Add documentation on adding arbitrary links to the sitemap index

You should already be able to do that:

Clean way:
Implement a new Extermal sitemap URL generator plugin collecting links to those sitemaps and add it to your Sitemap Index sitemap type under /config/search/simplesitemap/types/index.

Less clean way:
Add the Arbitrary URL generator to your Sitemap Index sitemap type and implement the hook hook_simple_sitemap_arbitrary_links_alter().

Check out the documentation and let me know if that helps or if you need other pointers.

I couldn't figure out why the index sitemap wasn't showing up when I put a breakpoint in a hook_simple_sitemap_arbitrary_links_alter() implementation. It was as simple as updating the "Sitemap Index" type to include "Arbitrary URL generator".

Thanks so much for your quick response. I had fun adding this functionality and learning more about how this module works. I'll take that as a win. :)

I don't blame you - this module has become very flexible and even though I've been trying, not everything in the UI is intuitive. E.g. in order for the sitemap index to index all other sitemaps, it should be generated last - this can be achieved by dragging it underneath all other stiemaps in the UI.

Maybe we need more comprehensive documentation for cases like yours.

Happy to hear that!
