Django sitemap change base url - django

Question

I'm using https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/sitemaps/?from=olddocs .
I have a sitemap generated from api.mydomain.me for the domain: mydomain.com.
Can I, with django, specify a base url ?
Now with location() method return:
api.mydomain.me/page/3123
instead of
mydomain.com/page/3123
Is this possible?
Thanks.

Answer 1

Solved, I redefined my own get_urls.
It works:
class MySitemap(Sitemap):
changefreq = "never"
priority = 0.5
location = ""
def get_urls(self, site=None, **kwargs):
site = Site(domain='mydomain.com', name='mydomain.com')
return super(MySitemap, self).get_urls(site=site, **kwargs)
def items(self):
return MyObj.objects.all().order_by('pk')[:1000]
def lastmod(self, obj):
return obj.timestamp

Answer 2

I didn't know how to use Site in my code by using previous answers so I used below code:
class Site:
domain = 'my_site.com'
class MySitemap(Sitemap):
def get_urls(self, site=None, **kwargs):
site = Site()
return super(MySitemap, self).get_urls(site=site, **kwargs)

You can try somethings like that:
from django.contrib.sites.models import Site, SiteManager
def get_fake_site(self):
return Site(domain='mydomain.com', name='mydomain.com')
SiteManager.add_to_class('get_current', get_fake_site)
You should do it before constructing yous sitemap, and revert back to default after it.

And If you have multiples Sitemaps classes you can use a mixin approach.
An example for Django 1.5.1.
from django.contrib.sitemaps import Sitemap
from django.contrib.sites.models import Site
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
from yourapp.models import MyObj
class SiteMapDomainMixin(Sitemap):
def get_urls(self, page=1, site=None, protocol=None):
# give a check in https://github.com/django/django/blob/1.5.1/django/contrib/sitemaps/__init__.py
# There's also a "protocol" argument.
fake_site = Site(domain='mydomain.com', name='mydomain.com')
return super(SiteMapDomainMixin, self).get_urls(page, fake_site, protocol=None)
class MySitemap(SiteMapDomainMixin):
changefreq = "never"
priority = 0.5
def items(self):
return MyObj.objects.all().order_by('pk')[:1000]
def location(self, item):
return reverse('url_for_access_myobj', args=(item.slug,))
def lastmod(self, obj):
return obj.updated_at
class AnotherSitemap(Sitemap):
changefreq = "never"
priority = 0.5
def items(self):
return ['url_1', 'url_2', 'url_3',]
def location(self, item):
return reverse(item)
The urls.py would be something like...
from sitemaps import MySitemap
from sitemaps import AnotherSitemap
from yourapp.views import SomeDetailMyObjView
admin.autodiscover()
sitemaps = {
'mysitemap': MySitemap,
'anothersitemap': AnotherSitemap,
}
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# other urls...
url(r'^accessing-myobj/(?P<myobj_slug>[-\w]+)$', SomeDetailMyObjView, name='url_for_access_myobj'),
(r'^sitemap\.xml$', 'django.contrib.sitemaps.views.sitemap', {'sitemaps': sitemaps}),
)

I use a patch by creating a custom template tag and use that function to replace the url:

Pretty much all answers require you to use the Site framework which requires migrations to work and it be added to INSTALLED_APPS.
In my instance I only needed to show the correct URL because I use Docker and the base URL based on my docker config is app.
With that all you need to do is define a custom Site() class like I have done below and you are good to go.
class UserGuideSitemap(sitemaps.Sitemap):
priority = 1
changefreq = 'daily'
def get_urls(self, site=None, protocol=None, **kwargs):
# we need the url to be site.com
# SiteToShow() is just a custom class that gives the data needed
return super().get_urls(site=SiteToShow(), protocol='https', **kwargs)
def items(self):
# must import here due to url circular import with urls.py
from apps.user_guide.urls import urlpatterns as urls
# get names of urls from base urls
final_list = list()
for pattern in urls:
url_name = pattern.pattern.name
# there are some urls we do not want
if url_name not in ['']:
final_list.append(url_name)
return final_list
def location(self, item):
# return the URL for the sitemap
return reverse(item)
And here is very simple the SiteToShow class:
class SiteToShow:
domain = 'site.com'
name = 'site.com'
def __str__(self):
return self.domain
