9.x

New in Tiki 9.2
This helps to submit a sitemap.txt file with links to be indexed to search englines like Google.

Basically, what it does if you uncomment the line in .htaccess (and set it to your own category ID) is rewriting for example this:

https://doc.tiki.org/tiki-browse_categories.php?find=&deep=on&type=wiki+page&parentId=1&sort_mode=name_asc&links&maxRecords=1000000

into this:

https://doc.tiki.org/sitemap.txt

Live demo: https://doc.tiki.org/tiki-browse_categories.php?find=&deep=on&type=wiki+page&parentId=1&sort_mode=name_asc&links&maxRecords=1000000
