First off, I have searched the forums and the only other thread I saw on this did not have an answer.

Filters I'm trying to use:
http://[domain].com/reviews.php
http://[domain].com/reviews.php*
reviews.php?item=
reviews.php*
reviews

The urls look like similar to this:
http://[domain]/reviews.php?item=CW15GL

I can't filter by item because I use that for item detail through the index page.

Any suggestions?

I'm having the same issue.

Certain pages (like memberlist.php, search.php, etc.) or criteria/queries (like p=, u=, id=, etc.) I do not want to list in the sitemap.

I add these to Settings > URLs or Quieries to Ignore
Unfortunately it doesn't properly filter all??

I put in a support ticket. I got some advice that I'm trying and some that just doesn't work. My fix is listed at the bottom. I listed as much info as I could to help anybody that has similar issues.

Quoted text is from the support ticket.



Well, this is not correct:

I have that filter in place and it still includes those.

Regarding this comment:

I have the counter point of "the software crashes and won't crawl the entire site", that's why I've been trying to add filters and reduce the number of urls it scans.

In a follow up to my comment about the software crashing, I was given this advice:


So, even though I am an administrator, I'm now forcing windows to run the program as an administrator.

My best attempt to fix the errors with Sitemapper is this:
I've added some code in place on my site that says if my IP address is loading the site, not to print the links I don't want. I don't really want to have to do that, but if that's the only way I can get the software to complete the index, then I can live with that for a day.

I'm not sure how familiar you are with php or the server variables, but you can do something like this:

At the top of the page (i like to put this before any html tags including html and head:

if ( getenv('REMOTE_ADDR') == '10.0.0.1' ) //(change 10.0.0.1 to your IP address)
{
$hideme = 1;
}

If you're not completely sure what your IP address is, you can run this at the top of the page:
print getenv('REMOTE_ADDR');
// or this if you want it more readable - // print "IP Address: |{getenv('REMOTE_ADDR')}| \n";
// or this if you don't like using the curly brackets - // print "IP Address: |".getenv('REMOTE_ADDR')."| \n";

When you print the code for your links, encase your links in a conditional like this:
if ($hideme != 1)
{
print "the code for the link \n";
}

I know, I know, my spacing for the conditionals isn't conventional and a ternary statement could be used, etc, etc.
For the sake of reading it on a forum post, I spread it out. I hope it's helpful. I know it's not a fix for the software, but I hope it helps get the map completed.

I had a similar issue, but at a point it misteriously fixed by itself... maybe due to some setting of the system, I don't know

This thread is a year old, but this is happening to me, I'm using ignore contains, and it still logs it. Has there been a fix?
