SiteMap Problems

kdehl113 · March 26th, 2006, 06:48 PM

I have been playing around with making a sitemap and have run into a problem. This is the error that I get when I try to run the site.

Exactly one <siteMapNode> element is required directly inside the <siteMap> element.

Here is a basic sitemap that I have ben playing with

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0">
    <siteMapNode url="default.aspx" title="Home" description="Home">
    </siteMapNode>
    <siteMapNode url="default1.aspx" title="Home1" description="Home1"></siteMapNode>
</siteMap>

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

I think what the error message is saying is that you need one, and only one "root" node, that in turn can have multiple sub nodes. Right now, your sitemap defines two siteMapNodes that server as the root, which is not OK.

Nest each subsequent element in the first "Home" element:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0">
    <siteMapNode url="default.aspx" title="Home" description="Home">
      <siteMapNode url="default1.aspx" title="Home1"    
            description="Home1"></siteMapNode>
      <siteMapNode url="default2.aspx" title="Home1"    
            description="Home2"></siteMapNode>
    </siteMapNode>
</siteMap>

The siteMap remind me of the navigation used in Microsoft UIP (Ages ago)

. âsiteMapâ should have only one <siteMap> node. And one and only main <siteMapNode>. That doesnât mean you cant group your child pages to a logical <siteMapNode>. Its best to show a proper example. Make sure to have the âurlâ attribute unique. That will be the internal unique identifier. Have a look at the bellowing sample.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<siteMap xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/AspNet/SiteMap-File-1.0" >
    <siteMapNode url="Default.aspx" title="Home" description="The default page" >
      <siteMapNode url= "ManageStock/Default.aspx" title="Home2" description="The default page" >
        <siteMapNode url="ManageStock/Page1.aspx" title="Run1" description="another page"/>
        <siteMapNode url="ManageStock/Page2.aspx" title="Run2" description="another page"/>
      </siteMapNode>

      <siteMapNode url= "BuyStock/Default.aspx" title="Home3" description="The default page" >
        <siteMapNode url="BuyStock/Page1.aspx" title="Run1" description="another page"/>
        <siteMapNode url="BuyStock/Page2.aspx" title="Run2" description="another page"/>
      </siteMapNode>
    </siteMapNode>
  </siteMap>
