How to Generate Sitemap.xml File Sitemaps are an easy way for webmasters to inform search engines about pages on their sites that are available for crawling. In its simplest form, a Sitemap is an XML file that lists URLs for a site along with additional metadata about each URL in a file on your website https://yourwebsite.com/sitemap.xml

Your Sitemap File is an XML document that describes the structure of your site and the date that each page was last updated. Search engines use this information to help determine when they need to re-list a page or alter its search relevancy. If you've made recent changes to your site and want to make sure that Google et al. sees them as soon as possible, make sure to run the generate sitemap job.

  1. First go to your Dashboard
  2. Click System & Settings to pop out the menu
  3. Under Optimization Jobs
  4. Click the play button and the CMS will update your sitemap.xml text

Expected Results There will be a sitemap.xml located: https://documentation.concretecms.org/sitemap.xml

Controlling Google Tag Manager Tags Based on Concrete CMS Edit Toolbar Visibility

This document provides a step-by-step guide on how to control the firing of Google Tag Manager (GTM) tags based on the visibility of the Concrete CMS edit toolbar. It explains how to create a custom JavaScript variable in GTM to detect whether the edit toolbar is present on a page and how to set up a trigger that ensures GTM tags only fire when the toolbar is not visible. This setup is particularly useful for developers and marketers who want to ensure that tracking and analytics tags are not activated during content editing sessions, thereby preserving the accuracy of data collected.
