Django sitemaps, two pages using the same object - django

Question

I am trying to add a sitemap to a jobsite I have built (first time using the sitemaps framework in Djnago, so not 100% sure what I should be doing).
Anyway, I have two pages, a "job detail" page, and a "job apply" page. These are both based on the Job model, and have urls referencing the job id.
urls.py
url(r'^job-details/(?P<pk>\d+)/$', views.JobDetailView.as_view(), name='job_detail' ) ,
url(r'apply/(?P<pk>\d+)/$', views.JobApplyView.as_view(), name='job_apply' ),
sitemap.py
class JobsSitemap(Sitemap):
changefreq = "daily"
priority = 0.5
def items(self):
return Job.objects.filter( active=True,
venue__contacts__account_verified=True,
date_expires__gte=date.today())
def lastmod(self, obj):
return obj.date_posted
models.py
class Job(models.Model):
... field definitions here ....
def get_absolute_url(self):
return reverse('job_detail', kwargs={'pk': self.id})
Now the problem is that I have already specified get_absolute_url() on the Job model to point to the job detail page. So I can't point it to the job_apply page as well.
I tried configuring it according to the "Sitemap for static views" section in the docs, but that complains that there is no reverse match for that URL (as it is expecting the kwargs argument).
What is the correct way to deal with pages based on the same object?

There maybe other ways of doing it, but one that's really simple is to create two SiteMaps. Let the current one be as it is and create a new one, this time make sure to override the [location][1] property.
Location Optional. Either a method or attribute.
If it’s a method, it should return the absolute path for a given
object as returned by items().
If it’s an attribute, its value should be a string representing an
absolute path to use for every object returned
class JobsApplySitemap(Sitemap):
changefreq = "daily"
priority = 0.5
def items(self):
return Job.objects.filter( active=True,
venue__contacts__account_verified=True,
date_expires__gte=date.today())
def location(self, obj):
return "/apply/{0}/".format(obj.pk)
# you can use reverse instead
def lastmod(self, obj):
return obj.date_posted
