DESCRIPTION

Catalyst::Plugin::Sitemap provides a way to semi-automate the creation of the sitemap of a Catalyst application.

CONTEXT METHOD

sitemap()

Returns a WWW::Sitemap::XML object. The sitemap object is populated by inspecting the controllers of the application for actions with the sub attribute :Sitemap.

sitemap_as_xml()

Returns the sitemap as a string containing its XML representation.

:Sitemap Subroutine Attribute

The sitemap is populated by actions ear-marked with the <:Sitemap> sub attribute. It can be invoked in different ways:

• :Sitemap

  sub alone :Local :Sitemap {
      ...
  }
  

  Adds the url of the action to the sitemap.

  If the action does not resolves in a single url, this will results in an error.

• :Sitemap($priority)

  sub with_priority :Local :Sitemap(0.9) {
      ...
  }
  

  Adds the url, with the given number, which has to be between 1 (inclusive) and 0 (exclusive), as its priority.

  If the action does not resolves in a single url, this will results in an error.

• :Sitemap( %attributes )

  sub with_args :Local
          :Sitemap( lastmod => 2010-09-27, changefreq => daily ) {
      ...
  }
  

  Adds the url with the given entry attributes (as defined by WWW::Sitemap::XML::URL).

  If the action does not resolves in a single url, this will results in an error.

• :Sitemap(*)

  sub with_function :Local :Sitemap(*) { }
  
  
  sub with_function_sitemap {
      my ( $self, $c, $sitemap ) = @_;
  
  
  $sitemap->add( 'http://localhost/with_function' );
  
  
  }
  

  Calls the function 'action_sitemap', if it exists, and passes it the controller, context and sitemap objects.

  This is currently the only way to invoke :Sitemap on an action resolving to many urls.
