Django also provides a simple way to ping Google to notify it that your web content has changed and that your site should be reindexed. The django.contrib.sitemaps.ping_google() function tells Google to reindex your site's sitemap.
The default value for the sitemap is '/sitemap.xml'. However, you can specify a different value by using the sitemap_url argument. For example:
ping_google(sitemap_url='/sitemap-report.xml')
By the Way
The ping_google() function raises the django.contrib.sitemaps.SitemapNotFound exception if it cannot determine the website.
Using the ping_google() function, you can notify Google every time the data in your database changes. The following example pings Google every time the report object is saved:
from django.contrib.sitemaps import ping_google
class report(models.Model):
. . .
def save(self):
super(report, self).save()
try:
ping_google(sitemap_url='/sitemap-report.xml')
except Exception:
pass
Watch Out!
If objects are being saved frequently, you may not want to add the extra cycles that the ping_google() function generates. Pick objects that do not get updated as frequently, or add a timed function that runs periodically to ping Google.
