Hi There,

I'm new to Jsitemap, but it looked like to only sitemap tool to do what I need.

I have one Joomla installation powering 3 websites (menus linked to template) in a lot of languages, all defined by domain. So both the menu+template and language are defined by the domain name. So there is no language dropdown and I'm not using the standard Joomla multi language but I'm using Falang instead.

For example:
trikke.nl needs a Dutch sitemap for menu 1
hpv.trikke.nl needs a Dutch sitemap for menu 2
skki.trikke.nl needs a Dutch site map for menu 3
but,
trikke.pl needs a Polish sitemap for menu 1
hpv.poland.pl needs a Polish sitemap for menu2
And so on for +/- 20-30 domain/languages.

I hope someone can point me in the right direction on how to do. I've found http://storejextensions.org/faq/can-i-have-multiple-sitemaps-for-the-same-site.html in the faq, but it is not helpful in my case.

Thx,

Joris

Hi Joris,

well it seems a quite weird and complex configuration so i'm quite lost advicing you about how you can manage all these kind of languages, website domains, menus and related sitemaps.

By the way what you can try to do based on my ideas is the following:

1. Use datasets to restrict menus to each domain. For example create 3 datasets:
- Dataset 1 for menu 1
- Dataset 2 for menu 2
- Dataset 3 for menu 3

2. Combine languages with datasets for sitemap links, so for example:
-trikke.nl will have the sitemap link as: http://trikke.nl/index.php?option=com_jmap&format=xml&dataset=1&lang=nl
-hpv.trikke.nl will have the sitemap link as: http://hpv.trikke.nl/index.php?option=com_jmap&format=xml&dataset=2&lang=nl
-skki.trikke.nl will have the sitemap link as: http://skki.trikke.nl/index.php?option=com_jmap&format=xml&dataset=3&lang=nl

and so on with other languages:
-trikke.pl will have the sitemap link as: http://trikke.pl/index.php?option=com_jmap&format=xml&dataset=1&lang=pl
...etc...

Take care that in the JSitemap control panel you have to get the multilanguage dropdown, if not change the setting 'Sitemap multilanguage dropdown' to 'Show always dropdown'.
I hope you have a standard and correct Falang installation with all languages installed in Joomla. Other than this i can't see solutions to manage all this scenario.

Hi John,

your explanation sounds logical to me. I'll give it a try.

Thanx for the quick follow up.
