Catalog export

sitemap

baseurl

URL to the folder where the site maps can be accessed, without the filenames.

controller/jobs/catalog/export/sitemap/baseurl = https://www.yourshop.com/sitemaps/

• Default:
• Type: string - Absolute URL
• Since: 2019.06

The site maps must be publically available for download by the search engines. Individual site map files need a fully qualified URL in the index file.

https://www.yourshop.com/your/sitemap/path/

The location of the site map index file should then be added to the robots.txt in the document root of your domain:

Sitemap: https://www.yourshop.com/your/sitemap/path/aimeos-catalog-sitemap-index.xml

changefreq

Change frequency of the catalog

controller/jobs/catalog/export/sitemap/changefreq = daily

• Default: daily
• Type: string - One of the pre-defined strings (see description)
• Since: 2019.02

Depending on how often the catalog content changes and the site map files are generated you can give search engines a hint how often they should reindex your site. The site map schema allows a few pre-defined strings for the change frequency:

• always
• hourly
• daily
• weekly
• monthly
• yearly
• never

container/options

List of file container options for the site map files

controller/jobs/catalog/export/sitemap/container/options = Array
(
    [gzip-mode] => wb
)

• Default: Array
• Type: array - Associative list of option name/value pairs
• Since: 2019.02

The directory and the generated site map files are stored using container/content objects from the core, namely the "Directory" container and the "Binary" content classes. Both implementations support some options:

• dir-perm (default: 0755): Permissions if the directory must be created
• gzip-level (default: 5): GZip compression level from 0 to 9 (0 = fast, 9 = best)
• gzip-mode (default: "wb"): Overwrite existing files in binary mode

decorators/excludes

Excludes decorators added by the "common" option from the catalog export sitemap job controller

controller/jobs/catalog/export/sitemap/decorators/excludes = Array
(
)

• Default: Array
• Type: array - List of decorator names
• Since: 2019.02

Decorators extend the functionality of a class by adding new aspects (e.g. log what is currently done), executing the methods of the underlying class only in certain conditions (e.g. only for logged in users) or modify what is returned to the caller.

This option allows you to remove a decorator added via "controller/jobs/common/decorators/default" before they are wrapped around the job controller.

 controller/jobs/catalog/export/sitemap/decorators/excludes = array( 'decorator1' )

This would remove the decorator named "decorator1" from the list of common decorators ("\Aimeos\Controller\Jobs\Common\Decorator*") added via "controller/jobs/common/decorators/default" to the job controller.

decorators/global

Adds a list of globally available decorators only to the catalog export sitemap job controller

controller/jobs/catalog/export/sitemap/decorators/global = Array
(
)

• Default: Array
• Type: array - List of decorator names
• Since: 2019.02

Decorators extend the functionality of a class by adding new aspects (e.g. log what is currently done), executing the methods of the underlying class only in certain conditions (e.g. only for logged in users) or modify what is returned to the caller.

This option allows you to wrap global decorators ("\Aimeos\Controller\Jobs\Common\Decorator*") around the job controller.

 controller/jobs/catalog/export/sitemap/decorators/global = array( 'decorator1' )

This would add the decorator named "decorator1" defined by "\Aimeos\Controller\Jobs\Common\Decorator\Decorator1" only to the job controller.

decorators/local

Adds a list of local decorators only to the catalog export sitemap job controller

controller/jobs/catalog/export/sitemap/decorators/local = Array
(
)

• Default: Array
• Type: array - List of decorator names
• Since: 2019.02

Decorators extend the functionality of a class by adding new aspects (e.g. log what is currently done), executing the methods of the underlying class only in certain conditions (e.g. only for logged in users) or modify what is returned to the caller.

