Building custom sitemap

[Gerrit]

Hi guys,

I'm trying to build a custom sitemap but having some difficulties.
The sitemap used to work, but now I have pages that require a user to be logged-in first.

If I use the SiteMap.RootNode and the loop through all the children I dont see the "protected" pages.
So then I used the CmsManager.GetPages() which returns all the pages and thats all good, BUT I need the sitemap to display as it displays in the CMS, in that order.

Now it seems like the "Ordinal" value only applies for a group and the pages in the group or something, I have found a thread where it will sort the pages with the ordinal but the menu is still messed-up and not in the order as it is in the cms.

Can anyone help me on how to sort the items so that they will display as in the admin area?

Here is the code I'm using but does not seem to do exactly what I want( I have just added some custom code that will check if a user may see the page, and only then add it to the List ) :

internal class CmsPageComarer : IComparer<ICmsPage>
    {
        #region IComparer<ICmsPage> Members

        public int Compare( ICmsPage x, ICmsPage y )
        {
            return x.Ordinal.CompareTo( y.Ordinal );
        }
        #endregion
    }

private List<ICmsPage> GetSource()

        {

            CmsManager manager = new CmsManager();

            IList pages = manager.GetPages();

 

            List<ICmsPage> source = new List<ICmsPage>();

 

            foreach( ICmsPage page in pages )

            {

                string lang = "en";

                if( Request.Url.ToString().ToLower().Contains( "/af/" ) ) lang = "af";

                int langCode = 0;

 

                if( lang.Equals( "en" ) ) langCode = 127;

                if( lang.Equals( "af" ) ) langCode = 54;

 

                if( IsPageVisibleToUser( page ) && page.Navigable && page.LangID == langCode )

                {

                    //show in menu

                    source.Add( page );

                }

            }

 

            CmsPageComarer comparer = new CmsPageComarer();

            source.Sort( comparer );

 

            return source;

        }

internal class CmsPageComarer : IComparer<ICmsPage>

{

#region IComparer<ICmsPage> Members

public int Compare( ICmsPage x, ICmsPage y )

{

return x.Ordinal.CompareTo( y.Ordinal );

}

#endregion

private List<ICmsPage> GetSource()

{

CmsManager manager = new CmsManager();

IList pages = manager.GetPages();

List<ICmsPage> source = new List<ICmsPage>();

foreach( ICmsPage page in pages )

{

string lang = "en";

if( Request.Url.ToString().ToLower().Contains( "/af/" ) ) lang = "af";

int langCode = 0;

if( lang.Equals( "en" ) ) langCode = 127;

if( lang.Equals( "af" ) ) langCode = 54;

if( IsPageVisibleToUser( page ) && page.Navigable && page.LangID == langCode )

{

//show in menu

source.Add( page );

}

}

CmsPageComarer comparer = new CmsPageComarer();

source.Sort( comparer );

return source;

Hello Gerrit,

You can take a look at this post that shows how to build the SiteMap There is a helper method GetPages(Guid parentId).
