Google sitemap generator

Description

This plugin produces a site map file for submission to the ​Google sitemap service. The sitemap is a way to describe your site's content other than depending on a crawler that follows every link. It is suitable for dynamic sites with lots of different URLs for basically the same content and it allows your web site to be found better and searched better.

The plugin can be configured to notify Google by sending a PING request to their site when content on your Trac has changed (Trac 0.10 version only). For now, wiki pages and tickets are supported in the sitemap. Other things like source code and pages produced by other plugins could also be included.

The sitemap is implemented in the XML format. This is what a sample sitemap XML could look like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9 http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd">

</urlset>

More about the document format can be found on the ​Google developers page.

Fork: A ​fork on GitHub has been created with some improvements/fixes. Feel free to ​suggest new features.

The maintainership of this plugin for Trac 0.11+ was taken over by martin_s in May 2010. The new version was written from scratch, mainly because of the API changes between the Trac versions. This wiki now describes only the Trac 0.11 and newer branches. The description for the 0.10 branch is also available.
