I need to adjust sitemap of DNN website, but I need to do that using multiple sitemap files. I already managed to add custom url data to main sitemap.aspx, using SitemapProvider, but I didn't find so far any way to create custom sitemap files. Creating files in file system doesn't seem to be appropriate option because of 2 reasons:
- routing won't get user there anyway
- sitemap.aspx doesn't exist in file system, so looks like it's generated by DNN server in some other way, which (I guess) I should follow as well
Could you please give explanation and example of that or some links where I could figure out things? Thanks.
If you want to manually control when/how multiple sitemap files are created, you will not be able to do so using DNN Platform tooling/options.
If you need manual control over the sitemap and the files created you will be required to create your own, and you can place in a location to be served. You cannot replace sitemap.aspx though without removing the handler registration (which is a potentially breaking change to DNN Platform and could be un-done on upgrades).
You noted the "auto" creation of multiple sitemaps. Per the SiteMapBuilder within DNN Platform it will automatically split to multiple files, but ONLY when you reach 50,000 links, there is no additional configuration ability to split this up.