This option allows you to wrap local decorators ("\Aimeos\Controller\Jobs\Catalog\Export\Sitemap\Decorator*") around the job controller.

 controller/jobs/catalog/export/sitemap/decorators/local = array( 'decorator2' )

This would add the decorator named "decorator2" defined by "\Aimeos\Controller\Jobs\Catalog\Export\Sitemap\Decorator\Decorator2" only to the job controller.

domains

List of associated items from other domains that should be fetched for the sitemap

controller/jobs/catalog/export/sitemap/domains = Array
(
    [0] => text
)

• Default: Array
• Type: array - List of domain names
• Since: 2019.02

Catalogs consist not only of the base data but also of texts, media and other details. Those information is associated to the catalog via their lists. Using the "domains" option you can make more or less associated items available in the template.

location

Directory where the generated site maps should be placed into

controller/jobs/catalog/export/sitemap/location = 

• Default:
• Type: string - Absolute directory to store the site maps into
• Since: 2019.02

The site maps must be publically available for download by the search engines. Therefore, you have to configure a directory for the site maps in your web space that is writeable by the process generating the files, e.g.

The location of the site map index file should then be added to the robots.txt in the document root of your domain:

Sitemap: https://www.yourshop.com/your/sitemap/path/aimeos-sitemap-index.xml

The "sitemapindex-aimeos.xml" file is the site map index file that references the real site map files which contains the links to the catalogs. Please make sure that the protocol and domain (https://www.yourshop.com/) is the same as the ones used in the catalog links!

max-items

Maximum number of categories per site map

controller/jobs/catalog/export/sitemap/max-items = 5

• Default: 50000
• Type: integer - Number of categories per file
• Since: 2019.02

Each site map file must not contain more than 50,000 links and it's size must be less than 10MB. If your catalog URLs are rather long and one of your site map files is bigger than 10MB, you should set the number of categories per file to a smaller value until each file is less than 10MB.

max-query

Maximum number of categories per query

controller/jobs/catalog/export/sitemap/max-query = 5

• Default: 1000
• Type: integer - Number of categories per query
• Since: 2019.02

The catalogs are fetched from the database in bunches for efficient retrieval. The higher the value, the lower the total time the database is busy finding the records. Higher values also means that record updates in the tables need to wait longer and the memory consumption of the PHP process is higher.

Note: The value of max-query must be smaller than or equal to {@see controller/jobs/catalog/export/sitemap/max-items max-items}

name

Class name of the used catalog sitemap export scheduler controller implementation

controller/jobs/catalog/export/sitemap/name = Standard

• Default: Standard
• Type: string - Last part of the class name
• Since: 2019.02

Each default job controller can be replace by an alternative imlementation. To use this implementation, you have to set the last part of the class name as configuration value so the controller factory knows which class it has to instantiate.

For example, if the name of the default class is

 \Aimeos\Controller\Jobs\Catalog\Export\Sitemap\Standard

and you want to replace it with your own version named

 \Aimeos\Controller\Jobs\Catalog\Export\Sitemap\Mysitemap

then you have to set the this configuration option:

 controller/jobs/catalog/export/sitemap/name = Mysitemap

The value is the last part of your own class name and it's case sensitive, so take care that the configuration value is exactly named like the last part of the class name.

The allowed characters of the class name are A-Z, a-z and 0-9. No other characters are possible! You should always start the last part of the class name with an upper case character and continue only with lower case characters or numbers. Avoid chamel case names like "MySitemap"!

template-footer

Relative path to the XML site map footer template of the catalog site map job controller.

controller/jobs/catalog/export/sitemap/template-footer = catalog/export/sitemap-items-footer-standard

• Default: catalog/export/sitemap-items-footer-standard
• Type: string - Relative path to the template creating XML code for the site map footer
• Since: 2019.02

The template file contains the XML code and processing instructions to generate the site map footer. The configuration string is the path to the template file relative to the templates directory (usually in controller/jobs/templates).

You can overwrite the template file configuration in extensions and provide alternative templates. These alternative templates should be named like the default one but with the string "standard" replaced by an unique name. You may use the name of your project for this. If you've implemented an alternative client class as well, "standard" should be replaced by the name of the new class.
