New pages in Kentico not listing in googlesitemap.xml - kentico

Here's the setup:
Root site, set up to show in sitemap and is searchable.
Page under it doesn't get listed in sitemap (in fact, no pages do).
Create a new page with options to show in sitemap and is searchable but is not listed in sitemap xml file
In fact, nothing shows in our sitemap except the location of the robots file.
I understand that initially it only lists CMS.MenuItem objects (as per https://docs.kentico.com/k11/configuring-kentico/search-engine-optimization/google-sitemaps).
Is there a setting I'm missing to show pages in the sitemap?
In case it's important: kentico version is 10.

Make sure your custom page types are configured in the code file:
Either in code before ~/CMSPages/googlesitemap.aspx or code behind ~/CMSPages/googlesitemap.aspx.cs
Since it's similar to a repeater you can set the ClassNames property to identify the different page types you want it to use for rendering.
e.g. when in code before: ClassNames="CMS.MenuItem;CMS.News;Custom.Type"
Resulting in something like:
<cms:GoogleSitemap runat="server" ID="googleSitemap"
TransformationName="CMS.Root.GoogleSiteMap" CacheMinutes="0"
OrderBy="NodeLevel, NodeOrder, NodeName"
ClassNames="CMS.MenuItem;CMS.News;Custom.Type" />

Kentico custom page url with URL "Path or Pattern" feature

Updated: As I put in the comment under Brenden's response. I think the issue is not related to multilingual site, but it's with using Properties/ URLs / Path or Pattern feature. After adding value to the field Path of Pattern, the whole navigation stops working properly.
I have a multilingual site (English, French). Currently the URLs are like below:
English: www.domain.com/en-us/contact-us
French: www.domain.com/fr-fr/contact-us
What I want for French is a custom (translated) url www.domain.com/fr-fr/contactez-nous
I followed this Kentico instruction - the bottom part of the page with using Path or Pattern by adding /contactez-nous in the box. Things seem ok, but upon clicking on the page with the new URL on the French site, the whole main navigation (done with Hierarchical Viewer) seems to stuck with that URL; clicking anywhere on the nav doesn't do anything.
Links outside the nav works fine. How to make the nav work again. Thanks for your help!
I think I got it. The GetDocumentURL() is using NodeAliasPath to determine the URL. However, if you have not specified the NodeAliasPath column in the Columns property of the hierarchical viewer, then the current page's NodeAliasPath is used - and thus all items have the same URL. Adding the NodeAliasPath to the Columns property should fix the issue, so the hierarchical viewer has access to the data of each individual item.
EDIT: it looks like that in some cases the DocumentURLPath column must be specified too.
Make sure you're testing this in another browser or even another browser in a private window. If you are testing in a new tab in the same window, the CMS caches the selected language in the Kentico UI and shows that in the browser window.
For instance, if you have selected "French" on the pages app in the bottom left under the content tree, then navigate to your site in a new tab, it will display French no matter how many times you change the language selector on your public site to a new language.
Secondly, check the URL aliases for the given pages in each language. Make sure you don't have an alias that is the same in each language. For instance /contact-us with French and /contact-us in English.

Custom search result page in shopware5

I need to create a custom search result page for my Shopware site. As I know custom pages can be designed only for detail and list pages.
However, after creating custom list page for my site with the name of “custom_listing.tpl” my search result page is still looks like the default list page of the site. How can I get rid of this default list page template on my search result page?
I tried to change the fuzzy.tpl {include file='frontend/listing/listing.tpl'} to my “custom_listing.tpl” but that did not work.
What you need to do is to create your own theme/template and activate it in the Shopware backend. Further you need to create your own frontend/search/fuzzy.tpl in your theme folder.
Now let your own fuzzy.tpl extend from the original one like so:
{extends file='parent:frontend/search/fuzzy.tpl'}
After that you will have access to all the smarty blocks that are defined in the parent fuzzy file and even in the frontend/index/index.tpl of which the parent fuzzy extends from.
Make your changes, deploy it to your localhost or webserver and after clearing the cache the search controller should autoload the overridden fuzzy.tpl with your custom search results layout.

Orchard - access a content type through different URLs so they use different views

I'm trying to create a CSS documentation library in Orchard. I want to save a description, CSS snippet and HTML snippet against each content type. The first view would show the description and CSS and HTML code written out. The second view would show a preview of what the CSS and HTML look like rendered.
cssdocumentation.com/content/item1
cssdocumentation.com/content/item1/live-preview
I've created the content type and the first view. But I'm not sure how to create the second view. I can see if I can create the alternative URL I can use the Url Alternates module to create an overriding .cshtml
To create an alternative URL I've looked at the autoroute module but this only allows you to adapt a single URL (unless I'm missing something?) and I've looked at Alias UI but this forces me to manually create an alternative URL everytime I create a content item.
Is this possible in Orchard without writting too much C#? (I'm a frontend developer so I only dabble in the behind the scenes stuff)
Thanks for any help
Best solution is to do this within your own module. But as a secondary option instead of having a second page, combine this content with your first page and hide it with CSS. When the user clicks a button to navigate to the next step render the CSS/HTML result on the same page. You can do this in many ways, here are a few ideas:
Render the CSS/HTML result out straight away on the same page but hide it. Show it when the user clicks a button
using jQuery to render the result on the client side. More dynamic if you allow editing of the HTML and CSS.
Redirecting the user to the same page with specific url parameters which you can pick up in your alternate to modify the output.

Custom information pages not using SEO friendly URLs in OpenCart

I am having issues with the opencart layout override feature. I have created a new information page and I set the layout override to "test". The route for this layout is "information/test". The controller is in the right place, as is the template. I gave the new page the seo-friendly url of "test-page".
My issue is that if I type in "domain.com/test-page" it will get there, but it uses the regular information layout instead of my customized test layout. I can type in domain.com/index.php?route=information/test&information_id=119 and it will now show the page with the right layout.
Is there a way to have it go the customized layout page (domain.com/index.php?route=information/test&information_id=119) when I type in the seo-frindly URL that I created when I created the new information page.
My issue is I am trying to add a carousel to just one information page, while still using seo-friendly URLs.
actually what you coded in template file test.tpl is not a layout, its actually a page accessed using test.php controller , and that page can be opened by accessing url domain.com/index.php?route=information/test&information_id=119 as you already mentioned.
How to create layout then ?
You have already created layout named test by going to System >> Design >> Layouts, now go to module carousel and a module to test layout at say content-top , set your test-page layout override to test and now go to domain.com/test-page and you will see carousel at the top, this is how layout works. what you previously doing was creating a new page by duplicating information controller and template.

Need to have separate "complete" Drupal theme for each page on a site

I want to build a Drupal demonstration site where I can create several custom themes and display each on a separate page of the site. Access can be either via links or menu items. The "simpler" the solution the better.
Create a custom block that executes PHP code. The following code snippet should show the current page in the theme set in $custom_theme.
global $custom_theme, $theme;
// If $theme is set, init_theme() will not initialize the custom theme.
unset($theme);
// Set the theme you want to use.
$custom_theme = "garland";
init_theme();
There is also a module that allows you to change the used theme based on some rules (in example, the content type being showed, the URL of the page being viewed, etc): the project page is http://drupal.org/project/themekey.
