            !! 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 [https://packagist.org/packages/evert/sitemap-php|sitemap-php] by [https://packagist.org/packages/melbahja/seo|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:
{CODE()}
<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>
{CODE}
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
{CODE(caption="Replace http://wikisuite.org with your domain name" theme="default")}# php console.php sitemap:generate http://wikisuite.org
New sitemap created.
{CODE}

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

into this:
{CODE()}
https://doc.tiki.org/sitemap.txt
{CODE}

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
