Hi,I would like to be able to add our hidden products to sitemap.Most of our hidden products are just sold products that we keep in catalog.We store them in hidden sold/archive category.
Also basic question.Is it bad idea for SEO to add sold items to sitemap ? Can this for example help to bring more traffic from search engines ? Thanks advance for any help.
Hello!
In order to include hidden products into the sitemap, you can change the following code:
while ($params['pid'] = db_get_fields('SELECT product_id FROM ?:products WHERE status = ?s ORDER BY product_id ASC ?p', ObjectStatuses::ACTIVE, db_paginate($page, $products_per_page))) {
to this one:
while ($params['pid'] = db_get_fields('SELECT product_id FROM ?:products WHERE status IN (?a) ORDER BY product_id ASC ?p', [ObjectStatuses::ACTIVE, ObjectStatuses::HIDDEN], db_paginate($page, $products_per_page))) {
in the app/addons/google_sitemap/func.php file.
As for the SEO, I am afraid, but I cannot give you any advice on this.
