Installation

1. Add this extension to your Gemfile with this line:

Spree >= 3.1

gem 'spree_sitemap', github: 'spree-contrib/spree_sitemap'

Spree 3.0 and Spree 2.x

gem 'spree_sitemap', github: 'spree-contrib/spree_sitemap', branch: 'X-X-stable'

The branch option is important: it must match the version of Spree you're using. For example, use 3-0-stable if you're using Spree 3-0-stable or any 3.0.x version.

2. Install the gem using Bundler:

bundle install

3. Copy & run migrations

bundle exec rails g spree_sitemap:install

4. Restart your server

If your server was running, restart it so that it can find the assets properly.

5. Add sitemap to your .gitignore

echo "public/sitemap*" >> .gitignore

6. Setup a daily cron job to regenrate your sitemap via the rake sitemap:refresh task. If you use the Whenever gem, add this to your config/schedule.rb

every 1.day, at: '5:00 am' do
  rake '-s sitemap:refresh'
end

7. make sure crawlers can find the sitemap, by adding the following line to your public/robots.txt with your correct domain name

echo "Sitemap: http://www.example.com/sitemap.xml.gz" >> public/robots.txt
