Plugin Description
Kocuj Sitemap plugin adds shortcode [KocujSitemap] that puts the sitemap in the place where it is located. This allows you to display links to all of your posts, pages and menu items anywhere on your website – even within the article. There is also a PHP function that allows you to place the sitemap anywhere on the website.
This plugin supports multilingual websites. If you have installed the plugin compatible with Kocuj Sitemap plugin (currently it is qTranslate), the plugin will generate a sitemap on your website in accordance with the currently selected language. If you do not have the plugin that supports multilingualism, Kocuj Sitemap plugin will display a sitemap for the default language defined for your WordPress installation.
The sitemap is automatically generated and stored in the cache after each change of any element in the administration panel, which is used in it (for example, when you change a post) to avoid using the database when loading a web page. This process speeds up the loading of sitemap on your website.
Requirements
This plugin requires PHP 5 (up to PHP 5.4.x version) and WordPress 2.8 or greater. It is recommended to use WordPress in, at least, 3.5 version.
How to use
The shortcode [KocujSitemap] has optional parameters:
title – text that will be used as the title of the link to the main page,class – name of the style sheet class that will be added to the block element (div or nav) containing the entire sitemap.
For example, if you add:
[KocujSitemap title="NEW TITLE" class="new_class"]
the sitemap will be displayed in the block element (div or nav) with the CSS class new_class and link to the home page with title NEW TITLE.
If you do not want to put the sitemap in the article, you can edit the PHP file responsible for the theme. Kocuj Sitemap plugin defines global PHP function which declaration is as follows:
<?php function kocujsitemap_show_sitemap($title = '', $class = '') ?>
The parameters $title and $class perform the same function as the corresponding parameters in the shortcode [KocujSitemap]. For example, if you add:
<?php kocujsitemap_show_sitemap('NEW TITLE', 'new_class'); ?>
the sitemap will be displayed in the block element (div or nav) with the CSS class new_class and link to the home page with title NEW TITLE.
