Add Extra Pages to Google Sitemap

sitemaps

We have a storelocator module on our Magento store, it works well but it is not being added to the Magento google sitemap.

Is there a way to add to our sitemap which Magento automatically generates?

You need to override the method Mage_Sitemap_Model_Sitemap::generateXml because Magento does not offer an event you can use for that.
Insert your code after the cms pages are added

This is the code that adds the cms pages to the sitemap:

    /**
     * Generate cms pages sitemap
     */
    $changefreq = (string)Mage::getStoreConfig('sitemap/page/changefreq', $storeId);
    $priority   = (string)Mage::getStoreConfig('sitemap/page/priority', $storeId);
    $collection = Mage::getResourceModel('sitemap/cms_page')->getCollection($storeId);
    foreach ($collection as $item) {
        $xml = sprintf('<url><loc>%s</loc><lastmod>%s</lastmod><changefreq>%s</changefreq><priority>%.1f</priority></url>',
            htmlspecialchars($baseUrl . $item->getUrl()),
            $date,
            $changefreq,
            $priority
        );
        $io->streamWrite($xml);
    }
    unset($collection);

You have to do a similar thing with your page.
You need to loop through your custom pages and do this:

 $xml = sprintf('<url><loc>%s</loc><lastmod>%s</lastmod><changefreq>%s</changefreq><priority>%.1f</priority></url>',
            htmlspecialchars($baseUrl . $item->getUrl()), //url of your custom page
            $date,
            $changefreq, //should be a config value
            $priority //should be a config value
        );
        $io->streamWrite($xml); //write xml node to the big sitemap xml

Try this.

Edit the app/design/frontend/your_package/your_theme/template/catalog/seo/tree.phtml file in your theme. Add an if condition just after the foreach loop which checks for activeness of the $_item.

<?php $_items = $this->getCollection(); ?>
<?php if($_items->getSize()): ?>
    <ul class="sitemap">
        <?php foreach ($_items as $_item): ?>
          <?php if( $_item->is_active ) : ?> 
            <li class="level-<?php echo $this->getLevel($_item) ?>" <?php echo $this->getLevel($_item)?'style="padding-left:' . $this->getLevel($_item, 2) . '0px;"':'' ?>><a href="<?php echo $this->getItemUrl($_item) ?>"><?php echo $_item->name ?></a></li>
        <?php endif; ?> 
        <?php endforeach; ?>
    </ul>
<?php else: ?>
    <p class="note-msg">
        <?php echo $this->__('There are no %s available.', $this->getItemsTitle()); ?>
    </p>
<?php endif ?>

Magento 1 Sitemap – How to Change Home in sitemap.xml

you are getting that url because the homepage is a CMS page.
In your case it has the identifier home.
In order to change that url you need to rewrite the method Mage_Sitemap_Model_Resource_Cms_Page::_prepareObject and make it look like this:

protected function _prepareObject(array $data)
{
    $object = new Varien_Object();
    $object->setId($data[$this->getIdFieldName()]);
    //for home set url to ''
    if ($data['url'] == 'home') {
        $data['url'] = '';
    }
    $object->setUrl($data['url']);

    return $object;
}

of course this won't work if you change the homepage to an other page. But it's a quick way of doing it.
If you want the clean version you have to check what is the hompage for your current store.
For this add a new member and method like this:

protected $_homeId = array();
public function getHomepageId($storeId)
{
    if (!isset($this->_homeId[$storeId]))) {
        $pageId = Mage::getStoreConfig(Mage_Cms_Helper_Page::XML_PATH_HOME_PAGE, $storeId);
        $delimeterPosition = strrpos($pageId, '|');
        if ($delimeterPosition) {
            $pageId = substr($pageId, 0, $delimeterPosition);
        }
        $this->_homeId[$storeId] = $pageId;
    }
    return $this->_homeId[$storeId];
}

In this case, you need to modify the getCollection method in the same class. Before $page = $this->_prepareObject($row); add this:

if ($row[$this->getIdFieldName()] == $this->getHomepageId($store)) {
    $row['url'] = '';
}
