Check out the README for the sitemap_generator.

1. Add the gem to your Solidus store's Gemfile:

   gem 'solidus_dynamic_sitemaps', github: 'jtapia/solidus_dynamic_sitemaps'

2. Update your bundle:

   $ bundle install
   

3. Run the installer, it will create a config/sitemap.rb file with some sane defaults

   $ rails g solidus_dynamic_sitemaps:install
   

4. Add the sitemap to your .gitignore, since it will be regenerated server-side.

   $ echo "public/sitemap*" >> .gitignore
   

5. Set up a cron job to regenrate your sitemap via the rake sitemap:refresh task. If you use the Whenever gem, add this to your config/schedule.rb:

   every 1.day, at: '5:00 am' do
     rake '-s sitemap:refresh'
   end

6. Ensure crawlers can find the sitemap, by adding the following line to your public/robots.txt with your correct domain name

   $ echo "Sitemap: http://www.example.com/sitemap.xml.gz" >> public/robots.txt
   

7. Add link to sitemap to a view[Optional] <%= link_to 'Sitemap', '/sitemap' %>
