Master sitemap with different sitemap

3.x is unsupported. Please use 4.x and let me know if what you are after can be achieved. If not, please be very specific as I am not sure what you mean with 'mapping xml'. If you mean having a sitemap index for all the sitemaps, this is already possible with 4.x.

Hi @gbyte,

First of all, I'm sorry for using the term mapping.xml.

By upgrading the module to the 4.x version, I can achieve the above structure. Thank you so much. I have one more question. Let's assume www.example.com contains a sitemap.xml (www.example.com/sitemap.xml). By clicking that, it should open the following structure, which should bring different sitemaps into this parent www.example.com/sitemap.xml. Is it possible to achieve this, or do I require any hooks or additional plugins or any contrib module to achieve the following output? Please guide me. Thank you.

<sitemapindex xmlns="http://www.sitemaps.org/schemas/sitemap/0.9">
   <sitemap>
       <loc>https://www.test.com/sitemap.xml</loc>
  </sitemap>
  <sitemap>
       <loc>https://www.sample.com/sitemap.xml</loc>
  </sitemap>
  <sitemap>
       <loc>https://www.dummy.com/sitemap.xml</loc>
  </sitemap>
  <sitemap>
      <loc>https://www.random.com/sitemap.xml</loc>
  </sitemap>
</sitemapindex>

Hi gbyte, could you please review the above one.

Sorry for the late answer, I missed this support request twice apparently. :(

It's possible to have external links to sitemaps in a sitemap index type of sitemap. Here is how:

• The simplest approach would be creating a new sitemap type via UI with "Sitemap index generator" as sitemap generator and "Arbitrary URL generator" as URL generator.
• Then create a sitemap of this type.
• Now implement hook_simple_sitemap_arbitrary_links_alter() and add the URLs programmatically. Example:

function hook_simple_sitemap_arbitrary_links_alter(array &$arbitrary_links, SimpleSitemapInterface $sitemap) {

  // Add an arbitrary link to all sitemaps.
  $arbitrary_links[] = [
    'url' => 'https://some-arbitrary-link/',
    // An ISO8601 formatted date.
    'lastmod' => '2012-10-12T17:40:30+02:00',
  ];
}

There is of course also the cleaner way which is to implement a URL generator plugin yourself and using that instead of using the arbitrary link plugin. I hope this helps.
