When upgrading to 5.2.0 sitemaps disappear, not only do my own sitemaps disappear but there is no option to create a sitemap in pages.
I can still access my own sitemaps from the main UI overview page by clicking on the other apps icon but I cannot access them from my phone neither android or iphone.
This is the Log error when trying to access a sitemap from my phone
ERROR org.openhab.core.io.rest.core.internal.JSONResponseExceptionMapper Unexpected exception occurred while processing REST request.
It must be something with my setup or this would have come up already. Any ideas what to look at?
My apologies, yes I can now see where the sitemaps went and there were two errors in the sitemap I use most often which I had not seen before. Once I corrected those errors the sitemaps are working again on my phone.
Now I have another issue with a different sitemap setup but I’ll start a new thread
I saw some ideas (in other topics/issues), that you can enable/disable the sidebar menu items, because many people use only a few (and also enable the sitemap menu item for the sitebar). Perhaps there are some “enable/disable” settings in the next releases
When it was split up, it was suggested that we shouldn’t add a separate “Sitemap” option on the sidebar to avoid overcrowding, similar to why some other things like Persistence aren’t there.
When that suggestion was put forth, the submenu customizer hasn’t been concocted yet IIRC.
I have now added the following to the submenu customizer PR:
Now that we can customize the submenus, make Sitemaps appear by default in the submenus. If it’s irrelevant to some users, they can remove it. By having it show up by default, it would reduce confusion for those who upgraded to 5.2+ and looking for Sitemaps which used to be in Pages.
Different people have different priorities…
