Step 3: Add Dynamic Content
Now that the sitemap is being served by coldfusion we can add to it dynamically. Here I will demonstrate how I add some blog entries to the listing.
<cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="true" showdebugoutput="false">
<cfprocessingdirective pageencoding="utf-8">
<cfquery name="demo" datasource="mydatasource">
select
url, dateupdated
from blog
limit 5
</cfquery>
<cfoutput><?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<urlset
xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9
http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9/sitemap.xsd">
<url>
<loc>http://www.neiland.net/</loc>
<lastmod>2011-03-05</lastmod>
<changefreq>daily</changefreq>
<priority>1</priority>
</url>
<url>
<loc>http://www.neiland.net/blog/</loc>
<lastmod>2011-03-05</lastmod>
<changefreq>weekly</changefreq>
<priority>0.8</priority>
</url>
<cfloop query="demo">
<url>
<loc>http://www.neiland.net/blog/#demo.url#/</loc>
<lastmod>#dateFormat(demo.dateupdated,"yyyy-mm-dd")#</lastmod>
<changefreq>never</changefreq>
<priority>0.5</priority>
</url>
</cfloop>
</urlset>
</cfoutput>
As you can see its a simple matter of getting some data and outputting it. Note the use of dateformat to output a valid date for the lastmod child node. Finally there is one last step we can do.
