Recipe for creating Dynamic sitemap with CodeIgniter.
Like yoursite.com/sitemap.xml
Example.
Suppose you have an articles blog where url for each article is by article ID Like yoursite.com/123 .
All articles are stored in articleTable of the database.
First Create a model to get URLs.
- Create a file named url_model.php in application/models directory.
- Get Urls from database
<?php
class Url_model extends CI_Model{ public function __construct(){ $this->load->database(); } public function getURLS(){ $this->db->select('articleID'); $query=$this->db->get('articleTable'); return $query->result_array(); }}?>Create Controller for Sitemap.
- Create a file named sitemap.php in application/controllers directory.
- Get Urls from model and load them in view
<?php
Class Sitemap extends CI_Controller { public function __construct(){ parent::__construct(); $this->load->model('url_model'); } function sitemap() { $data['urlslist'] = $this->url_model->getURLS(); $this->load->view("sitemap_view",$data); }}?>Create View for Sitemap
- Create a file named sitemap_view.php in application/views directory.
- Display the Urls in format
<?php echo'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>' ?>
<url> <loc><?php echo base_url();?></loc> <priority>1.0</priority> </url> <!-- Your Sitemap --> <?php foreach($urlslist as $url) { ?> <url> <loc><?php echo base_url()."/".$url['articleID']?></loc> <priority>0.5</priority> </url> <?php } ?></urlset>Edit routes.php
- Open routes.php in application/config directory.
- Add the following line to routes
$route['sitemap.xml'] = "sitemap/sitemap_view";
Your sitemap is ready and can be accessed from yoursite.com/sitemap.xml. It can also be submitted to services like Google Webmaster tools
