Example: How to create dynamic sitemap with image tags
In this example the posts model has a belongsToMany
relationship to images.
Route::get('sitemap', function(){
// create new sitemap object
$sitemap = App::make("sitemap");
// set cache (key (string), duration in minutes (Carbon|Datetime|int), turn on/off (boolean))
// by default cache is disabled
$sitemap->setCache('laravel.sitemap', 3600);
// check if there is cached sitemap and build new only if is not
if (!$sitemap->isCached())
{
// add item to the sitemap (url, date, priority, freq)
$sitemap->add(URL::to('/'), '2012-08-25T20:10:00+02:00', '1.0', 'daily');
$sitemap->add(URL::to('page'), '2012-08-26T12:30:00+02:00', '0.9', 'monthly');
// get all posts from db, with image relations
$posts = DB::table('posts')->with('images')->orderBy('created_at', 'desc')->get();
// add every post to the sitemap
foreach ($posts as $post)
{
// get all images for the current post
$images = array();
foreach ($post->images as $image) {
$images[] = array(
'url' => $image->url,
'title' => $image->title,
'caption' => $image->caption
);
}
$sitemap->add($post->slug, $post->modified, $post->priority, $post->freq, $images);
}
}
// show your sitemap (options: 'xml' (default), 'html', 'txt', 'ror-rss', 'ror-rdf')
return $sitemap->render('xml');
});
