Google and HTML sitemaps

+ +

To aid web crawlers index the content within your repository, you can make use of sitemaps. There are currently two forms of sitemaps included in DSpace; Google sitemaps and HTML sitemaps.

+ +

Sitemaps allow DSpace to expose it's content without the crawlers having to index every page. HTML sitemaps provide a list of all items, collections and communities in HTML format, whilst Google sitemaps provide the same information in gzipped XML format.

+ +

To generate the sitemaps, you need to run [dspace]/bin/generate-sitemaps This creates the sitemaps in [dspace]/sitemaps/

+ +

The sitemaps can be accessed from the following URLs: + +

+ + HTML sitemaps follow the same procedure: + + + +

+ +

When running [dspace]/bin/generate-sitemaps the script informs Google that the sitemaps have been updated. For this update to register correctly, you must first register your Google sitemap index page (/dspace/sitemap) with Google at http://www.google.com/webmasters/sitemaps/. If your DSpace server requires the use of a HTTP proxy to connect to the Internet, ensure that you have set http.proxy.host and http.proxy.port in [dspace]/config/dspace.cfg

+ +

The URL for pinging Google, and in future, other search engines, is configured in [dspace]/config/dspace.cfg using the sitemap.engineurls setting where you can provide a comma-separated list of URLs to 'ping'. + +

You can generate the sitemaps automatically every day using an additional cron job:

+ + 
# Generate sitemaps
