How can you create a custom Sitemap widget that excludes administration pages using the Fluent API?

The choice to use App.WorkWith().Pages().LocatedIn(Frontend) is appropriate for creating a custom Sitemap widget that specifically excludes administration pages. This method leverages the Fluent API provided by Sitefinity to filter pages based on their location within the site.

When you use the LocatedIn method, you are instructing the API to only include pages that are categorized within the "Frontend." This inherently avoids including any administrative pages, which are typically located in a different section of the application. The Fluent API allows for these types of streamlined queries, making it efficient to manipulate and filter content based on specific requirements without the need for additional code or complexity.

The other options are either not relevant or do not provide a method that directly achieves the goal of filtering out administration pages effectively. For instance, filtering by tags assigned to pages may not uniformly exclude admin pages since it depends on the tagging structure and could unintentionally include pages with shared tags. Querying using SQL may pose performance issues or increase complexity unnecessarily, considering that the Fluent API provides a more straightforward and maintainable approach. Lastly, directly manipulating URLs in the admin panel does not align with best practices for creating dynamic content and does not help in the context of building a functional Sitemap.
