Django sitemap for dynamic static pages


I have the following in my views.py:

ACCEPTED = ["x", "y", "z", ...]

def index(request, param):
    if not (param in ACCEPTED):
        raise Http404
    return render(request, "index.html", {"param": param})

Url is simple enough:

path('articles/<str:param>/', views.index, name='index'),

How do I generate a sitemap for this path only for the accepted params defined in the ACCEPTED constant? Usually examples I've seen query the database for a list of detail views.


Solution

  • There are solutions in the Django documentation for your case: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.1/ref/contrib/sitemaps/#sitemap-for-static-views

    For your pages, do something like that:

    class StaticViewSitemap(sitemaps.Sitemap):
        priority = 0.5
        changefreq = 'daily'
    
        def items(self):
            return ['x', 'y', 'z', ...]
    
        def location(self, item):
            return reverse(index, kwargs={"param": item})
