sitemap for static views

[madisv]

People also use static views which are not FlatPages. So it's a problem creating a sitemap for such urls.
This is not hard to do if you know how so should this code maybe also be in django or might we just document this so people would know how to do this.

Problem explained also:

Solution by Matt Austin:
from django.core.urlresolvers import reverse
from django.contrib.sitemaps import Sitemap

class ViewSitemap(Sitemap):
    """Reverse static views for XML sitemap."""
    def items(self):
        # Return list of url names for views to include in sitemap
        return ['homepage', 'news_article_list', 'contact_page']

    def location(self, item):
        return reverse(item)


sitemaps = {'views': ViewSitemap, 'news_articles': ArticleSitemap}

I don't think this code needs to be in Django, but the sitemaps documentation could benefit from an example like this showing how to add static views to a sitemap.

This is a real issue, and i agree with carljm, if you suggest me a place for adding the documentation i can do that.
