Add category to sitemap

[alexanderloewe]

Hello,

I want to add a category to sitemaps, but by adding the category handle like an entry handle i don't get any output.

Is this option not available in seomate?

regards

You can add any type of element (including categories) to sitemaps, but you'll need to use the expanded criteria syntax for the sitemapConfig config setting for all element types except entries.

Something like this should do it:

'sitemapConfig' => [
    'elements' => [
        'awesomecategories' => [
            'elementType' => \craft\elements\Category::class,
            'criteria' => ['group' => 'awesomeCategories'],
            'params' => ['changefreq' => 'daily', 'priority' => 0.5],
        ],
    ],
],

Sorry, I did not see that one in the Doc. Works fine, thx.

Maybe it could make sens to add it as a separat point with a h2 or h3 to the doc. Something like:

Adding a Category to the Sitemap

'sitemapConfig' => [
    'elements' => [
        'awesomecategories' => [
            'elementType' => \craft\elements\Category::class,
            'criteria' => ['group' => 'awesomeCategories'],
            'params' => ['changefreq' => 'daily', 'priority' => 0.5],
        ],
    ],
],

Yeah, I suppose that info could be easier to find. We'll look into improving that.
